Here's the photo of us (im not inside since im like- the photographer) today. I just want to say I'm really proud of all of you and all the hard work that we've put in. If you compare us now, with our Ding Dong Merrily On High Days, we've definitely improved a lot!
In lieu of SYF, i just want to add in (along with what the others have already mentioned) that at the competition, although we may often joke about who we want to beat, but ultimately, i think our greatest enemy is ourselves. On the day of SYF, the team that we should beat is TPGE. As long as we know we've tried our best to achieve what we started out for, nothing else matters. Even if we fall short of what we've hoped to achieve, at least we know we put in our very best.
Nerves are a crazy thing. Today we experienced how different we perform before and after that 10 mins in the tuning room. Find some methods to keep your fingers warm (: And also, keep your mind clear and your heart steady. Pretend that the audiences are in their underwear- Or better still, pretend they're not there. Perform like we're back in the guitar room together, joking together and working as a team. It's just you + ensemble and no one else.
These few days, rest well, drink plenty of water and get sufficient sleep. Also, don't practice too hard till you hurt your fingers. Be careful during PE lessons. These few days are crucial. Please prepare yourselves mentally.
remember that in the end, we only have ourselves to answer to. So let's try our best (:

P.S, hope you like the photo! I'll put the lousy ones up on facebook soon. (Lousy meaning all of you in your unglamarous moments)
