End of an era

Well, after 3 and a half years of band, I'm finally out. The past 3 years have been.. unforgettable. Some of the bad moments:

Torturous drills in Sec 1
Getting screwed by Jermyn's batch in Sec 2
Screwing up Play 05
Not going for the Japan trip
Barely scraping a Gold for NBC

And of course, the good moments:

Performing up front in Prometheum X
All the busking sessions along Orchard Road
Gold With Honours!
Playing well for Unisono
Performing at the Esplanade in myRIad
Barely scraping a Gold for NBC
Best concert of my life - Prometheum XI
Everything else

Well, all things must eventually end. It's going to be difficult for me to adjust to this new life, but I'll manage. I have to say that the band has been a major part of my life all this while. In Sec 1, it was merely a place to go to to get tortured by RDs. In Sec 2, it was a refuge from my troubles in class. In Sec 3, it was both a source of great joy and of frustration. In Sec 4, it became our band, our batch's band. Did we do well? I think we did. Not as good as we would have liked, but still alright.
