Reach
by Gloria Estefan
(1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics Theme Song)


Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart

And I'll do whatever it takes
Follow through with the promise I made

Put it all on the line
What I hoped for at last would be mine


If I could reach, higher

Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life
I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I put my spirit to the test
If I could reach

Some days are meant to be remembered
Those days we rise above the stars
So I'll go the distance this time

Seeing more the higher I climb

That the more I believe

All the more that this dream will be mine

If I could reach, higher
Just for one moment touch the sky
From that one moment in my life

I'm gonna be stronger
Know that I've tried my very best
I put my spirit to the test
If I could reach
Reach


its been a torturous month.
and i really do mean a really really torturous one.

haha.
band pracs almost everyday.
it was worse den preparing for SYF when we were back in our secondary school days.
preparing the same songs every single day was just the same as eating the same lunch every single day.

but we got our moment.
twice in fact.

the first moment in NBC,
when we realised the world isnt as kind and nice as we thought.

the second moment in SIBF,
when we completely understood the meaning of a sweet victory.

this month have been soooo taxing.
my schedules were all packed up.
i was spending time with my fellow band mates longer then i was spending time with my family (not to say i spend a lot of time with them).
finally i can not see the band room for like a short while before we return again for more music making.

this band is not only about music making anymore.
its a place where friendships are born, maintained.
where jokes are made and we laugh together.

where we all find pride and fun in what ever we do because we all found what we enjoyed in life through the music.

to all myfriends.
its been a good ride!



to my section,
its had been real fun working with all of u!
though there were times of frustration, wrong notes, disturbing pitchings.
but we made it through.
and i dare to say that we were one of the few sections that didn't have any attendance problems.
haha.
its been a joy slogging thru music scores this time and i look forward to more!
=)



and to all my fellow band mates,
its been a big month, maybe even two months of preparation.
but i believe that the moment when we started screaming like mad dogs on the choir gallery made up for all disturbing things like:-

1. the meals skipped
2. the sleep missed
3. the fatigue
4. the tv shows missed.

and much more.

LOL.
we made sacrifices.
but i'm sure it was worth it!

haha...
with that,
i'm so looking forward to more projects!
