TO our DEAR JC2s

For the current JC2 seniors, here are some words by Mr Wong:

"To my dearest JC2's of 2009

It seemed like yesterday when I first met some of you during DSA auditions. You still looked very pure and innocent. Time will prove that looks are deceiving ;)

Our first and major mission was the 2nd NBC in July 2008. You worked your hearts out and brought MJCSB to greater heights (not forgetting our alumni), and went through "Hell month" of July 2008. Every Sunday was for the band (actually, almost every day), for NBC, for honour bands, for botanical gardens band fiesta.... and for your good friends from Meiden High School.

What a way to end the month.

You received your counterparts with so much warmth and kindness that it just seemed like you had been friends since the beginning of time; and when it was time to split, we knew it was only for a while. The two bands will come together again in December, for Meiden.Meridian.Moichido! Part 3. The exchange bridged the ties between bandsmen of different languages, but of the same passion in making music. Up till now I still have COSMOS ringing in my head every now and then.

The band came closer than ever in Japan. Remember the daily walk was long and cold but we never felt tired. Then there was me scolding you to stop cam-whoring and keep in line; Ms Ong screaming at you to stick to bath timings; Ms Tan chasing you for money; and Ms Gan always ready to lend a hand.We had learnt so much from our friends in Meiden. We learnt to appreciate and be thankful for what we are given.

And compassion.

You cheered for your fellow bandsmen who were down. You hugged them. You cried with them. If there is ever one thing I can be proud of, this is it.

One of you asked me if I am proud of our band. This is what I have to say.
In one of my favorite shows, "Band of Brothers", a war veteran spoke of a conversation with his grandson.
"Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?"
"No," replied grandpa.
"But I served in a company of heroes."

My dearest JC2's of 2009, it has been my honour to have served you.

Thank you, and all the best for your 'A' levels!

Mr Wong"


And from the JC1s, We would like to wish u all the best for ALEVELS!! STUDY HARD!! =)
