Almost a decade ago...mrs ng gek tiang, ex principal of springfield secondary school, brought the bands of springfield and ping yi secondary school together. That was even before the millenium, years and years ago. Not many people knew of that age of bands. Not many people knew those who were in the band at that time. At that time, the Titans to be were merely in obscurity, faded and blurred by the other bands, and it continued to be that way until after the millenium, where things started to take a turn for the better. It shined brighter than ever. As it continued to climb, mrs ng showed more support, more and more, until its peak in 2004.
"The combined band of Springfield and Ping Yi secondary school : Gold."
That is when the Titans name shined greater than ever. In the past decade.
And again in 2006. GOLD Medal. We had more than half the band made up of sec ones and twos. Although we didn't manage to get into the finals, we showed everyone just how powerful the Titans unity and spirit could be. We maintained the medal, knowing that this year was just not ours. But if fate allows, we would come back together again in the year 2008, two years from now on this month. In two years, we'd get back into the scene and kick some ass. Top Display Band 2008 would be ours. It WILL be ours.
BUT THIS DREAM WILL CEASE TO BE A REALITY IF THIS POLITICAL CONTEST RAGES ON.
the dream that everyone had since too long ago. The dream that I had since I stepped into band.
The someone in springfield (who shall not be named) playing these politics will result in the disintegration of the Titans. A band that had come so far in the past ten years, split in one moment, then ceasing to exist altogether. Just think.
3 days ago on 22nd April. Central Judging of Display Bands. Where was she? PY sent sec2 to sec5. hundreds to come support us. and it was compulsory. Students in PY previously had sessions arranged by the PRINCIPAL to sit down during assemblies to practice their Titans cheers. Mrs woo, principal of PY sec came over personally. When the band was waiting for their results, tired, weary, on the brink of fainting, she brought water over to FEED them. This was the support she gave us.
What about SPF? she WAS NOT EVEN THERE. she sent sec twos to support us. sec twos. SEC TWOS. HOW MANY IS THAT. and it was a saturday. no lessons. no reason not to send more! what the hell is she thinking about? THIS is the support she gives the Titans. THIS is the support she gives CCAs in SPF sec. just because of her I don't even want to be associated with SPF anymore. Because of YOU. you heartless monster. After all we've been through YOU want to separate us because of your bloody POLITICAL goals. YOU think we're strong enough to conpete as individual bands. but have YOU given it a thought for once?
The Titans brought back medals (if that is all you care about you lousy fucker) because of their spirit as ONE BAND from TWO SCHOOLS. ONE BAND. if you split us now, we're effectively HALF a band and HALF OUR SPIRIT IS GONE! What then is the meaning of the Titans when we have to separate, and most likely we are to COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER in 2008 if that happens? WHAT IS THE MEANING? WE came this far together since god knows how long ago. As one Titans band. If we split, Titans tee shirt, Titans uniform, we can THROW IT ALL AWAY because it just holds no meaning anymore. have YOU given it a thought? If you think we can bring back medals for your lousy office display as individual bands then you're WRONG.
Let me tell everyone something. the Titans forged a spirit within themselves that is only harnessed when they are as ONE band. If they split, the members get to choose. Fight against what used to be one of you, or don't fight at all. For many if not all band members, the latter is what they are trying to put across. Kill not your own brethren. We refuse to fight against each other. Do not try to tell us that it is time to move on or whatever crap. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. The name we chose for our band two years ago will be nullified in meaning. Everything we worked for till today will go to WASTE. The emotions, the feelings, the achievements, we can toss them all out the window, because THIS BAND WILL CEASE TO EXIST!
All those fond memories all of us had, all the scoldings, everything was just so worth it.
this is how that person thinks now. this is just how heartless she is.
ACADEMICS ARE NOT EVERYTHING YOUR HEARTLESS MONSTER!
