Hey everyone. This is Phoebe. I think this post is overdue donkey years ago. There are so many things I want to say, so brace yourself guys.
Firstly, I would like to apologise to everyone, not only the committee, but also the members. It is because of my irresponsible nature that caused everyone to bear the wrath of Mr. Liew. He was right in scolding us, especially me. But, I would really like to say a huge sorry. It is because of my procrastination that caused the delay in so many things, and hence, causing Mr. Liew to feel frustrated. A good leader should not act in this way, what's more ignoring the problems in front of me. So if tenth time is a charm, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Secondly, I must say that I did not play my part at all in boosting the already low morale that the choir has. I probably made it worse. By acting oh-so-emo, it probably wasn't the key in making my members happy. If I had the ability to turn back time, I would change the pathetic thing, which I called leadership, and turn it into true leadership. I just fervently hope that my realisation would not be too late, and I can still play my part as a chairperson, so that when my members walked out of the music room, there would be a beatific smile on their faces, a light bounce in their steps, and their hearts soaring, just like when they had just accomplished something so magnificent.
Lastly, I will talk about positivity. If my whole post compromised of just negative stuff and apologies, then it would be not very moralising. So, I guess that the comm has already included enough quotes for you, so I shan't bother with any more, or you would be laden with too many. But, I really do hope that all of you would have smiles in their faces when you are singing. I know that it is hard to smile and sing at the same time, but I try my very best. Although I don't show it, but I do badly want our very FIRST concert to be a roaring success. The thundering applause, the whistles, and the raw admiration from the audience. It is something that can't be bought or faked. Do observe. After every performance, the performers' expressions are really a Kodak moment. I feel it too. Whenever I finish a performance, be it a choral performance, a dance performance, or even a drama performance, my heart would thump as loudly as the applause, and my face would feel like it would break from too much grinning. I do hope that for this concert, you will feel the same way as me. Heck the sweat that is rolling down your back! It is the sweat of sheer hard work. Heck the uncomfortable dryness at your throat! It is the dryness of a true magnificent choral performance. Heck the goofy grin on your face! It is the grin when you taste the sweetness of success.
Okey dokey. Enough yakking from your extremely talkative chairperson. Just do hope that all of you know one thing. Choir is a team thing. EVERYONE is needed. Regardless of your pitch or your face, you are still part of the KC Choir. Members of KC Choir are always proud to be part of the KC Choir. BECAUSE WE ARE KC CHOIR!
