SYF'S OVER. Even though we finally have the time to rest, but we all have our lessons to learn from today.
Let this SYF be an important learning point, do not just forget and get over it. Surely all of us made errors, but do not diss them as one-time errors or nervousness. Our musical journey does not end at SYF so please do continue to improve our playing as a band. So let's all have a change of mindset, instead of being too disappointed with our playing today, we should be motivated to ascend to even greater heights as a band. Most of all, everytime you play your passion has to be poured into it and enjoy the music we make.
Let's accept the silver we have been awarded with as professional musicians humbly. Have a good break and be prepared to work even harder for a successful Inspiration II! =)

Everyone, i think we did very well today, the music was great and you all were really feeling the music, all the passion, all the determination, it could all be felt in the music, so don't be disappointed or blame yourself, i'm sure we just missed it by a bit and its cause of a few minor mistakes. Our band made the music come to life, and you all enjoyed yourself playing, that is the most important, and to me, that makes us the best band ever regardless of whatever we got!
