And the results for SYF Display Band Competition. Band number 2, Tanjong Katong Secondary School, Gold With Honours.

Everything happened so fast. But it will forever be etched in my heart. The whole 8 minutes, TK BAND has put up a very excellent show. I'm really proud of the whole band. Our show was indeed sizzling hot even though we only did it in like 4 months. Yeah, and I must say that the Sec 1s did a very good job. No, everyone did a good job.

Even though Deyi Band won it this year, they're not going to hold that title for long. TK Band would be back stronger than ever in 2010. Maybe another revoluton would happen. Only time will tell. But for sure, even though I have graduated by then, I will still support the TK Band no matter what. After all, TK Band have been part of me ever since I step into secondary school. So yeah, we'll grab the Best Display Band and Best Durm Major award in 2010.

After the result was announced, I could feel my whole body numb. I didn't know what was my reaction. I just couldn't store the fact in my mind. Everyone around me was shedding tears. Beside me Mardhiah, behind me Firza. After Team TK came to the block in the field, then I started shedding tears. I could see that Team TK and the alumi was disappointed about the result, but somehow, they're really, REALLY proud of the TK Band. I just couldn't look at them in the eyes, cause, we have really dissapointed them, all their hard work, planning for the magnificant display. I really take my hat off to them. Team TK, thank you for all the things you have done for us!

I was really touched by the endless support given by the school. After the result we moved to below the gallery to do our final show for the school. What really touched me was, the whole school came from their original place to where we are standing. And they keep cheering us on. I couldn't help it but to shed tears. At that point in time, Mdm Nora came to me ans asked me not to cry infront of the school. The last run through at the Grand Old Lady was simply magnificant. Even though we already knew the results, we still did our best for that final run through. The way how we kept our fabric fan even though we were shedding tears. What really touched me the most was, some people who I thought didn't give a damn about TK Band was cheering us on and also shedidng tears together with us. This really showed me the TK spirit that I didn't see 2 years ago when we were victorious. Like what Mr lee said, the spirit of the school only shows at the worst times.

Deyi band may got the star that we wanted, but we are the real stars. Stars will always be shining in the sky. It all depends on the sky if it's gloomy or bright. For TK Band, this year the sky was gloomy. But 2010 our stars will shine bright and forever will be bright.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have supported us throughtout the whole show and preparations to the show. Mr Azlan, Mr Sumitra, Team TK, Alumni, Teachers, Sars, Parents, TKsian and last but not least, everyone in the TK Band!!! I'm so proud to be a TK Band Member.
