Come come come! People whose names are still listed on this blog (i.e. all the original Sec 1s) must never be emo! Whether or not you're now in Sop 2.
I understand that all of you who got changed to Sop 2 are feeling discouraged and shitty and stuff. But don't, alright? I know Alleluia is a difficult song, cause it took the original batch of us quite some time to learn it. But don't feel discouraged really, cause you'll be sure to get all the notes soon! And as I have already tagged, the subsequent warm-ups will be concentrating on how everyone in choir can learn to sing properly, in the correct voice placements, etc. So if you guys maybe work hard enough, then your voices will be more suitable for Sop 1 again and Ms Ong will shift you guys back up or something.
SO DON'T GIVE UP! One for all and all for one, I don't care whatever section you're in right now. If you were once in Sop 1 then yes, I will try to help. :D
And the remaining Sec 1s in Sop 1, please don't try to push your voice too hard. Just because our section is now smaller doesn't mean you have to push more alright? The more you push, the sharper we'll get.
The lone updater (still). Where on earth is Juniperper! D:
Teryne.
Shucks, now I feel that the "Premium Membership" (so cliche) part of the template is horribly not up-to-date, what with the shifting of sections that some people had. Oh well, I shall update that part when the Sop 2s have updated their members section. :)
Alright then, to the reminders (not many, I hope)!
1. Practice on this coming Thursday is
optional for all Sec 1s as it'll be a farewell for our previous conductors and well, you guys don't know the previous conductors. So stay at home and I dunno, eat chocolates? :)
2. Sec 2s/3s, be reminded to bring
$5 for your choker and
$6 for the Happening Happenings T-shirt (if you ordered) on Thursday. Sec 1s, I suppose you guys can pay when school reopens.
3. Gowns to be brought back (I don't know by when). Remember, it has to be
DRY-CLEANED!
Enjoy what remains of your "holidays"! :) And brace yourselves for a hell of a semester-to-come! :(
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been pretty withdrawn from blogging for the past couple of days/weeks. Anyway, a few of you have requested the next choir dates to be put up, plus there seems to be a concert to promote so yes. To the typing I shall go.
Next choir practices!:
16 June - Seminar RoomWe'll be having our voice assessment (I'm not really sure what it's about), followed by combined rehearsal as usual.
19 June - Communicative Arts Room/Language LabMs Tham and Mr Tay, our previous conductors, ought to be coming on this day so I doubt we'll be having any proper practice. Gosh, I'm so so so looking forward to seeing them!:D
Now, concert promotion.
Date:
25th JuneTime: 7.15pm
Venue:
Esplanade Recital StudioPerformers: St. Hilda's Secondary School choir and Vox Camerata (an adult's choir) + 2 student pianists.
Tickets:
$20 eachI suppose for those who are interested in going, you are to approach Tabitha, since she's the one with all the concert details.
Is that all? Yes, I do think that is all. Now all of you go be good children and finish up your homework and revise and read up on the coming semester's chapters! Don't be a bad sheep like me and leave everything to the last minute. :D
Cheers, Teryne.
Man, someone else has got to update this blog too you know! So those who want to update, please ask me for the username and password cause I'm convinced that you all forgot already.
Anyway, last night's concert was the bomb. You all did a wonderful job (better than me, anyway). I am especially proud of the Sec 1s because really, you guys have improved since the beginning of the year. All you need to do now is support more and I dunno, decrease the amount of air you release when you sing? And TUNE! Even if we're not sharp, we have to tune with others and go sharp/flat with the other sections so that the audience won't cringe or whatever. A good choir is a choir that can sing without going sharp/flat, but a choir that can go sharp/flat together is a better one! :D
You guys have a long-long break before the next choir practice, so rest well yeah? And also do all your homework and study for Semester 2. With any luck, one of the 2 practices we're having this month ought to be rather slack cause it'll be... Fun, perhaps? I dunno.
AND OMG I LOVE IRELAND! (Jumps happily.)
