" I dunch now why, but I see disappointment in all your eyes..."
So this is how it ends.
"Band 8. Pingyi Springfield Secondary School.. Gold"
The Titans showed their might, at around 6pm yesterday. When the results were out, there were tears of joy, screams, wild movements...some, tears of sorrow. What has there to be sad about? The medal? The separation? If you ask me, yes, many of us were aiming for honours, but the gold, for now, is good enough. It's just not our year. Sure, we improved a damn hell lot. But TK, Bowen and Deyi sec...they did the same. Yes, they were better. But why don't you all think of it this way. When years pass, juniors become seniors, the band grows with more juniors, we'll be right back there again somewhere in the near future, fighting yet again with that same Titans spirit.
What have I to say?
"For the past five years...since I stepped into band when I was sec1 till today. This band...this section...I made it my life, and my dream. Today...my dream ends."
*tears*
"But there's one thing I want to say. All this time I spent with you, it's been great. I want to thank all of you, for making this dream so wonderful. But don't feel bad now. You did a great job. And believe me, there will be a day where the Titans come together again, and get that gold with honours somewhere in the future. Trust me on that."
My life...my dream. So ends a chapter. Without this dream spurring me to go forward with each passing day, I feel as if I'd lost a direction in life. There's nothing for me now. And if we really do go our separate ways, who knows how long it will be before it's time to come back together again. For this time, my dream has ended. All those times I spent with the percussion section; both drumline and sideline. Times when I was too harsh with them when I didn't know them well enough. Times when I got too frustrated. And the times they made me smile...all the time. The only thing I regret is not spending some real time with them, to get to know them, to encourage them as a friend. When I see them in the field again, the young ones...will be all grown up. With new additions. Older ones...asyraf and hidayat especially. they'll be with the alumni, am I right?
Snare Drummers --
Syahmi, Khairi, Sonia, Mavis, Carmen, Hidayat...
Except for hidayat, the next time I'll be seeing you guys (if you take part in outdoor 2008) is when you're in sec4, older, more experienced, more confident. Syahmi and khairi...you'll both be taller!!! I wonder how you will be in the near future. Mavis and Carmen!! You two ah, improved really alot alot alot!! except that you are just not confident enough! you know, snare drummers have the strongest confidence in the whole drumline. Remeber that! Continue improving guys! Sonia ahhh...everytime dun wan come school and come for band. Learn to be more devoted! this is your Titans band! and you should be proud to be a Titans snare drummer! As for hidayat, maybe he'll be staying with the alumni cuz he'd have graduated by then. Together, we'll bring up our juniors to be as good, or even better than we are now! Until that time, snare drummers of '06, keep working hard, be more confident! Because you are not just any snare drummers, you are Titans snare drummers!
Toms--
Asyraf, Tahir, Johann, Aqidah...
Oh, the pros of the percussion section. Especially aqidah; I think you're really really special. Like shane said, who would've thought you'd survive on the toms! It's a dream to watch all of you play on the toms. Tahir, Johann, in 2008 you'd be in sec4, and more pro than anyone could ever imagine!! Tahir tahir...keep growin, man. I think you'll be taller than me in '08 =) Asyraf, my snare buddy in '04! I've got nothing to say for you, except to keep that spirit up! You know why I got nothing to say? Because you're already one of the best. As long as you're from the '04 batch, you would know how you're expected to be. Although you would already graduate in '08, welcome you to the alumni! we can always be with the band even after we graduate! rock on, man.
Bass Drummers...*BOOM!*--
Faiz, Sufi, Ibrahim, Zheng Wei...
Bass drummers! you are kings of percussion, kings of the band. You keep the band going, you give the true pulse of the Titans! Being with all of you for the past year was wonderful. Times when teaching you all were frustrating, but look at you today. Bass drum masters. Gotta keep workin on the multiple bass!! By the next outdoor, I wanna hear that multiple sixlets!!! hahaha...Faiz, you joker. Everytime laughing and laughing. You make a really good bass drum leader. Keep leading your bass drummers well, and keep working hard! FOCUS!! Sufi, always listen to one another! When I saw you on the field, you were so pumped up it almost brought me to tears. Keep practicing those strokes! Ibrahim, Ibrahim. So tall, but you mentality is still not there. Learn to be more confident! I know you all were very confident and were not afraid at all durin the competition! keep up the good work! We're gonna KICK SOME ASS!!
Cymbalists --
Huifang, Faizah...
Wow, you two really bring up the spirit of the band alot. With you spinning, and your playing. I know it isn't easy to play the cymbals, because frankly I can't march with them! hahahaha...huifang, always bothering me on msn and sms! Sorry when I don't reply okay. You know why. hahaha. I know you've improved tremendously over the past few months. Keep working hard and keep improving! I know you'll be rock solid durin the next outdoor! Faizah, always playing around with me and giving that face. hahaha. I'm really proud of you for conquering your mentality and having the drive to go forward all the time! I remember you used to fall out frequently because you were tired. None of that now though!! I'm really proud. Like huifang, keep working hard! in the next outdoor, that glitter in the field will be from the spinnin of your cymbals!!! =)
Titans Drumline
I'm proud of all of you, really, for getting this far together. Seems you already have that bond in your heart, althought it's still not that strong. Remember that you are the pulse of the Titans, the heartbeat! As long as you all continue moving forward, I'm sure that there's nothing that can stop you. I love you guys! You were the ones that made my dream come true...and made it so beautiful! THANKS ALOT GUYS! CONQUER THE MIND, ACHIEVE THE DREAM! ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE THE BEST! CUZ NEXT TIME, WE'RE GONNA KICK SOME ASS! GO-TI-TANS, LETS GO!
