Ihe arduous journey that the Band had been through too soon carne to a close for the J2s as the date for the lnvestrture drew closer. The J i s put in much effort in organizing the fareweil ceremony for the J2s. The bestowals of responsibilities and leadership roles on the J1s markec the end of the J2s' journey in the Band. With the handing over of the ieadership roles, the J 1s had big shoes to fill as they embarked on a ne\\
journey to bring the Band to greater heights and to soar musically.

Though the path to success is never easy, the dedication of the Band and their conductor to music-making should lead t0 greater success. 6 lanuary
