omgosh we got Gold With Honours!

an unspoken dream fulfilled!

Vj band and conductor Mr Tan never ever voiced out our desire for this SYF, all we knew was that our band had LOTS of potential which we wanted to showcase yesterday. And we did!

Thank God for a large group of faithful Christians in Band who came together in prayer and this gave me much peace and calm. Like what jessica said, yesterday was our first SYF we didnt feel that nervous over, praise the Lord. I could actually keep my mind and memory intact. even though the judges were in full view and there many recognisable seniors and friends in the audience, calm helped me keep my head on my shoulders and managed to do all my parts satisfactorily. I successfully completed part Y too, one part which i never ever had been able to do 100%! im also so proud of the horn and flute and timpani soloists:)) at the end of the performance, i gave the widest smile to the audience ever- my last time on that stage man!

then we took the chartered bus back to school and percussionists went out for lunch at the pizza place at city hall before going back to Singapore Conference Hall for the results. while waiting i went school hopping and met up with many many friends - jasmine chiam, vanessa, jessalynn, jasmine ngu, timothy, jefri, samuel, michelle, louis, chengfu, melvin, faeliq, jiffsen and sweelin:)) the results were given in extreme tense competition - as only 30 band members from each band could enter the hall to receive the results first hand, most of the J2s were given that chance. Hence most of us sat downstairs and made calls to those inside and put them on loudspeakers. For us, it was a rollercoaster, being the first band to receive this award, it went like this "Band No. 9 - Victoria Junior College, GOLD...(silence which seemed like eternity).... with Honours!" I swear all of us went madd. jumping and freaking out girls and the boys who went crazy too. i think its more emotional to see boys crying than girls because girls do it all the time. then people started hugging like crazy, inter-school as well, it was double joy for me as well because best-friend-band ACJC got honours as well! hugged the people there and all of us were celebrating like there was no end.:) our band did almost all the cheers ever and sang the victorian anthem twice!

the EXCO treated all of us to Ben and Jerry's at Suntec! and 17 of us J1s headed to Marina Square to watch Spiderman 3! and it was at that fateful theatre where I sprained my ankle! its really bad now but i really dont want to go to the sinseh to crack it back. hope it heals in time for Majestia!

anyway, im really proud of us for getting Gold with Honours and being top 3 bands along ACJC and SAJC.:) 3 cheers for VJCSB!:))
