[2011]

Actual Date of Online Entry: (Monday 20th September, 2021)

Dear Diary,

    Today I found an old sheet of paper of music that was in my possession since my Form one days in the Youth Group when aunty Carol who conducted the choir came to teach us the choral benediction for the church services called “Go Now In Peace.” At the time the group for pan payers were not very big again. I knew it was somewhere around but after a while, I got to learn it by heart and then I also made over a new score from the Musescore program on the computer.

[FORM 1 - TERM 2]

 Dear Diary,

    Today at the end of enjoying a double period of music class, I rushed up to the table Ms. Saunders was sitting by to hand her my letter before she could leave to go to the staffroom. I met her in time and she took the letter. As I gave it to her, she read it from the small brown package envelope and she told me "okay". The letter was basically about asking permission to join the Steel Ensemble at school every Tuesday and Thursday.

(Update)

    At the time of joining the ensemble, I believe the previous ensemble members were gone and only a few of us from Form One were there. Throughout the entire stay, it was only us in the year that had continued service to the school. Only three in our year group came and left. The rest were to stay until the end of Form Five and those in Form Six remained. In truth, it was wonderful to be the tenor pan section leader for those five years in my stay at Hillview College.
