Hi everyone, YOu know what, you guys deserve the praise as you guys had been working your @#* off practising for the performances and also the concert.
By the way, I was witnessing the investiture too and can't help thinking about my experiences for the past 6 years. Yup, for the past 6 years we have been having Council members in the Angklung ensemble and every year I will have to go through a painful experience of talking to some of the councillors who voiced their interest in quitting the ensemble due to results or commitment or others. I am a firm believer of "everyone is a leader and everyone matters" thus I encourage everyone to take up leadership position and preferably within our ensemble so that you guys can carryone the good name of NJC Angklung Ensemble.
It's going to be tough next year as we prepare for the SYf and it is during that time that your true character will be tested.I only hope that I will not need to go through all the heartache and dissappointment as I talked to students that express their intention to quit for one reason or the other. For me, for every member that quit signify my failure.
for all of you, please use your JUne hols wisely and study ok.
As for the concert, I know you guys will be great so, tomorrow the tickets will be ready and do encourage your loved ones, your friends, your seniors to buy the tickets ok. I promise you it's gonna be an splendid and memorable and different concert.
Lastly,the group is only as strong as it's weakest player. So, take ownership of the responsiblity and encourage each other so that NJC Angklung will progress as ONE.
Cheers and good night!!
