No matter how far we've gone so far, we still have a long way to go. As we've been reminded countless times of various suggestions to improve ourselves for the competition to come, none of us have ever noticed the true key to success. All this time, we've been looking at how we have to handle our equipment, how we have to behave during parades and what materialistic things we have to prepare as keys to success, yet we've never noticed the truth beneath it all.

There is a time for sorrow, and a time for joy. There is a time for tears, and a time for laughter. There is a time for play, and there is a time for work. And in all the countless endeavours we have in our...eventful lives at school, we must find the courage to do our best in all of them: To work hard and to play hard. And how do we do just that?

I've had many friends who've come up to me and asked the path to success, I'm sure many have gone to you as well. I've never really answered them, as I've never really found out the true answer to their question. At a time of peril and a time of need, I've found the answer.

The key to our success is not charging each other for not putting pencils on our stands. The key to our success does not lie with bringing home our files day by day, hoping it looks convincing enough to prove self-practice. The key to success does not even lie on coming down to the bandroom every day, or practicing every day, or living the band every day. The path to success lies in one thing and one thing only: Discipline.

Discipline makes you attend the sectionals your heart tells you you can afford to miss. Discipline makes you practice when you have only just enough time to play your computer games. Discipline makes you put your pencils on your stands without being told, makes you look at Mr Tan when you must, makes you what you are--A Bandsman.

Want to get that gold at the end of the rainbow? Get the discipline to run there first.
