it's the time of the year again...

yup..
it's the time of the year again..
for the pass 8 years, i've always been a part of it..
the Annual Passing-Out Parade of SMJK Nan Hwa Band

ever since Standard 3, band has been a really big part of my life..
i would spend nearly all my time in band..
there, i had lot's of memories, the good and bad, sweet and bitter..
i remember the 1st time i was ever part of this ceremony..
that was 2001, when i was form 1..
images of the seniors marching in, salute and receiving their souvenirs and prizes..
back then, it seemed such an honour.. and it is..

every year, we'll prepare, practice, rehearse..
all for the sake of a perfect show on this day..
for graduating seniors, this will be their last performance in band uniform..
for everyone else, it is the best opportunity to improve their playing skill..
i remember practicing hard the different music pieces, the ever so challenging running notes..
oh ya.. and the 5 years that i was emcee for the night..
very very challenging.. always makes me nervous...

this year, i was no longer part of this ceremony...
well, after graduating twice..
it's quite enough..
finally, i can experience the Passing-Out Parade, as an audience..
even though i haven't spend much time with these juniors..
i wanna say, keep up the good work..
u guys really have the potential..
i'll be looking forward for your performance next year...
