Hi juniors!

It's great to see the band growing this year. Watching you last saturday made me proud,not because of the sound quality, but because of the sheer hardwork that you have put in for the last month to showcase these simple,yet enjoyable pieces.

Good to have all the sec1s well integrated into the band now. I am definitely looking forward to future performances of the band.

To my Exco juniors,continue to lead the band well and all your hardwork will pay off.
I do apologize for not briefing you guys before stepping down. It must have been scary for you guys to straight away take charge of a young band. I think you guys have down exceptionally well.

That's all from me for now. I'll catch up with you guys in band practices and band farewell :)

Your ex-DM,
Daniel

Hey guys,

Great job on the performance yesterday! We managed to impress the audience although we only had like 1 month to prepare. We managed to pull through.

I hope all of you have learnt that in a performance, we have to persevere through all obstacles, like the rain, the small lorry, etc. That didn't hinder us from performing in the end. This is the right spirit that we should have. (:

Also, the band has showed lots of teamwork in helping one another in the preparation of the event, like holding scores, stands, and helping to move heavy percussion instruments. We would not have made if not for all of you who had helped us carried and bring the instruments to and fro. (:

Of course, all in all, this performance has brought the band closer, from different levels and different sections. And that is the true glory we get from performances.

We hope all of you have enjoyed yourself on the day and has learnt something from it.
We are one family. We are the PHS Symphonic Band family. (:

So for now, remember to work hard for your exams! We will see each other once again when band resumes after the EOY. All the best!

P.S : A video of our performances will be up soooon. So stay tune.

We made MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE possible!
