i'm pondering should i pour the comments from my friend and her friends who are from NHHS Choir the fact that they may not sound very nice at the moment the fact that she hasnt gave me the good points but as she said on the whole it was okay..
there was comments that the for the You Raise Me Up that the boys looked blur.. and was clipping, kinda agree...
that the sop 1's wasnt really very clear, kinda strainning, according to them.. Puttin on the Ritz 1st note went flat i think i was one of them who went flat =X
they also commented that the combine songs like any how sing i have to back that up that i was rather boring for us la right? so kinda no energy... so she said it was also kinda airy, got voices sticking out maybe from those trying to fight against the CO like me.. some mouth not open which i'm not sure who or which section i hope your know who your are, but i dun think its from the seniors la...
Some good points i received so far as i have not ask further was that the "Part of Your World" was pretty nice... the Alumni item was not bad too
guess in the end i still pour them out dun feel down as they are rather tiny winy mistakes so believe on the whole we still peformed very well insisting that there would not be anymore bad points... this meant that there are many other good points that's how we should look into these comments...
GOOD JOB PEOPLE! HOPE YOU HAD A ENJOYABLE PEFORMANCE!!
Yours Truly, Clarence
PS: dun think badly of these comments as they are constructive...
The last concert after our 4years have finally come, the concert which we have all slogged hard for, the different sacrifices made, even the time when we got chased out. (: "Bridging Of Melodies" This concert. we shed our sweat and tears for, no other junior would be able understand if you actually tell them how much you have sacrificed. We have cases of multiple subject failures, being unable to catch up with school work, having to skip lunch and end up having gastrics, personal time after school is lost and other stuff like that. Even how a few of us got chased out of school by the security guard and had to face a fuming mad security guard and maybe even teacher. This time round, I mentioned every committe member.[Incase Shaun complaint again -.-"] (Music Committee in Brackets)
Vice-Chairman (Soprano Head SL) ShunYu: Thank You for being there for me no matter what happens, and always being so willing to lend me a listening ear to all my complaints or even cries when I really needed someone to be there for me! Thank You for being such a great angel to the whole choir; always being so ready for all of them, so that I could concentrate on all that I am doing! Thank You Angel ShunYu (Xiao Tian Shi)!
Vice-Chairman (Soprano SL) Cecilia: Ceci! After step-down, must JiaYou in studies hor. Thank You for always giving me a helping hand when I have too many things on hand to handle with. Thank you for always taking the initiative to help me call up the different members and constantly updating me on how they have been doing so that I can have more time with all the administrative stuff and more. Also for not rejecting the different paper work which I would like you to do. Thank You Angel Cecilia!
Logistic Head (Soprano SL) WenQi: Hey you, always collect key de person! Hahas. Well, I really have to thank you for your cooperation in collecting the keys, conductress's log file and sometimes you even need to lug your heavy bag with scores, radio and even the keyboard. Even though I had to often remind you to inform me when you are going to have lessons, I am glad much improvements were shown this year and you will text me the day before and even getting other people to fetch the keys for you. Thank You for being responsible in your duties!
Treasurer/Secretary (Bass SL) Shaun: Eih, you hardly do anything one hor? =P Sighes, thank you for always being prepared to be called up to collect keys and scores when it is not your job, and also to the extend of informing me earlier without me having to text you. Thank You for providing me your precious ink and paper, always printing stuff for me! Thank You for availing yourself whenever I need help.
Librarian (Bass Head SL) ZhengYang: (Background Information: This is his second year being in the Choir Committe le!) Hey, thank you for guiding me through the ropes into becoming the leader of Choir and always helping me and guiding me with your experience as a second year committee member! You have helped me escape many 'scolding' sessions from different people and taught me many important things and hepled me get on track with the admin matters. Thank You!
Assistant Librarian QiaoWen: Wow! I Thank You for being in the committee man! Sighes. Thank You being so responsible that I can simply rely and depend on you for things to be done! I sometimes even feel I am relying too much on you! You are one person who is very disciplined and get things done by my deadlines! These are plus points which you should work on! You are often able to give me view-points of different people which often bring me into deeper thoughts! Thanks You for bring for you are!
Costume I-C YingQi: Hey YingQi, thank you for being so devoted to choir and being so willing to sacrifice for choir all the time! Especially as concert and metamorphosis arrives, you get all busy with all the costume and such. Your next year will be to guide the Sec3s and also be a role model for them! Thank You for being so devoted!
(Chief-Pianist, Alto SL) HuiShan: Eih, you arh. 2.5years of your unserious moments were stopped all beacuse you got this position. Hahax! Well, thank you for always being so understanding that I have other works myself and you are always able to be so efficient in getting things done. Thank You for taking your own personal time to practise the songs to aid in a smoother practise the next time round. Well,thank you for injecting fun into my 11months of service!
Sec5s: Hey thank you for your precious advices to help me in leading this huge(50 people quite huge already lah) group of people into where they are today. You guys speak from experiences and from your experiences, I can learn many things. Without your guidance, I would have been very lost. Like a lost sheep looking for its shephard. Thank You!
We've all sacrificed, we've all slogged our way out. The time has come to take a look at the fruits our efforts have bear!
Others: Please do make this a memorable one for your leaders! How much they have paid and put in is beyond what you can imagine. You will experience the same thing too, either a month from now, a year or two years from now. Make this a memorable one for them, like how you want your last performace to be like. Thank You!
Once Again Melina, Alto SL Chairman serving 2007-2008
[All choir members please take note, the school gate will only open at 9.30am, please do not come any earlier than that.( If you do please don't be "kan-chiong" and give me tons of missed calls ) NAFA has powerful air-conditioners, you may want to bring a windbreaker there but please be responsible for it.(if lost not my problem)
before i go on to the main purpose of me coming to post i would like to say that (again) that i soo agree with what maria said. i believe i have talked to some one about it before
anw, back to the main purpose of me posting... after hearing what ms seah and ms yee had said during the last session like she said, was our presentation and i kinda feel that it may be how we had present the song
i believe most of us, are not swaying yet, (including me =X) which is rather not so acceptable for those, like me, have went for SYF last year.. its only right for us to keep such habits on and not just because ms yee, didn't say it or that SYF is over, we should forget about it i'm sure deep down, your do agree with me that is if your reading this. so PLEASE do tell the sec1's and others who did not participate in last year's SYF that they need to sway APPROPRIATELY with the song...
then i believe another view that our presentation is not up to standard yet, might be our interpretation of the song and that would be how we present the feelings in the song the purpose of the song (History/SS), the content (History/SS), and finally the tone of the song (again HY/SS). so do take some time to feel the song and dun just know it but put in those feelings in to it when you sing hopefully, this would hmmm maybe surprise ms yee, and make her think, "hmmm, BBSS choir is very automatic, know what to do without me telling them again..."
and lastly, i think there's hardly anyone up here and i'm not really happy about it as it denies the existence of the blog and destroys the purpose of having this blog thus i would put up a web counter if the numbers on the web counter does not meet my so called target than i might as well delete the blog for me, i have the blog as one of my tabs on the home page and that it means that i visit the blog everyday, and i would request that your would take at least some time to see if there's any update
and lastly, the purpose of the blog was to provide the members with information fresh from the oven and that parts of the songs we sing are also uploaded on the net and linked on the post if not, there might be videos that might be posted up here with regard to choir and do take note, PLEASE, is there any sec 2's or 1's interested in taking charge of the blog?! if not either way, the blog would still have to be deleted after my batch is gone so please step up and try it out...
Hello guys! :D Well, I am going to mention quite a sensitive post here. Wonder who will read it actually :P Actually, it goes out to all the current sec3s! I was just looking at some of my GB junior's blog and those who didnt get a post or whatever, they were so, so disappointed.
I just hope this selection of future leaders thingy won't make people upset or even create a conflict among the choir. Ok, dont ask me who are the future leaders too, becasue I have totally no clue about it. LOL.
Hmmm, soooo, I just wanna say that even if any of you didnt get a post, I really really hope to still see you serve choir as a big korkor or jiejie to your juniors, and help this growing(in size) choir to the best of your gifts and abilities :)
Well, that is my last wish before I really move on and not always come to see see you all practising, or help help in any concert :)
Please take note that coming Thursday's training is cancelled as majority of the Sec1s and Sec2s are involved in the NDP Rehearsal. However, there will be training on Saturday. Members who have yet to get their Court Shoes or Leather Shoes checked or approved, please do so asap. Thank You.
