HEY CHOIR!
janice here:)
since everyone posted, i thought i should too (although i already "posted" in the tagbox. but since im a nice person, ill post here too:)
well, first off, thanks for that awesome performence on wed night. it was really good, and although it wasnt a full house or anything, i believe we all put in alot of effort and well, it paid off. now u know what i mean by the magic that u experience when performing right? it was really really great and i thank you from the bottom of my heart that we managed to pull it off, our very first choir concert. i will remember it forever, and im sure u will too:)
for next year right, it will definitely not be an easy ride for kc choir, but i really really hope that we all remember the high and the happiness we felt after performing for this concert and keep pressing on to achieve that gold we all want so much.
even when we receive super much scolding and feel like pulling our hair out, remember that mr liew doesnt want to put us down but that he's trying to encourage us and push us forward because he sees that potential in us and he knows that we can do it if we try. since mr liew believes in us, we should really try and do it too kay? just like the song even such is time. mr liew chose it for us because he believed that we could do it, and even though it was really hard(and strange) in the end we didnt screw it up too badly. so if we try, we can do it! so next year no matter what happens, dont give up. no matter how much we feel like quiting, keep on striving, because like what andrea said, this is a must go through process to reach gold. excuse me for being so luo suo, but its like we are the clay and mr liew is the potter whos going to transform us into a beautiful vase. we will have to go through the fire and alot of pain, but it will be worth it because we will become a beautiful vase! mr liew once said another choir called him a magician, but in order for mr liew to transform us, we first need to allow him to do that, so we must change our mindset and allow mr liew to change us okay?
okay, after that loooong speech, time to thank people. we really really owe alot to PHOEBE u know, really. like u know sometimes u see her just running around, as if she's not doing anything, its not dat, she's so concerned abt the choir and she wants so much to do so many things for the choir, she just doesnt really know how. so dont look down on her, she's amazing and without her, i tell u this choir will fall apart. seriously. even though she is super stressed right, she's still so happy and cheerful all the time. we must really treasure her okay?
and PERCEYNER. wow. haha, for all the altos, u should know her very well. even though she's really strict music wise and always catches us for the smallest of things, she does it because she cares for us. without her, we would have super much scolding:) as vice chair of welfare too, she has done so much for the choir. shes constantly worrying abt u all and she always has ur welfare at heart.she's totally unique and essential for this choir!
ELAINE.our resisdent musical genius.haha:) well, its to her we owe all our scores and all the music related stuff, as the sop 2s know, she is absolutely needed to keep the section and choir going, without her, we are all lost. even though she's not always in front, she's working super hard behind the scenes so that we all know our music and that we dont fall apart during combined. we must treasure her okay and not take her for granted:)
and of course, we cannot leave out the SUB-COMM! all of ur sectional leaders are equally important to the choir and they play a really important part in keeping this choir going too.
danielle- she's always so cheerful that she never ceases to brighten the days of the people around her. even though sometimes things dont go too well, she still remains optimistic. because of her, we can learn to also be optimistic and to always look on the bright side. thank you danielle, for brightening up the choir:)
megan- she's super dedicated to choir. even though she wasnt performing for concert, she still came for every practice, slogging her guts out. the sop 1s owe alot to her, she always tries to think of how she can make sectionals better and how she can make the sop 1s better. thank you megan, for ur dedication to choir. we can all learn from u:)
janice- haha, small janice. even though we share the same name, we are so different! janice is really bubbly and always laughing and talking, helping to inject life and energy into the choir. never have i seen her sian, she is always full of energy. thank you janice, for making all of us laugh with ur energy and never ending enthusiasm for everything:)
wendy- hm..an emo? haha, no lar, even though sometimes she seems moody, shes not. you may think she doesnt do alot, but she wants to. hey, its because of her clapping that u sop 1s can keep in time and rhythm okay? she is an essential part of the comm, without her it wouldnt be the same. thank you wendy, that even though u appear emo sometimes, we know u are trying hard, and it encourages us to try hard too:)
dawn- even though she appears as quiet sometimes, watch out, she's actually thinking and observing. she may not talk much, but when she does, her words always knock us over. and her passion, wow! she really wants choir to do better and she always tries to improve the choir in the best way she can. thank you dawn, for ur passion. we (or at least i am) are inspired by it:)
andrea- haha, only recently have i realised how enthu this girl is. i still remember, during camp one night, she and anne i think came and sat beside me and they started giggling, for no reason at all! but seriously, we have seen a real change in her. she started off as a quiet girl, but now she's trying so hard to help the choir to have more energy, as can be seen from her post. thank you andrea, ur dilligence has really helped me to be enthu too:)
zi ling- my goodness, what to say! she is a one in a million girl, who really really loves choir and wants to do so much to improve it. she is willing to stay back, no matter how late, to learn the songs shes unfamiliar with so that she can teach it to the sop 2s. i remember teaching her and some other section leaders even such is time once. she was so hardworking and wanted so much to learn it properly so that she could teach it. sop 2s, u better treasure her, she is a gem!thank you zi ling, for everything uve done for the choir:)
wai yi- our cosplayer (although ive heard that shes tired of cosplaying already) well, another one who seems quiet but actually inside, she really wants to help the choir. shes always punctual if not early for anything choir-related and hey, when she leads, its amazing! i remember her leading warm ups once, and i was like wow! she is blooming into a wonderful girl and leader and im so glad that she is part of this commitee. thank you wai yi, and continue blooming into a woman we will all be proud of:)
deonn- haha, another super high one. im sure everyone, especially the alto 1s, know how passionate she is about choir. i know she always msgs the alto 1s as soon as we give the msg out and it really warms our hearts to know how efficient she is. she may not come up front very often, but im sure everyone knows how much she loves choir and that she really wants the choir to improve. thank you deonn, that even though u may not be very loud, but ur love and passion for choir shines through:)
nerissa- our super loud super star! well, i dont know where to begin. she doesnt have it easy, she is much more stress than she lets on, yet she still tries her best to learn all the songs and does all she can to help the choir. when she doesnt know the songs very well, she will ask me to stay back and help her. whenever the altos go off, she will tell me and ask me and percyner to tell the altos. she may not show it alot, but she cares soo much for the choir. thank you nerissa, that even though u have so many commitments, u still make time for choir and tries ur best to make this choir the best ever:)
melanie- hm...lets see. she is a really lovely girl who's really on for choir too, and she tries to do all that she can for it, so sometimes it comes across as proud or whatever. but she doesnt mean it, she just wants the best for choir. she always plays the piano for us and is always so high and enthu for choir that we become enthu too. i remember once, she and nicole were dancing when we were singing everything and it made all of us laugh. thank you melanie, for bringing us hapiness and for ur passion:)
nicole- mushroom girl! haha...the blur-est one of all, but we still love her. even though she can be super blur sometimes, she still tries her best to make the choir enthu by entertaining them. we can really see her passion and her want to make the choir more alive and we cant help but feel grateful and happy when we see it. thank you nicole, for everything- from ur mushroom songs to all the antics you do to make the choir more high:)
well, choir, u see what all ur leaders have done for you? they are all working so hard to make this choir better, but without u, its impossible. so will you work together with us, so that we can ,together, improve this choir and make it the best choir in the world? like i said, we can do it, but everyone needs to want to do it. everyone is essential in choir, we need everyone of u to be 100% passionate for choir to be able to do it. we are willing to work hard, are u willing to work hard with us? like perceyner likes to say, we are all in this together! so i'll leave it at this. do u all want a gold next year? more than that, do u want this choir to be the best, that when ppl hear kc choir they will go" wow...good choir"? becuase it is only with all of u wanting this that we can achieve all we dream of. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
