Appassionata is in less than 24 hours as I post this. Just want y'all to know that I'm really proud of how far we've come, as a section, as a band... And I'm really proud of each and every one of us.
We've worked so hard; we've shed blood, sweat and tears over this, and I'm really proud to be in the Horns section, and in NYCB!
It's my first and last actual Appa, and I know it'll be such a great one. We'll wow the audience, and we'll show them what NYCB really is, Nothing You Can Beat.
APPA is, A Passion 'Perseus'-ting always; so my dear hornies, let your passion shine through, let it touch every single one out there in the 100% full concert hall. Let not one soul go, unmoved.
Why? Because the basis that NYCB is built on, is passion.
In us, we are the music while the music lasts. The pride, the passion and the perseverance of a performer will arise in us, as we stand on stage, listening to the words:
"Now, we present to you... Nanyang Concert Band!"
Imagine the immeasurable pride you will feel. I'm proud to be a NYCB member, I'm proud to be of this wonderful section, and of my batch too. We can, we must, and we WILL do our best, to do our seniors, conductors, tutors, teachers and everyone proud!
Treasure every single second you have on stage, because the pride and the glory you feel will be so magical, that only Appa can ever give you back this sensation.
So, take care, rest well today and tomorrow, and we'll be there on Monday to blow the audience away! Love you all so much <3
Love, Shark.
The passion lives on. ♥, horns. :D
