Graduation Ceremony 2015 


         On the 23rd of October, graduation ceremony 2015 was held for Form 5 and Upper 6 students as a celebration  for their excellent achievement as well as an end for their middle school days in Chung Ling Butterworth. According to the tradition every year, Chung Ling Butterworth Wind Orchestra will be performing for the ceremony and this is also the last performance for our form 5 and upper 6 seniors. We performed Mayday Medley for the ceremony , consist of 倔强, 知足, 温柔, 恋爱ing in the medley. 

            23rd of October is a day to reflect on the success of all the seniors, persevering through one of the most challenging experiences of their lives. I bet all the seniors will be feeling a great range of emotions,relief that you've made it , pride in your abilities and perhaps also a sense of excitement, trepidation and expectation as you think ahead to the next leg of your journey and what adventures and opportunities that will bring. I'm here, sincerely wishing good luck to seniors for their future.

          Since the day we join Chung Ling Butterworth Wind Orchestra, we've been taught by the seniors and we've been band mates together since then. Somehow i'm sure all the juniors will be cherishing all the moments of joy we've been sharing together with seniors , securing it as a part of memories that will not be forgotten easily. Thanks for your kindness and forgiveness, we definitely appreciated that. 
    
       After this day it means separation, we are surely unwilling about it, but we've created special bonds between band mates and all of us will be remembering and treasuring it. Hope you guys found your passion in doing something and be successful. All the Best! ONE BAND ONE SOUND!

         After waiting for around 2 hours, the event had finally started. Everyone was full of spirit, wanting to earn a good achievement after few weeks of drudgery training. Every member who participated in this Merdeka Parade were persistent to do their best so that the weeks of training for the parade were not wasted.  During the parade, the determined hearts had made each and every one of us to be more energized. Shoutout to all the seniors who supported us there when we needed them, a very big thank you to our drum major, who worked very hard to train us, in hope for our great performance. Thanks to our teachers for encouraging us. 

         After weeks of waiting, the hair raising moment had finally arrived. Congratulations to St. Xavier's Institution Marching Band and Jit Sin High School for getting champion and 1st runner up. We were informed that we got 2ND RUNNER UP for the competition. Our hard work had finally paid off ! This was not the best performance we did but we will be working harder to improve our level of performance.
