Hi Bandsmen,

Hope you guys did well for your EOYE, we shall stop with everything and start to gear up for next year's SYF - yes, 2011 Singapore Youth Festival. GOLD. I want it, Shaid wants it, the whole band wants it, let's don't disappoint our faithful seniors that have been with us and stepped down not long ago, they contributed alot to the band, I'm sure, unless you're heartless :|, really sense the hard work that our dearest seniors have put in us - the whole band and want to make them proud.
