Lost with pride

Recently, SDAR Symphonic Band won the 1st runner up in the Festival Wind Orchestra SBP & Cluster School 2009, yet the boys weren't happy not that they not thankful, but sad because they really work hard and wanted to win so badly. I cried that we lost to TKC (Tunku Kurshiah College)with the repertoire ' Disney Festival'.

In the competition, SDAR Symphonic Band played a repertoire by Franco Cesarini, 'Bulgarian Dances Op. 35'. I would say the 'Bulgarian Dances' is harder than Disney Festival with the time signature of 7/8, 5/11, but the luck wasn't SDAR's. On top of that, Syahmi Izzat,who was expected to be the best conductor also lost to TKC's conductor, Hamizah.

fivers

I was touched that, when i read my sensei's blog about how sad was the fivers, tears drop down my cheek. How sincere the fivers are. They really wanted to win to let the juniors feel the feeling of a winner. To fulfil the dream of the exboy whose been waiting to win the trophy so badly years after years. How they really wanted to win to make he school proud of them and be visible to eyes of the school admin and wanted to be respected in school.

before the show starts

All i can say to the juniors, if you guys are reading this, be strong. We can prove that SDAR Symphonic Band will win the trophy once upon a time. I promise that you guys will do your best and keep up he good work so that we will be the winner next year. Once we fail, we will keep on trying and that's what SDARians do. This is just the beginning of your journey and to all fivers, work hard in your academic as well and don't forget to come to SDAR once you are exboy.

during the performance

Special thanks to all exboy who came to give the morale support and helped direc

tly or indirectly in term of funds, time consumption and energy in order to give the full support to the band. Hopefully, in the upcoming years, there will be more supporter from exboy and we can establish our exboy band to help them.

on the stage

Last but not least, to our beloved instructor, Raja Muzafar (Abg Raja) for the hard work of teaching the SDAR Symphonic Band and make them in the track again after a drastic defeat last year. You are the hero for the band and all the hard work you've done, there's nothing worth to compare with. You energy, time and money and all whatever you did for the band, we really appreciate it and you'll be the instructor forever. I won't let you go whatever it is, because Kotok and i work really hard to make you teach SDAR.

A Tribute to SDAR Symphonic Wind

Festival Wind Orchestra is just around the corner and this year i'm not in Malaysia to join them like previous year. This is sad for be since my batchmates are available to be there for them. So do the juniors will be there too.

I'm here just have to pray hard for them and wishing them good luck. May the happy returns to SDAR. SDAR Wind Orchestra was once among the best SBP Wind Orchestra teams. LAst year was a bad year that SDAR wasn't in the top 5 finalists, but i believe this year under instruction of Raja Muzafar and helped by Alumnis and teachers, SDAR Wind Orchestra will be among the top school back and they'll make it thru the final.

This year they are new and fresh players and played 2 repertoire by Franco Cesarini and Suhaimi Yaacub. I believe the combination of this 2 pieces can bring them strength and build up there confident to go through it. Provided that many Alumnis will be joining them giving the morale support to them and hoping the best for them.

This year was different from previous year because this year, Kotok 98'2 managed to gather as many alumni as he could to join them helping out the band to makesure our victory will be back and tremendous achievement will be brought back to SDAR. I wish them all the best and i'll pray hard for them to be in the final and managed to get place later on. May Allah bless SDAR Symphonic Band.

All the best and good luck to all of SC.

They perform in front of the international jury and the participants from through out the world. They need all these kind of performance in order to gain their experience and want to show Malaysian that they can bring it to the higher grade and internationally.
