Band exchange

Exchange for AHBand today with crescent girls, fairfield methodist, bartley and balestier hill. I think AHband did much better than they usually did and though to me, we sounded (in terms of band sound at least) the worst off of Mrs. Chua'a bands, we could have potentially been much worse off. However, given that the bands present are not known to be very outstanding, i still feel it is not an accurate preview to the standard expected this year.

So AHBandits, you've gotta pull up your socks eh!
Truth be told, no one can sound as unprepared as the 2003 SYF. Looking back, we had less direction, drive and a clue on wth is going on. I think we probably practiced the least too! even hearing the recording of SYF 03, i realised our sound back then wasn't fantastic. Maybe that's why i've always been trying to put in the effort for other batches so they won't ever make the same mistake and hafta feel the same hurt we did.

The amazing thing abt AHBand really is the bond you feel. No matter how far you go and how much you change, i think many alumni can safely still say they miss AHBand days. Because, no matter the sadness, the politics or sian-ness of going through pieces again and again, its the bond with others that really pulls us tgt and seperates us from other bands. Maybe that's also our downfall as we end up alot less professional, but what the heck man!
Also, I think i would have been going down AHBand a lot less if the people there now do not add good memories to my already very fulfilling AHBand memories.

Cheers.
