By request of Alastair, here are the band camp photos. Below are 45 of the 85 good photos that were taken during camp. If you wish to have the rest of the higher-resolution photos, MSN me.

7.00 - 8.00: Before fall-in

Picture 1: Before-fall-in activities include kicking a ball around. I believe it's called soccer. Indoor soccer.

8.00: FALL IN!!!

Picture 2: Being a Sec 4 feels good. As a Sec 4, I can take photos of fall-in!

Picture 3: The very first group activity is always... bag check!

9.10 - 13.00: Sectionals + Concert

Picture 4: Jerald posing for the camera

Picture 5: Sky on Timpani

Picture 6: My fan club!! It seems they have become so obsessed with me that they decided to emulate my signature move.

Picture 7: The only decent shot of concert prac that I managed to get.

13.00 - 14.00: Lunch

All our meals were catered for us courtesy of Aunty Azah. Thank you very much Aunty Azah~!

Us Sec 4s got to share one room (unlike that Putrajaya trip, where I ended up being an outcast).

Picture 26: After a long hectic day, everyone's tired. DBMs inclusive. Look at that yawn!

Picture 27: Great minds at battle.

Picture 28: James setting up his lovely bed.

Lucas!!nice job for react..at least we managed to get thru the 7/8 without any deaths...jerald, dunt be sad k..or emo..or depressed..i dunt think tt being that will help the other batches put more faith in our abilities...REACT was basically not too bad...at least the friendship dance that was so fail was replaced..YAYY..clap clap...no need to act gay anymore...the next big event for us will be Prometheum..like investiture and REACT, please suggest as many nice/emo/pop/happy/high songs as possible to Russell so that we can play different songs for prometheum, other than the normal songs, e.g. Carmen, Carnival, Bandwagon, Whistle...so ya...search for nice songs and suggest them so that the LD can find/borrow/buy/steal the scores..lol...then NBC...2nd for us...dunt think anyone of you guys have forgotten that moment in Victoria that day...try to banish it with a nicer memory...in any case, its back to reality for us...we are the new leaders, lets try something new and make the band better..GO!!!JIAYOU!!

ok so maybe REACT wasn't as fun because of the stupid rain =(, but whatever it is, good job lucas!

and i really wanna thank you all for being so so so supportive and handling stuff in the morning, couldn't have done it without you all (abit obvious lol). the vibes crisis is quite emo to me since its one of our babies, but ok lesson learnt don't ever ever roll stuff on that kind of floor.

well i guess we got a few more stuff to sort out before we can start on prometheum! go rimb'08!

08 posts for the '08 blog! (This post was meant to be a revival.)

Anyway we have our investiture pieces, they won't be easy. We need to put in much more effort. Sec 4s are leaving soon, we're taking over the band in terms of leadership and technical aspects. Big, big task ahead. Interviews are starting next week, and investiture is really not far ahead.

Are we all prepared?

--Ben =)
