Hi everyone, Joseph here. (gonna post something rly formal. have to practice my eng anywaez)

Little people has posted recently so I shall post, since I have time on my hands anyways.

A gold may be an achievement to all of us and I believe that the practice you have put in is not a decision that you have regretted. But the standard is still at the tip of the iceberg. You have much potential in each and every one of you; if you could tap into that potential yourself you wouldn't need instructors, do you?

In all my years in band(and I have been in band since p1 till now), instructors always guide us when we are heading towards the wrong direction. Not for themselves, not for their pay but for each and every one of you. If they do not care, why character building and not just practicing the whole time? Your sucess may not lie as a musical player when you grow up, but the character that is forged in the band will lead you to your own success, whatever your path may be.

I would like to congratulate you guys for a gold, but there is still a lot of potential that you can realize it by listening to instructors first. It has been a long time, the last time we had a gold, if I'm not wrong, was in 2000(which we got a consecutive silver, similar to a gold). If you take instructors for granted or don't listen to them, the next success may come in a long time too.
