Inter-SBP Wind Orchestra 2009

My school is now in process in selecting the students (involved) to represent the school (MOZAC) for the coming Inter-SBP Wind Orchestra 2009.

For the marching band (held specially to celebrate the National Day), it will not be held for next year because the fasting month for the Muslims is predicted to be on August 2009 and it is the same thing for the next two years as the Hari Raya Aidilfitri is predicted to be on the month.

I'm now in 'process' to be in the list to join the Wind Orchestra (2009).
Pray for me!
