I guess now is the best time to pen down what I felt about investiture, while it is still fresh in our minds.
That day was one of the very few days where we were at our best.Not in terms of playing, of course, but in terms of the way our batch did stuff. Just see the way we moved the percussion. There was no arguing, no reluctance to move the instruments (at least from what I saw), those people who would usually make trouble or stir up feelings were helping out...... It seemed as if our batch was showing the true bondage we had achieved over the years. Can we have this attitude for the rest of our time in RIMB?
From talking to some seniors or reading their blogs, you should know that most of their comments about investiture centered upon words like "unimportant" and "insignificant", but I beg to differ. In my opinion, how significant something is depends on how you want it to be. The simple action of a child playing the piano (even badly) might seem like nothing to someone who does not care yet seem like the world's proudest moment in a father's eye. No matter the circumstances, the importance of something really only depends on how important you want it to be. Investiture was one of the most important things to me. What about you?
Investiture marked the closure of the 07-08 year and the start of the 08-09 year. Let us go through the year with passion, diligence cooperation to make oursleves proud by our achievements.
On a side note, look at our batch piece, Wham, which we will be playing for REACT.
After listening to it again,, see if you were regularly looking at the conductor (me), especially during the parts where you were out the most. Since there will be a lot of people at REACT, the messiness will be multiplied unless you set a good example to everyone else. Hopefully, you guys will know to make the neccessary change. So here's to a successful first event of RIMB '09
