All JC2 SLs, pls be responsible for your own section at ALL times, esp in the Esplanade Concert Hall cos there would be 3 bands and we would want to minimise chaos. Pls make sure your section mates don't go roaming around and just stay in your allocated rooms/areas. We really appreciate your cooperation in this. at 1:15 PM Sunday, February 21, 2010 7 days to 1st rehearsal, 34 days to concert. Those who had performed in the "One Family, One Flag" concert of 2006 would remember the pride they had, on the stage of Esplande Concert Hall. The hearts of the Saints in the SA family beat as one, on that memorable night. The memories of that concert will always remain in the hearts of those who played with their juniors, their alumni. 4 years later, the 2nd series of "One Family, One Flag" is launched. It is worrying to see pple not working hard enough for the concert, though many said that everything would just be ok on the concert day. Time is running out. We have expectations to meet. Our own expectations. Would we be able to come together as one and make 28th March a memorable night for everyone? When we play on the stage of Esplanade, who are we dedicating the pieces to? To our batch mates who had been thru thick n thin? To our juniors who have joined us and will continue with the legacy of this band? It is a honour, not a given, to be able to perform in Esplanade. It is a fortune to perform with the bands of the SA family. Very few bands in Singapore are able to have a family concert like us. Let's make 28th March a SA night, a night which everyone will remember fondly in years to come, a night which ends our band journey on a beautiful musical note. at 10:41 PM ONE FAMILY ONE FLAG!
