Hey, syafiqah here :) As you know, this year is coming to an end and the upcoming year is gona be a new chapter. A new beginning with new sec1 members. Wohoo! But I expect everybody to make a GREAT IMPROVEMENT in your singing if you wana get Gold for the next SYF. GOT IT! Even if next year isn’t the SYF year, we still have to be serious in reaching our goals. Next Friday is an important day because we’ll be promoting choir to the new batch of sec1s. Besides that, if you have classmates who doesn’t have any CCA, try to get them to join choir. I understand that it’s a difficult task but let’s just do our best in recruiting more people, okay. Ohya, remember that this afternooon we had an audition... Well don't be too disappointed with the scores you get. It doesn't matter if you're in the junior or in the senior choir... What matters more is that we are one. One Voice, One Family!

Things to take note:

1) Dynamics

2) Vowels

3) Use diaphragm

4) Raise cheekbones and eyebrows

5) Shoulders rolled back

6) Legs shoulder width apart and one leg in front

7) Hands by the side and DONT FIDGET

8) Always think of your notes

These are the usual things that the commitee and myself have reminded you over and over again. So please drill this into your head if not you'll get smack by me. HARD. haha! joking :) Next friday i want you all to be at your fullest and rara the crowd.

Hello choir! Before you do anything, scroll down and read the previous post by Jozzzzie. :) I'm being an extra idiot and posting this because i have decided that it is important. Yes, the concert is over. And now, HONGKONG. Those who are going, please start packing now. Why? So that in case you realized you have something missing or whatever, theres still time to salvage the situation. Wash your gowns and yellow dresses. We're bringing it all. I know the packing list is really confusing. So here's what we really need. I hope this helps.

Now, it wouldn't hurt bringing your yellow dress and black gowns, so pack it up into your luggage. Also, DON'T FORGET YOUR HEELS. Put it nicely in a bag/box and into your luggage now. Remember to fill in the yellow paper and put it onto your luggage to save time at the airport. Tie the orange ribbon for easy recognition as well. REMEMBER YOUR BLUE BOOKLET. Don't put that into your luggage. Leave it in your carry-on bag as you might need it while you have no access to your luggage. Also, please remember, no sharp items in your carry-on bags and NO LIQUID. Don't worry about ironing board and irons because all hotels have that. However when you iron, don't iron right on the dress. Put a cloth over and iron it otherwise yeah. It will burn -_-

Moving on to own clothing. Bring about 2 JACKETS. Jackets are not cardigans or whatever. You need jackets to keep you WARM. Its cold in Hongkong and you need to keep warm. About 2 is enough, don't bring too many. Its mad. You can bring scarves if you want, to protect your little neck. Gloves and earmuffs are not needed so chill. We'll be there for 4 days or so, so bring 3/4 pairs of socks. As for shoes, other than your heels, just bring a pair of sneakers or whatever. Something that COVERS YOUR ENTIRE FEET. You don't need many of those. Just one pair will do. Bring 2 pairs of jeans, one will do fine too. Don't forget your blue long sleeved hongkong tee, and bring another 2 to 3 T-shirts, either PE or choir tee will do fine. The quantity is not stated on the packing list so follow this. I don't think you'll go wrong. Undergarments, bring 4. As for girls, some of you might be unlucky enough to get your thing at hongkong, so don't forget your pads, bring extra panties in case it leaks. Bring clothes to wear in the hotel, don't wear skimpy little lingeries unless you want to freeze to death, bring long pants and long sleeved shirts. (Amount : up to you.)  That should cover clothing. bring another 2 or 3 long sleeved clothing as well. *Another thing ,don't forget your smart casual attire for the Gala Dinner !

Moving on to toiletries. Girls, discuss with your partners who should bring soap, and who should bring shampoo to lighten your heavy loads. You can share right? Face cream, conditioner etc. Toothpaste can be shared too, but please don't share toothbrushes. Those who use contact lenses, remember your contact lens casing and solution. DON'T PUT YOUR SOLUTION INTO YOUR CARRY-ON BAG. Which means you probably shouldn't wear it to the airport as you would not be able to take it off during the flight. Do bring your spectacles as well. Bring plasters, medication if you know you will get nauseous whatsoever, because no one is allowed to give you medicine. When you see your friend in need of medical attention, don't give them your medicine. Tell a teacher immediately. Bring elastic bands to tie your hair, and hairclips ok. They get lost easily so bring more. Put some hard sweets (those that cannot be chewed) as the pressure during the flight is very disturbing to your ears and sucking on a sweet will help soothe the uncomfortable-ness. Those who hadn't sat on planes before should take note. Bring some stationary (in your carry-on bag) and your camera or handphones. But keep all of those OFF during the flight. It would be dangerous if we experience turbulence during the flight, so be considerate. Btw carry-on bag is the so called haversack. But just bring a backpack or something. Because haversacks are those loose loose mad bags.

DON'T FORGET YOUR THERMOMETER. DON'T FORGET YOUR THERMOMETER!!!!

This should be it. Start packing now! Go wash your gowns and yellow dresses if you haven't done so. Monday is the flight already so DON'T PROCRASTINATE. DO IT NOW.

If you're wondering what to wear to the airport on Monday, well i'm not sure either. And i'm not sure if it has been mentioned. So if it has been, pardon me and do tell me. But if it hasn't been, then put on jeans and choir tee perhaps? (Grey one, planes are not cold enough for you to put on the blue one yet) so yeah.

I hope i hadn't forgotten anything. Oh boy i spent a long time doing up this post i hope its useful :X

See you on Friday. THERES CHOIR! Protect your voice and drink more water. WE'RE GOING TO HONGKONG FOR A COMPETITION! So please take care of your vocals and do practice your songs at home. SEE YOU GUYS! :D







comment now. comment now. comment now. :)

STILL, WE RISED! YAY
hello everybody, if you cant see my name down below, i'm josie. pronounced as joZie. hehe eventhough today's performance wasnt perfect, but we so darn good, we were awesome!!!! OUR WORRIES ESPECIALLY IN THE SPECIAL ITEM. WE TOTALLY ROCKED THE STAGE. how i wish i was the audience, this would de very best choir concert ever. (better than the RI one) we were FUN HIGH AND HAPPY most of all we spread our energy! SO GREAT JOB PEOPLE!

still somethings you guys NEED TO KNOW, our discipline is horrible. the teacher wanted to complain about our sch being too noisy. I HOPE THIS CAN IMPROVE AND I DONT WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPENING ESPECIALLY DURING THE HONGKONG TRIP.
 *PLAY AT THE RIGHT TIME, WHEN ITS TIME TO KEEP QUIET, WE ALL HAVE TO* this includes the com. if we're noisy, you can tell us. AND LISTEN TO US WHEN WE ARE TALKING!!!!!!!!!!! must we always 'OI' you then you guys will listen to us? hmm so work on it everybody!!

[thank you for everybody hard work and long hours of practice, it was totally worth it. and also the committee for the endless hardwork especially after and before choir. LETS ALL STRIVE TO THE VERY BEST! HONGKONG YOU'RE NEXT!!!]

COME ON EVERYBDOY! LETS ALL ROCK HONGKONG TOGETHER AND DO MR WONG PROUD OKAY!! :'(

Hi choir, its me again :) Today's combine rehearsal was SUPER HORRIBLE and your behaviour wasn't up to my expectation. Same goes with your singing. Well i think it's partially because today we sang with the other choirs so it feels kinda awkward and our discipline went down the drain. Let me remind you again! We're left with two more rehearsal! Two more rehearsal!!!!!! We can't afford to drop our standard especially at this time! We're a SILVER CHOIR!! I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO MUCH MORE BETTER THAN THIS!! Tomorrow i want you all to be better singers and don't care about what other choirs think of you, okay!?!

Things to take note: 1) Less talk, more action
                              2) When Mr Wong is talking, you do not talk!
                              3) Vowels
                              4) Facial expressions
                              5) Dynamics ( for all songs)

I guess that you all know this simple things already since you've heard them a lot of times. But i find it neccessary to keep reminding you... So i expect good behaviour and awesome performance. Ohya, another reminder, report school at 7.30!! See ya tomorrow!! :)

Hi choir , guess what ?
Todays practice was NOT GOOD . Not good at all . What happened to you guys seriously ? How can you do this when its the last practice together ? I dont understand this at all . Do you want to reach our goal or not ? You're suppose to be improving not deproving ! And your singing and discipline today was definitely unacceptable . 


Your singing today as you all know was pretty horrible . Tell me , what happened ? Did you guys even practice and try to memorise the songs ? Why choir ? Why was there a drastic deprovement at the most crucial times like this ? 


And your discipline . Back to bad . There can never be total silence whenever someone is speaking can it ? There just have to be annoying murmurings everywhere . Every single time you know . For once lah , please keep your mouth shut when someone is speaking . And do not interrupt okay . 


Please also follow instructions quickly . Dont take your own sweet time . Quickly do it and get it over and done with . 


I know today was extremely tiring and stressful . But we wouldnt need to go through this much pain if we could just practice , listen and look at the conducting right ? Because of our awful singing , we have to do sectionals tomorrow which i know we all dont want . So please sing properly tomorrow if you dont wanna stay back unnecessarily again .


How many days left to the concert ? 5 .
How many practices left ? 3 .


Not much time left you know  . We have to buck up and perfect everything by then . Time is precious people so dont waste it on stuff we already know . Dont keep repeating the same mistakes . 
Please just give it your all and really work hard towards our goal for these final laps . 


Make us proud . Make the school proud . Make the people who supported you all these while proud . Cos at the end of the day we do not want to regret anything and feel that our hard work was wasted . 
And please try your very best to sell the tickets . Mr Wong had put in soo much effort in this upcoming concert and hk and you dont wanna dissapoint him right ? He used his own money for most of the expenses leh ! Dont you feel any sympathy at all ? He's trying so hard and he doesnt really expect much back . The least we could do is to sing right .


And as for our dancing , yay we finished everything ! Now its time to perfect them . We're almost there Choir . You can do it ! Remember to sing along & smileee .


And remember no more fried food . Drink more water and take care of your health . Choir tomorrow 3pm at music room . Bring the neccessary items . see ya n_n

Hello :) I'm elena.
Just to inform you guys, We've read through the feedback! Although almost all you said the same thing, we've got the message that you guys are trying to send to us and we'll work on the feedback! To clarify some stuff,  please try to understand that although we can be strict, we can also be fun! As for the strict time-frame, i do agree that trainings are abit long, just to let you know the committee always comes one hour earlier than you guys and stay back one hour later than you guys. But in any case, this strict time-frame's only for our preparation for the concert (please inform your parents that this is our crucial period, so we may all go home slightly later)
But we'll make sure we practice what we preach. So from now on, I (yes your chairman) vow that every committe member will practice what we preach! or we'll do 5 pushups for every-one broken!!


Alright, today we did lots dancing in our pretty yellow dresses. Note: I feel that we'll look really amazing up there on the stage twirling and dancing under the spotlights :). But having a good outlook isn't all, we've got to make sure that we're made of good stuff. (Not as if this hasn't been emphasized enough) Dancesteps Dancesteps Dancesteps! Let's all work hard together and perfect our steps! (i'm practicing mine after this, i swear)
I'm sure you guys can see how passionate Carinda and Murni are in putting the whole dance together and passing it down to everyone, so let's not disappoint them both, nor the teachers, mr Wong, our supporters or those who believe in us (eg. seniors) alright??

Right now, we've covered 75% of the special item. Remaining 25% you may ask? That's the passion, enthusiam and effort from all of us (if you're willing to put them in) . One week left to our concert, and i can't make it any more obvious that it's the crucial period for all of us. We either make it, or break it and the hard truth is that, it's all in our hands. Friends/classmates/schoolmates that look down on choir or you? Well let me tell you, put up a good performance and that's gonna let us leave with new found glory and respect gained.

Always remember our goal: To have an amazing and successful concert !!!
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams- Eleanor Roosevelt

** Remember to bring your dress,gown and heels this thursday. Dress and gown to be washed,ironed and hanged :) Check your heels! if need be, send them to a coblar :) **

Hello choir!

This is Jiaqi speaking! :)

Today we kicked off our choir practice with aiming towards a common goal: which is to have a 'more-than-extreme' successful show for both the year end concert and the hongkong trip! All the hard work we're putting in now is to make us more prepared and confident on stage. And of course, show people the power of Damaivoicez! So please please please put in 101% in these very few choir practices. We've came a long way and now is definitely not the time to slacken off!

Discipline was good today; all of you did not talk much when Mr Wong was going through the songs and even when taking out scores, the noise level was acceptable. However, even though there was not much commotion, you all need to pay more attention as I can see some of you spacing out and not coming in when you are supposed to.

Today's singing was not bad either! But as usual, there NEEDS to be improvement. Do not anticipate and wait for others to come in. You have to be very sure of all your scores and do start memorizing the rest of songs (Still I Rise etc.) as well. Also, do take note of your posture(backs straight, do not slouch) and facial expressions. I have seen a drastic regression(opposite of improvement) in this two components since SYF, so please take note as it does affect your singing greatly.

As for our special item, please put in effort to practice that too. It is our very own time to shine so we must also show our best in this section also! There will be a dance audition tomorrow so please practice it tonight. If you do not pass them, you will have to stay back for the rest of the practice to work on it. A gentle reminder to bring your dresses and heels tomorrow. :D

No more consumption of fried food for the upcoming days and take good care of your throat! :) We are left with only two more practices so please try not skip any of it. Thank you very much.
Choir starts at 11AM tomorrow. Please be on time if not, you know the rules!

See you! :)

Hello people who wear tee shirts to choir. Just wanna be clear on some things.

If you think that dancing for the special item is wasting your time, then I'm very sorry to hear. We spent hours and hours staying back late after choir just to think of de best, nice and easier dance steps for everyone. And if you think that it's easy to choreograph the dance then we will gladly take in advice from you. If you have any suggestion, your are free to do so. If you want this concert to work out, all of you will then have to give your very best and be hyper and look alive! So we will look fantastic on stage. If you're embarrassed that we're dancing on stage and becoming all Stone-full, then the more people will comment about us. If we look happy and enjoying ourselves, then will be happy for us too. Hope you guys can understand.

From starting of next week, NO MORE FRIED FOOD. I know all of us ate it too. Well maybe not all, but no more fried food from next week onwards until the hong kong performance is over. After the performance, in hong kong, you can eat all the wonderful hong kong food. Yay. Woohs
Don't wanna see anyone going to any fastfood restaurants during the lunch breaks next week.

Okay. Now. Please watch your discipline. I'm sure we've said this thousands of times and yet no one respects our presence. If anything you're not sure about, you can always raise up and your hand and ask. If you're sick or not able to do certain activities, you guys can always tell us. Dont just keep quiet cause you may interrupt the momentum of our progressing.
Also when Mr Wong is teaching us or telling us something, please give him full attention and stop chit chatting. Only yesterday after the seniors came in, I can hear the air con running. There was total 'silence' . Guess you guys love them so much :(

Only if you give him your attention and maintain discipline, everything will fall into place. Like yesterday for example, you guys were quiet, listening to him and you guys sang really well and we're all impressed. I like the fact that you guys are respecting your seniors ALOT but please also respect Mr Wong and Us.Please also control your usage of hand phones in choir. Guess we are all addicted to the technology nowadays? Now is a critical period where the stress will be coming along but we're in this together. SO LET'S WORK HARD NOW! AND WE CAN PLAY HARDER LATER!

BYes. Tag NOW on the choir blog and like or comment on FB. Anything you wanna talk about you may leave a comment on the chatbox in the choir blog. Yay. Remember to report outside music room at 11am and for those, black files, your song thingy and necessary stationeries.

No big font post :>

We need this

Hello elite vocalist !
No more jokes ,its serious time.

First of all ,the choir did really well for Butterfly today ,we're really proud.We realise that this effort is only put in by you when the seniors are with us .
This is not acceptable .Every single one of you should respect us like you respect the Sec 4s.We will not entertain any form of rudeness any more .Why are we back to basics ? The concert is very important so is Hong Kong .Each and every one of you should work as hard or even harder than SYF.
All the committee members have rights to give instructions so listen! We are going to step up the discipline measures because some of you do not seem to understand how to respect us and one another.

On a lighter note , great singing and discipline today .Unless you want to make a fool of yourself in front of your friends and family after they paid CASH to watch YOU ,please practice your dance .This special item is very important .We all want to do perfect for the dance.Watch the Glee Light Up The World video !! They do not look like zombies ,they are happy ,gleeful, hyper ,full of energy beings ! We want that ,so practice !! Please check this link if your unclear when to enter for the dance :CHOIR SPECIAL ITEM

Lastly ,Monday choir starts at 11am at the Music Room.During lunch : NO FRIED FOOD.You guys probably have no idea how it will affect your voice but it does .From next week ,no fast food ,fried food anything oily.We don't want catch anyone happily munching on fried food.The dresses are almost here! Be excited.

 We love you guys ! We can do it,every single one of us needs to work 100x harder .We're almost there ^^

 All of you have to tag the cbox,I will question the people who dont.

Love ,Murni

Hello choir. Elena here!
G-double O-D-J-O-B GOODJOB *CLAP CLAP* GOODJOB *CLAP CLAP* We did a lot of dancing today and yes we're getting there. We're so close but we're just not there yet. So, we're gonna need everyone's co-operation!! (the basics: no interruption, respect the person talking by not talking and looking at the person while he/she is speaking, bring all necessary stuff for choir and respect the conductor).

Please practice the dance at home! Especially if you always have to look/rely on someone else to get the steps right. When you dance: Wide, exaggerated and confident movements. This means that no looking at one another, SMILE (for goodness sake, enjoy your limelight on stage!!) , and dance with lots of power and speed alright! I'm happy that you guys are more alive during light up the world! ( I really like it when you guys smile and dance care-freely!!)  We'l gonna work on issues on confidence once we've learnt all the steps! We only have 3 practices till the combined rehearsal. Time is running out , and its running out fast. So we gotta keep improving like how we are now!

Okay, Although the special item is important, the main bulk of the concert is also our singing, so do go home and Practice your songs!! Memorize the Lyrics/know your parts extremely well for : Aka Toenbo, Hear the music, The wind (SAB) and keeping the dream alive!! everyone MUST pass the auditions this thursday!! We've already made it this far, just put in that little effort and we'll be better than awesome on our big day :)) Sing for your parents/siblings/friends/mirror wherever, whenever you can!! It's our time to shine people. It's our time to show the world what we're made off!!! okay!!

Cya guys 1.30pm-5.30pm this thursday at the music room! >:) bye!

it will be displayed on the blog under a new section which will be coming your way soon! ;)

Remembrance day

Hello choir! Carinda here. If i'm not wrong, tomorrow is remembrance day? But to remember what, i have no idea.  So today we did the dance. If we were a bit too harsh, i apologize. But the pressure of the concert nearing is really making me paranoid and scared. So i hope you guys won't freak out. Also, don't stop selling your tickets. Even after you've finished selling all your 6, continue to promote the concert and get more tickets from Mr Wong :)

Today at the start of choir, Elena had a talk with you guys didn't she? I hope all of you guys remember what you have promised and continue to work hard for choir! Don't make Mr Wong angry again. It sure wasn't pleasant seeing him flare up was it? :/ So pay a lil' more attention, talk a lil' less. Things won't go wrong :) watch your discipline, we don't want rudeness/talking back.

Remember to memorise the songs Mr Wong asked you to. You don't want to embarass yourself by singing the wrong things etc right? ^^

Last but not least, PRACTICE YOUR DANCE. Especially the crucial 2nd row. You guys are always not coming together and we need to improve that. Be sure of where you're supposed to come in. Raise questions when you're in doubt, don't just stand there and keep doing the wrong things over and over again. We won't bite when you ask questions. Just make sure you don't ask redundant questions ok?

We have implented new rules and in case you forget, here are the more crucial ones.
1) Late, do 5 push ups immediately. No hum or haws. You have to do it.
2) Greet the seniors before and after practice.
3) No rudeness.
4) 101% commitment.
5) Produce MC for absence.

YOU CAN DO IT CHOIR. We are one big family. Never be shy to voice out whether it is in choir practice, the facebook page, or the tagboard here.

WE LOVE YOU GUYZ.

I don't want anyone skipping any practices. The following practices are extremely extremely crucial. Like Elena said, we only have 7 PRACTICES TO OUR CONCERT. And approximately 20 days only. Make use of those days. Practice hard, reap the benefits ^^

See you guys on Monday!

Hey CHOIR!!! Haha! Syafiqah here :) This is my very first post after so long. Miss me? Hehe... So today's practice was okay but still not up to EXPECTATION!!! There's still more improvements to be made. OKAY!! Altos was AWESOME today!! Haha! Sopranos were awesome too :) As you know today's dance practice was... You know what i mean... I no need to say this again.... I just dont understand why everytime you dance as a whole... You become messy.... you must listen to the beat of the song and stop looking at others!! You must be sure of your dance move cos you all are awesome gals!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Sigh.... Oh, your discipline wasn't good... You keep talking and talking all the time... Why like this huh?!? Is it so important? I also realize that some of you use your cell during choir practice... You know the rules. NO USAGE OF CELLS DURING CHOIR PRACTICE!!!! you can use it duirng choir break or after choir, kay... You are young adults and you should understand simple english... There's no need for me to repeat this over and over again... I dont like to nag... AND do remember to practice the dance moves and the songs we're singing at home. Okay, that's about it :) Bye

Hey members of the choir , yinita here (:


In general , today's practice was not that bad .
And yay ! we finished the song akatonbo :D so pleaaasee go home and practiceee . Remember to start memorizing all the scores especially 'hear the music' . And when you guys are sitting down in the av , please sit up straight and breathe the correct way when singing .


However , discipline is still not that good . You guys are still too chatty and noisy despite the many 'shhhh' we gave . Dont try to test our patience okay . Or mr wong's patience as i know that he is getting irritated by this . Please do not talk when he is teaching . Especially when he is examining another section as it will be hard for them to listen to him . The only major problem with you guys is that you do not know when to talk and when not to talk . So i believe you guys can work on it and improve on it (:


Another thing would be your attendance . Comon people ! Time is running up ! Every single practice is veryyy important so you cant miss out on any ! Please ask your friends who are not regular in their attendance to come especially those who are involved in the year end concert and honk kong trip .


And we will start teaching you guys the dance moves on thursday :D So please be there ! Hopefully you guys can pick up the moves quickly and master it soon :D And go sell those tickets !! we need the money ! and ask for more if you need to ! Remember there's choir on thursday . see ya <3

Happy Halloween.

Hello lovely happy smiling yellow singing birds of dancing happiness! :)

How are you guys doing? I'm Carinda btw. And i hope you're enjoying the new song,AH KAH TON BO! Its so jappish and awesome. You know. I'm in love with it if you're not. So you should. Yeah. So anyway, i have noticed that some of your choir mates are not attending choir,and i, very sincerely, would like to ask you beautiful souls here to please ask your lovely choir friends to attend choir at EVERY PRACTICE. You can't just come once and miss the next 2 practices. Choir practice is very important. Every single one of them. Yay.
So now what are we working on?
OUR SPECIAL ITEM! The dance, which is a mash of the committee'11 dance and the winner's group's, is improving day by day lol. So yeah you're gonna learn it soon. Be excited. Maybe its not what you would expect but trust me. Its good. And we're working hard on it.
The committee now is working extremely hard to make our performances a great success, and all we're expecting from you is full attendance,101% committment and some time of yours at home, just to take out your scores and sing for 10 min. Even just 5 min, its good enough. You'll get good karma if you do good things like read the blog often, practice, and commit etc. So please do so :)
Ohkay so we'll see you guys tomorrow at 2pm outside the AVA room, but do be there by 1.45pm thank you ^^

SEE YOUUUUUU <3333

Oh, and happy halloween, may all your nightmares come true ;)

hello choir! :) janice here ^^ so im here to give a general review on the practice on mon (24/10) and thurs (27/10).
so on mon,we had to retake the video for the performance at hk.as what mr wong said,you guys are v inconsistent. if you guys cannot even perform in front of a camera -_-"....then how are you going to perform in front of a huge crowd of ppl for the concert and at hk??so, i hope to c more improvement from all of you.don get affected by your surrounding.focus on our priority and put in our very best. :)
the altos also had sectionals on the wind.im sure you guys know where the problem lies within this section right...you guys need to improve on your airy voice.i know it is not easy.but it has to be done.use your diaphragm ,not your throat.this goes out to everyone!!
********i cannot emphasise more on THE BASICS!

• breathing the right way
• vowels
• facial expressions
• dynamics
• posture

all these have been taught to you and repeated a lot of times already.how can we improve,when the committee have to constantly remind you of things tt you should already be doing. you need to be v familiar with it already.i dont have time to keep on reminding you guys about these.we need to move on guys! the concert and hk trip is nearing .work hard and we will get the results we want.dont wait until it is over then you regret ,it will be too late by then.
pls also have discipline during mass sing and sectionals ok?? rmb, light up the performance!!! :)
practice aka tonbo and the other songs we have learnt too.lets all work tgt and put up an awesome performance! :) ♫ ♪
cya at music room at 2pm on monday! :) enjoy your holidays~~~~~~ ☺

Hello choir! Jiaqi here! :D

I am glad that most of you have attended both practices on tuesday and thursday as Mr Wong was present. It is also the last practice before the exam break. We have learnt a new song "Hear the Music" and re learnt parts for the "The Wind" SAB version. It should be easier for us to grasp onto our new parts for "The Wind" since I'm sure most of us has heard all the different parts before. As for "Hear the Music" it is a very short song, so it should be easy to remember.

After the exam break, we will be learning two new songs that will be used for both the End Of Year concert as well as the Hong Kong trip, so we must know our parts well for the songs that we have already learnt so as to save time to learn the other two songs well. Also, do expect to have practice thrice a week. We must get a GOLD for the competition and do really well for the concert... and for Mr Wong's surprise ;D shhhhh, don't say it. hahaha. x)

If anyone of you are interested to design the poster for the concert, please do so and hand it up to Mr Wong the next practice after the exams. :D The title of the concert is going to be "Singspiration"!~ It is not confirmed though so if you guys think you have better names, you can suggest it to Mr Wong as well :)

As for the payment for the Hong Kong trip, please remember to bring and pass up all of your edusave forms and cheques by this coming Tuesday, if not you'll not be able to go to Hong Kong.Oh yes, we'll be having a choir tee soon, so be prepared to bring about $13 on Tuesday as well :D

Okay, that's all!! Do study hard and score well for your exams!! :D Good luck to you all ^^

Hello choir! Jiaqi here. :D


Thursday's practice -> 
Attendance for that day's practice was not bad. Everyone was on time and was cooperative even though Mr Wong was not present. We need to see more of this in every practice so that we'll be able to do well for the year end concert and in hongkong :)

Sop 1s - Good job on the loud singing! But do know when to talk, and when not to, especially when Janice is teaching the rest of the sections their parts.
Sop 2s - From what I see, you guys are not very sure of your parts for "Still I Rise". Also, sop2s cant really be heard as well. Do speak up if you're not sure of your parts and sing louder as well.
Altos - Even though it's a big section but sometimes, your will get influenced by the sops and start singing the wrong notes. Do listen out to your own section while singing as well. Some of the voices are sticking out, please try to blend in with the rest..~

as previously mentioned, this song is very choral so we must all try to blend in together for a good result :) its a song that we'll be singing for both of the big events we'll be having at the end of the year, so we must do well! :D

Also, please hand in all of your planning for the special item for our year end concert this coming week. Don't forget to practice your scores and take note that choir is on tuesday instead of monday this week! :D Those who hadn't pay choir fund for this month (sept) please do so!! :D

OH AND CHECK THE NOTICE BOARD. muahahah. >:D

have a good weekend!! :)

Hello People of the little land of smurffletown , Remember to submit these stuff!!
: Your Designs
: Plans for what we should do for our special item

I'll be taking attendance and i don't wish to see anyone who didn't do the stuff i mentioned above. You've got a week, and however lazy you are, just 5-10 minutes of singing/planning wouldn't kill you. Alright? There's always a time to play and a time to be serious. The year end concert is not something we can plan at the last minute . I want us to be at top-form for the concert and Hongkong. We can do it, but if we all don't work together, nothing , NOTHING is going to turn out as good as we originally planned it to be.

So, that's all for the serious part, for now.

Have a great holiday!  Practice your scores and study! And we'll see you guys when school reopens, MONDAY 12th September outside the music room 3.15pm SHARP.

Damai choir is the best.

HI CHOIR!!! Carinda here :)
I'm going to try to make this a lengthy post because i rarely update. So i need to summarize all my points into one post. So basically,the hongkong trip is MORE than confirmed. Its undergoing planning,and before you know it,you're on the plane,flying to hongkong! As we all know,the briefing made us all excited (yay) and we are definitely looking forward to that trip the most amongst everything we are preparing to achieve. So lets do ourselves proud and make our trip worthwhile! ^^

And also,those who handed up the gowns before Thursday (25/08/11),i sincerely thank you. You people are responsible and awesome. However,those who didn't,we would like you to know that you have inconvenienced a lot of us by you inconsideration. Sure,you can forget once or twice,and at the very most,forget thrice. But hey,we asked for the gowns practically weeks before the deadline itself. Why is it that you guys didn't bring it? There definitely could not be any excuse for not being able to bring it,for so many weeks! And you guys didn't even bother to tell us that you didn't bring your gowns,whatsoever. Just because Elena and Josie is lenient doesn't mean you can trample all over them alright? Do reflect,if you know you're one of those who didn't being their gowns.

Attendance! Sec 1s,i'm extremely satisfied. Yay. Sec 3s,great job,keep it up as well. However,sec 2s,improve on your attendance please. There are certainly many people with consistent attendance,but some others are the black sheep,pulling down the reputation of the sec 2s. Tssk tssk tssk. Please don't be one of the black sheeps. I want to see improvements in attendance please! :)

NEW MEMBER.
YAYYY we have a new member,Kim! Lets warmly welcome our new member,and do try to ask more people to come! We need more voices. (See what i did there?) LOL! Ohkay enough nagging. TAG TO PROVE YOU CAME TO THE CHOIR BLOG. ^^

No choir on Monday! According to Mr Wong,we must go "Awwww!" Hahahaha. So see ALLLLLL of you guys A.S.A.P. And until then,stay safe,stay well,practice,and be happy. Ciao. :)

Tag now.

hello ppl! :) janice here.
review for thursday's practice (25/8)
I thought that yesterday's performance was ok :)
sop1 : keeping the dream alive -->take note of the entry points at part D .if you are unsure and confused by the beat,tap along with the music.bar 66:we're KEEPING the dream alive........pls think DARK for the word keeping.
          still i rise --> take note of the details tt mr wong said.esp the last part where all the sections sing in different beats.

sop2:keeping the dream alive-->part D needs to be louder! we are the melody and we need to be heard :) its not every day tt we get to sing the melody.so,pls project your voices.
         still i rise--> take note of the details tt mr wong said.esp the last part where all the sections sing in different beats.dont get influenced by other sections! focus and listen out to one another.

Altos:keeping the dream alive-->pls be sure of your parts.i c improvement but pls be sure of your notes.use your diaphragm when you are singing because you guys sound really really airy.breathe in properly and sing with more energy! :)
         still i rise-->notes are generally ok,some parts pitching is incorrect.bar 67:and WE can make it happen....think DARK for the word we.
 
pls read my post below as well and refer to the points that i wrote.think of how we can improve on our singing.after listening to the briefing for hk trip,im sure most of you are v v excited :D im excited too :) so,pls make a good impression and put in more effoer.the competition is of international standards.its not just local standards already.the amt of effort and hardwork has to be more than syf.this requires TEAM EFFORT,by every single member.

there are no practices for the next 2 weeks,due to the holidays.so,i expect everyone to practice ok??:) i hope to c better singing from you guys after the holidays :) i have faith in you guys!! 

******CONSENT FORM FOR HONG KONG TRIP!!! must be handed in by wednesday (31/8) ps:tts the due date for the choir designs too :P

enjoy the long weekend! :)

    

hello hello choir! :) its me JANICE! :) yay! ^^ for today's practice (22/8/2011)

overall:good job!:)  i can c improvement in the pitching of notes.you guys were more sure.but pls sing louder! so,i tried to identify your problems today according to sections :)

[pls refer to your score!! ]


keeping the dream alive: :D
-->sop 1:notes and pitching are generally ok.but sing out! i cant really hear you guys! :(
-->sop 2:cant really hear you guys! :( do not b afraid to sing out.you can only know your mistakes    when  you SING OUT!
-->Altos:generally can be heard .but you guys are not sure of your notes at some parts.like your pitching from bar 23 ,at the chorus.you guys CANNOT get influenced by the sops.FOCUS!listen out to another and have discipline to get the right pitching.i dont 1 to c you guys going back to square one.IMPROVE!NOT REPEAT!

***everyone is out of tune at bar 30-bar 58! pls take note!
***the last part is quite messy .v disorganised.pls take note when you are suppose to come in.ENTRY POINTS!and when to sing bar 70.

Still I Rise :3
-->sop 1 : pitching generally take note of ur timing and when to cut of the notes.esp bar 19-bar 24
-->sop 2: pitching was good today but you guys were really soft!
-->Altos: pitching was fine.but you guys were unsure of the pitch from bar 19- bar 24

***this song is v choral.there are many chords requiring lots of harmony.so,pls take note of BLENDING! make sure we blend at every note :) hopefully,we can create an overtone.

choir,these two songs will be sung at the end of year concert.im sure you guys cant be just satisfied with our performance now right?im sure you guys want to improve and show to others our amazing singing right? the committee can only do this much,to guide and assist you guys when you need our help.conduct sectionals to refresh your memory,to emphasise on impt details.but the rest is up to YOU.the committe is not the one standing on stage at the concert to sing for you guys.ITS THE ENTIRE CHOIR.we can do this ok :) we can make a difference.we did so in syf this year already by breaking the bronze trend and getting our long-awaited silver.so we can do it again ,even at hk.but more effort is needed.we want to get a gold right?so work towards it.it is a blessing to be part of your passion,singing. ♥ ♥ ♫ ♪ so make every opportunity count ☺
 so yeah,practice ok :) dont let mr wong repeat the same thing when we have taught you guys today.
*Success is 1% inspiration and 99% pespiration*

ok..i shall not be naggy anymore ☺
cya on thurs! 3pm outside the music room :)

hey sexy choir.

hey choir. Carinda discriminates my hand writing and yes i'm complaining about her to you all! :) okay just joking. but yea we had fun :) and she changed it to, ' murni's sexy handwriting' XD okay haha. Today singing was like JB. not so good. i think JB sucks. opps :) [if you don't know what is JB, it would most probably be in your dictionary.. go check it out! or you can wait for the subtitles to come out on your screen (joking) ] Please sing well like Taylor Swift and Josh Gorban or Darren Criss or we'll not be able to perform well for our end of year concert and our overseas performance. we are seriously running out of time. OUR PERFORMANCE HAS A HEAVIER DUTY THAN SYF ! so please please try your best and sing out :))

Overall review for today 
Altos - please try to sing out and remember your notes. need a lot of practice!
Sop 1 - only need to work on your notes. other than that, you're fine
Sop 2 - sing out more and remember your notes!

okay so try your best alright?   watch your discipline in choir  and practice the new song we learned today and keeping the dream alive. you guys seem to have forgotten about 'keeping the dream alive'. -sighs-

See you all outside music room on monday at 3.15! BYES! :DD

Hello Damai voicez!!~~ Thursday singing!

ALTOS- sounded really dead/airy/soft work harder! use your diaphragm to support okayy!! :D :D
We know you guys can do it! LET LOOSE AND KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.!!

SOPRANOS- Sop 1s Remember to sing softer for the ending! (keeping the dream~~ keeping the dream alive) The sop 2s are singing the melody. ;)

BUT great job catching the music fast!! :D

HEY PEEPS :) woo love the word 'peep' XD it sounds ..... cute haha
Remember to practice may it be and butterfly especially. and if you don't know how to sing some parts of it, please ask. or mr wong will have to repeat teaching us how to sing the same song over and over again. also altos please sing louder. sops try to project your voice out. when either sections is learning their parts, please don talk loudly and disrupt them or i stuff tissue paper in your mouth! haha but i mean it. dont talk among yourself especially during debrief or when mr wong is talking. Our competition is coming so we must work harder! Harder than in SYF cause it's like 'universal' okay haha. When you guys tag on the chatbox, please write your name. cause you know the blog not so active ( and everybody is on facebook but no excuse! :D ) and we will post all the stuff here unless its reminders then it will be on Facebook. okay tag on the choir blog often and see yah all tomorrow.

- Josie Q

Murni's writing.yay.

Hey my sexy elite vocalist !

I hope you are reading this because Im posting today ! Haaaaha ^.^

Okay aren't you excited for Monday ? You should be ,it'll be fun .Promise.

Before I forget , I want to thank the whole choir for co-operating with me on Wednesday though I was really grumpy.teehee.

The choir was great today .I really really really hope the choir will be like this on Monday.

Every single one of you should be proud,honoured and really excited that you're performing.

So how do we make this performance a success ? Just 2 things guys .Just 2.

1) Sing like you never sang before.
2) Smile like there's no tomorrow.

Please read this section its just personal advice ,you all have to read:

I know how it feels to be scared on stage.Dont be nervous ,your friends are with you.

Look at the exit sign .Dont look at your feet .Stand up straight ,dont fidget.

Do choir proud .Sing out loud .Dont be lazy towards the end of in the heartbeat.

Remember your actions .Be sure of your movements, ask your friends or ask the committee members.We did it in the AV theatre ,we can do it again.So what do you do now ? Practice ! Its sounds really cheesy ,I use to think so too but I can promise you guys that it helps.Remember what you all promised Carinda ?To be as hyper as you all are today :)

Common mistakes the choir make :

1) Not on time for "In a heartbeat " we cant afford to make these mistakes
2) Being very lazy towards the end of the song
3) Forgetting your movement,we will go through on Monday again .
4) Very airy ,please use diaphragm.
5) For high notes take in a deeeeeep breath before that.
6) Lack of practice ,dont think I dont know you guys dont practice.BEEN THERE.DONE THAT.

Here are some important reminders :
-Be in the music room by 7.25 am
-For your hair please bring : hair tie ,bobby pins and wax or hairspray.

-Tie your hair in a bun before coming for choir.
-For your pretty little faces bring : your own foundation ,blusher and dont forget your brushes !
-Try your best to use contact lenses
-Wear full uniform
-Memorise word for word everything .Sing,sing and sing.
-Do the committee proud alright?You know you can.

you know you love me,xoxo
Murni

Hello choir, Jiaqi here. :)

Yesterday's practice was alright. The attendance is horrible; please ask your friends to come for choir! As for singing wise, good job for the altos after much reminder. Do sing as loudly for Thursday and the rest of the choir sessions ok? :D Sopranos, please cut down on the chattering during choir sessions.

Oh yes, we'll be singing for the national day concert! So, we hope to see you present for practice! :DD

Please practice Butterfly at home! Oh and if there's any part you are unsure of, please do approach your section leaders okay?

Okay, CHOIR starts at 3pm on Thursday! Please come on time and bring all the materials needed (scores, stationery, waterbottle) See youuu :)

Hey choir, Yinita here (: Hmm, so last Thursday's practice wasn't so well. And the attendance was bad! You guys really took a lot of time to get 'May it be' right. And we just taught you on monday. Didn't you go home and practiceeee? Andand you guys seriously made a lot of noise despite the loads of 'shhhhh' we gave you. PLease have self-discipline and talk only when you need to and softly. I hope you guys heard what Mr Wong said about singing simple songs with techniques. And do not ever be complacent! We are a silver choir, we can sing like one! So please put the effort to! You don't want to go Hong Kong with anything less than a silver standard, right? And and unless you are a newcomer, please go and photocopy your own scores if you lost them or if yours is rotten. It's your responsibilty. And please recruit too ah! :D okay lah, I shall stop nagging here. Choir on monday at 3.15, music room. Don't be late ah! (: See ya <3

love, yinita.

Hey choir!! Syafiqah here :)
Well im here to give you a review on Monday’s (18 July) practice. First of all, your discipline wasn’t up to standard. You were very chatty and fidgety on that day. Just because Mr Wong isn’t around, doesn’t mean you can not behave well and slack. I believe that you guys do want to impress him with your beautiful voices when he comes for Thursday’s practice. Who wants to be discriminated by him? You tell me personally arh. You guys have the potential of singing well and so let’s show him that, okay. Ohya, please stop fidgeting cos it’s so UNGLAM. Especially those who sits in the first row. Well you know why right… cos Mr Wong will be looking at you touching here, touching there. Pff… haha! So ya… and PLEASE PRACTICE at home your Butterfly and May It Be song.

A gentle reminder that this Thursday’s practice is at 3 pm sharp and remember to bring your Butterfly and May It Be scores. DON’T BE LATE! Okay buhbye :)

hello hello choir! :) janice here :)

well,as you can see ...attendence is not v good for the past few practices yeah?...pls pls ask your friends to come for choir...they will be missing out on a lot of fun ....

pls practice may it be...we are going to revise tt on mon...i really need you guys to cooperate and sing louder and correctly...with techique..i dont wish to see ppl slacking bcos syf is over.dont forget...we still have the year-end concert and hong kong trip at the end of this year right? at least maintain the silver standard and not drop.remember...we have done it before...we attained a silver in syf...and we CAN definitely do it again.

choir,pls ask if you are unsure of your parts and sing out.we are not mind-readers so DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK :) we are a family :D

pls read the other committe member's posts too ok??

cya guys on mon! ;)

Hi guys. Carinda that smelly cow here! xD

I think its because Mr Wong came today,everyone sang quite well! As we all know,the hongkong trip is CONFIRMED. So if you wanna come,keep up with the good work if you're doing so,and improve yourself if you know you're not doing well. I shall review you guys in terms of level!

Sec 1s. :
Good job in attendance! However in terms of speaking up and singing out loud,you guys need to improve yeah? Well done if you've received your first sticker! :D

Sec 2s :
Not very good attendance today. Especially since a lot of you left early. Sing out more! You guys are the oldest after us! Must sing! Also,congratulations to those who received their stickerrr :)

Sec 3s :
Not happy with attendance today! Improve on that. But yea,all of you sang out and projected your voices. Good job! (Y) Congratulations if you got your first sticker!

And to those who didn't get a sticker,don't fret! You still have a lot of weeks ahead of you. If you did not receive stickers,reflect back on what you think you did wrong,and work hard at improving it. Ohkay? If we see effort,we will be generous with our stickers. Good luck!

Announcement :
On monday,there'll be PT! YAY! Do remember to be in PE attire by 3.00pm and be outside the music room! Tag the blog and facebook more ohkay? Tip : That is also considered when we give you sticker.

Ohkay i think thats all. Have a great weekend ahead! See you on Monday!!! :D

HEY GUYS. remember that choir starts at 3 pm tomorrow. practice your 'May it be'. Don't let Mr Wong constantly go through the parts that we already learn. Common tests start tomorrow, study well for it and good luck :) we're going HONGKONG!! okay hmm..... OH!
Remember to bring these items TOMORROW

REVIEW OF TODAY's PRACTICE (woo so scary)

EH LOHS EVERYBODY. YO! This blog need to be more ALIVE. even though it's a non living thing. okay lol. BUT TAG MORE & also comment on Facebook especially the sec 1s and 2s. Yeap yeap.

so lower sec ... enjoying your ISPL week? well i heard today's attendance is not very good eh. You guys need to improve on your attendance and come for choir. We have more things to do than you guys and we turn up every session. so .. now SYF is over, we can play games! YAY (leave a comment in tag box if you want to request for any games :D) So please improve on that. and i also heard that you guys learn a new song. May It Be by Lord of the Rings. *GO HOME AND PRACTICE yah? don't make Mr Wong repeat those part that we already learn. Remember your sitting and standing postures and watch discipline when Mr Wong is talking.

For the next practice, remember to bring your notebooks and those needs amend their gowns for alteration such as the those that are without the beads at the side of the gown also bring it by next Monday. And also for those sec 3s who haven't pass up their NYAA booklets. okay i think that's about it for today. OKAY BYES :D

- Josie Q

Hello choir!!!

Hahaha the blog seems a little less alive right now. So i'm just going to type nonsense :) How did you guys spend your youth dayyyy? HAHAHA! No choir you all must have celebrated right? Well good if you enjoyed. Anyway,THERES CHOIR AGAIN ON THURSDAY YAYY. So,bring your file,and needed materials ohkay? Those who were absent last thursday please bring your MC or whatever thing to prove that you were really tied up. We do no approve of skippingg choirrr >.<

Ohkay and,GO AND VISIT THE CHOIR NOTICEBOARD AT THE CANTEEN. It has been recently updated,so yeah. And i don't see many sec 1 and 2s tagging the choir blog uhh? Better do so. If not monsters will come to your bed at night x)

Hahaha. So i think thats all? Be at the music room at 3.10pm on thursday. Ask your friends to visit the blog,and ask those who didn't come for choir to COME FOR CHOIR. We have come up with a new game,and it will keep you entertainedddd! So do well!

Ohkay enough. Bye guys! See you!

Today. Was. GREAT! :D It's really nice to see the drastic improvement in comparison with monday ; attendance wise, response wise and other ways.People should be jealous that we're in choir :D So,

LET'S KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK CHOIR ♥!

Please be reminded to :
-Bring your notebook (to paste stickers :D) and other essential stuff for choir next thursday .
-Choir starts at 3.15pm net thursday.
-Inform your parents about the hongkong trip and year end concert because we need to confirm the amount of people going by the 2nd week of june!
- submit SYF reflections on thurs and make it look long! :)
- Sec 3s who haven't handed up NYAA, please do so asap.
-Remind your friends to come for choir or they'll be missing out on ALOT of fun! ^^

Very very last thing i promise!
We're one choir, we're a team; and every practice will reflect how well rehearsed we are for any perfomance that we will have in the future; be it hongkong trip, year end concert , or even SYF 2013. So, sec 1s don't be shy! Choir LOVES YOU GUYS! speak up and sing out more! and the rest of the choir : WE'VE GOT THIS. Now let's prove how awesome we are (to teachers, to Damai, to mr wong) during every practice and performance! GO ~~~ CHOIR! OHYEAH.

heh! k bye!
-Elena.

Hey choir, it's Elena here. :B

I'm here to give a review about today (monday the 27th)'s practice!
But first of all, i'ld like to let you all know that it's not really easy to stand up there and lead! So i really hope that you guys will give the new committe and yourselves some time to get used to it ! ^^ Looking forward to more awesome times with the awesome choirpeeps!

Okay, back to the point.
Today's singing was... you guys know. There's room for ALOT of improvement guys! (dynamics, loudness) I know it's kinda weird that you don't hear the previous' committees voices that much anymore, you have new faces leading you and the sec4s are gone . Not to mention that we have fewer people in choir! Pleasseee sing your best in choir! When you give 110% of effort during practices, you don't have to worry about being nervous during performances, because you'll drop to at least 90% or even better, 100%. WE HAVE FAITH IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. We can do this but there needs to be more effort put in!

Oh! sec 1s! don't be shy when we ask you questions :) we're all a family so just feel free to say your opinions and/or reply to us when we ask a question! That's about all, remember to remind your friends to attend choir this thursday 3.15pm @ music room!

Bye!
-Elena

thanks huiyin, belvy, xiaopei, huishan, alynn and jodi, thanks so much for your committments and your dedication to choir :) theres so much to thank for, but i suddenly duno how to type out @.@ hmmm, just rmb that i will miss our times together! and rmb our dances during the day-camps? :D hahas
i love you guys!

to the outgoing sec4s:
i will rememer all the experiences we shared together, from when we were innocent sec1s where we had our first choir camp, to sec2 our first SYF, suppposingly-to-go-malaysia-but-didnt-go, first concert at victoria concert hall and wanrong as our spastically-funny awesome chairman and her awesome committee, and sec3 the new committee as joewin as our chairman and our first BBQ together. those are priceless memories that we shared and i will forever rmb them :D
huiling, arini, hidayah, jiaxin, syafiqah, boonkang, inka and wenwei :)
i love you guys!

to the incoming committee:
i hope that you guys will do a good job in running choir for the upcoming year :)
dont forget the things that we told you yesterday and also if you ever need our help, you can call any of us for help or refer to the guide book! we are more than willing to help you~
im believe that all of you will be great leaders, rmb the part of my speech?
''a leader is more than leading, it is to lead with right morals, principles, and to earn the respect of your mass. a leader is not about what position you hold but rather how you lead and impact's others lfes, inspiring others to acheive their goals''
so no matter how big/small your post is, you are a leader and a role model :) do your best, we believe in you!
love you guys!

to the sec3s:
those that are not in the committee, i really hope that you guys wont be upset over it. i may not be able to comprehend how you feel, but i sincerely hope that you wont start skipping choir and not cooperate with the new committee! you guys still play a big part in choir, you have to rah-rah the choir and support the committee :) i'll rmb the times we shared for the past 3years, from when you just entered choir till now. im sure with your years of experiences you're able to help the new committee to bring choir to greater heights! i love you guys too :)

to the sec2s and sec1s:
thank you guys for joining choir, and stay till the end. i hope that you will infect other people with choir's enthusiasium and never-say-die spirit, making them change opinion about choir as you can see, we will need more members for the lower secondary! also you guys would be taking part in the next SYF, so i want you guys to learn as much as you can from your seniors and also have good memories like us, have stories to tell your juniors next time :D maintain that silver or get a GOLD! :) always reach for the skies, even if you fall you will land among the stars :)
i love you guys!

although i said this in my speech,
but i really felt that choir was more than a CCA to me, it was more than family. it was part of my life, something i cant live without. i hope that you guys can feel this too and keep the spirit going in choir :)
looking up to your new committee as your role models and most importantly ENJOY yourselves in choir. and SING WITH A PASSION.
treasure every moment you have. its time for me to let go of choir, i promise i will pop back in! dont be sad that we're leaving. but smile because we were there.
seeya on thursday, 9am in musicroom!

Hey choir,tomorrows the big day:PLets all do our very best so that we will not regret it.Please put more feelings into the song,feel for the song.We must express what we want to tell about the song through our expression and our singing to the judges.Touch the hearts of the judges,make them feel that this choir is different from the others.And also remember to SMILE!!!!!!!Have enough sleep tonight and also drink more water,take good care of yourself:)We will definitely miss you guys and the times we spent together training.Thinking back,we really spend a lot of time training together.There are times that we may feel frustrated with ourselves because we cant get the notes right.There are also time where we laugh at one another over the silly things that we do.We have really come very far as a whole and made a lot of improvements:)Lets all work as a whole choir tomorrow towards our goal!!!!!:)Remember to SMILE!SMILE!SMILE!(like bob:))

Anyway, sec 4s and 5s are stepping down after this. I'm sure it'll emotional huh. We'll definitely miss you all, since it's always the syf year that we become really bonded. My mind is really flashing back to when i was sec 1. So cute and short. ( I'm kidding. ) anyway, I'll leave all these till next time! HOPE YOU GUYS ARE SLEEPING ALR! :)
