How do you feel about yesterday's performance? I think there were good and bad. Agreed? Anyway, It's over! I would say our hard work did pay off, especially from the last 2 practices. Can we keep this up? Don't only make it the last 2 practices before the performance. Make it every practice! Then the choir will go further and sing better! I hope all of you enjoyed yourself singing and gaining a little more confidence with yourself. Also, let's thank Miss Yin for her patience and guidance throughout even though we pissed her off so many times :), Mrs Chew for her unwavering support throughout and all the coordination she did to make this concert a success and lastly, Mr Qiu who never fails to play the piano beautifully. Have a good rest and you all have another performance next week!

Hi choir,
Please make the following changes to your schedule.
9 December - Sectionals from 9am-12nn 10 December - Practice from 10am-5pm with a lunch break in between Please inform your SLs if you can't make it for any practice and submit a parent's letter or MC the next time.
*Additional Practice maybe added to prepare for the performance next week depending on the progress of the Choir.
Choir, your performance is just next week. Do you think we're well prepared? Have you done your part? Ask yourself. Please do not anger your SLs and of course Miss Yin anymore. Take note of what they are saying, revise before you come for practice nad memorising the songs. It won't take up a lot of your time. I believe none of you enjoyed practice yesterday right? But we can't let our mood control the quality of the each practice. Each practice is barely 3 hours, please make full use of them and don't forget everything that has been done the previous practice, you get tired, so does Miss Yin, but she's always hanging there and we should too. We have only 2 practice with Miss Yin before the performance, the outcome of the performance lies in your hands.

Heyyo choir!
Please be reminded that practice next Monday has been changed to9am! Please do come for practice already awake! Our performance at esplanade is less than 2 weeks! So please do not waste anymore precious time during practice so that we can deliver our very best on that day. Also, please don't forget what is taught and come for practice the next time with the bad sound.. I'm sure we all can do it if we decide to put in the effort. Go Choir! Alrights, see you all on monday! Please remember to come with all the songs we are going to perform memorised!!
Word of the day - ambivalent

Hi Choir, I have updated the schedule on the blog. If you have not get the schedule, you may refer to the ones at the side, but please remember to take a copy from Shu Wei the next practice! By the way, for the practices on 4 & 7 dec, please do not sms Jie Yi or myself for any queries as we will be abroad. Please contact Shu Wei if there is any doubts or queries.
I have read all your feedbacks and would wish to summarise a little about it here. Thank You for all the feedback and suggestions. I really found them useful :D
Well, I would want to thank the SLs for working so hard to take the sectionals, you have been doing a great job ;) i received much compliments :D so i would like to take this chance to thank The Joyces, Eugenia, Jerilene, Denise especially Shu Wei and Charmaine. It was mentioned that Charmaine, as a sec 1, she is brave enough to stand up there to take a section and Shu Wei, with no music background could actually handle the section so well and we could see that the sop 2s are improving, and i believe, quite bonded as i see many wrote "sop 2s rock" that kinda thing on the paper :D thats great and really heartwarming to see that :)) Other than that, i also receive good comments about members who sing out loud such as Erica, Li Yi and Denise, etc. So people, keep up the good work! ;) I do not deny that there are bad comments, but i have taken note of that and would try to improve on them :)
our performances are coming up, one after another so please do not slack people! after the esplanade performance, we still have the sec 1 registration concert, the cca day and the public concert of the school. so motivate yourselves to move on, although i know recently its very tiring for you to have sectionals and practices for five hours a day, but think positively! after you have gone through this rough patch you will have a better mindset and we could progress further! this do not only apply to choir but to your studies and daily life too. just think that you can do it and you can. the esplanade performance is just a short period of 2 weeks, 14 days away, lets buck up together alright!! :D
for 16 DEC, there will be a bus to take us to and fro the esplanade, so don't worry about the transport! ;)] the bus will leave school at 4.30pm sharp and return to school at 9.30pm.
for 23 DEC, we will be performing in the hall for the sec 1s as its their registration concert.
thats about it. i'll see you girls on 10 dec then. bye!
Love, Leona ;)
