Hey band,

It's exactly 7 more days to Sydney! Let's all do our best for the remaining 2 more practices left and make full use of it. We've all gone through the intensive band camp, plus many practices, and it's just the final journey left to walk together. It has been a great experience coming such a loooong way, and I'm sure it hasn't been an easy one for some of you, those who wanted to give up but didn't and persevered on. I'm really proud of the juniors who have come a long way, practicing hard for Fantasia, and now for Sydney, and all the effort that all of us have put in in making the competition pieces sound much better from before.

I think there's enough of all the nagging and reminders already about practicing, but I just want to say, let's go all out for the Sydney trip! And let's play music that allows the audience to feel the passion that we have! :D We can do it!
