Assume today is Wednesday.
So I guess most of us were annoyed with this teacher, (lets call her) Ms Green.
In fact we still are. After what she wrote on the handbell room board yesterday.
After she wanted to use our newly-built cupboards for her stuff.
Ms Ting, Goh and Mrs Wong were like shaking their heads after they saw the board and heard our complaints, hahah. Is that good or what.
The so-called concert was not very well-organised. Whoops.
Started late, ended late. And no refreshments for the students! How can! My stomach was growling throughout the thing la! So was Dora's! -.-
Yes, our seniors came! I should make a correction, the alumni came!
:D =D
But we didn't talk. Cos' no time. Busy! =(
Except the mlfcp, Wen Xin and Melissa who were playing around in the handbell room.
(going to use the word 'good' a lot)
I felt that...
Band: Their piece is majestic. I like the percussion and woodwind sections! Ok and the brass also. Meaning, I like the whole band -_-" I thought they were really good! The control of dynamics, good! There were some parts which made my hair stand on its ends, dunno why. I'm sure we want them to get a gold award and break their record. It has been dunno how many consecutive silvers la. PL Concert Band, jiayou!!
Guitar: Erm, this one, I'm not too sure. Was listening backstage in an uncomfortable position, with my ear glued to the door. I think there's a lot of room for improvement! Otherwise how to get gold.. Mr Fong said they have to move along to the 2nd song. Guitar Ensemble, all the way!!
Harp: My favourite performing arts group! After handbells. Well. They are a bit stiff. Lol. I prefer the 2nd piece to the first. Honestly speaking... I can't remember how the first one sounds like! The arrangement of the pieces hen hao.. They play it out, even better. Except there's one part the notes were not together. Harps are so angelic. I dunno about the harpists :P Heh heh PL Harp Ensemble, Gold with HONOURS okay!
Dance: WAH this one very energetic. Ten times better than the SYF dance 2 years ago. Chop. If they don't get anything above a silver, they ought to be murdered because the dance studio is right beside the handbell room which is used for music lessons and CCA, and their music is FOREVER BOOMING AWAY. TSK! Until we cannot hear our own music from the CD player! Then when we send someone over to tell them to lower the volume, they don't like it. !@#$%^ Or maybe it's just the instructor. But we're taking O'levels leh, music is one of the subs, so it's important that we don't get disturbed by what's going on next door. Anyway, my point is, don't get another COP!
Drama: They're damn good! I say so because I can't act. Bleh. It was sad that the girl didn't wake up from the coma and the mother was like blaming herself all the time. Hahaha. I don't think the audience sitting all the way up could hear them. I could hear everything cos' handbellers were in the 1st row, lousy seats but good sound -.- Go ELDDS!
Choir: Right. Honestly, I got bored after the 1st piece. Sorry. The piano sucks, that affects the choir! Sorry again, cos' I prefer the altos... the sopranos sounded a lil' airy/throaty. Haha. Overall, the choirsters did great! They looked confident. I hope they can maintain the gold and do PL proud again. Some are saying that they won't be able to even get a silver. I beg to differ. With the S'pore Youth Choir conductor, they can do better than that a silver standard. 3 cheers for Choir!
Guzheng: The judges had no negative comments leh!! Fabulous, as usual. They moved as one. breathed as one, all very focused on the conductor. Same thing... dynamics were very contrasting and that shows that they can do both ff and pp! I dunno why they still kena scolded. Guzheng tuan needs to learn from handbells when it comes to being cheerful! They are like forever strict about everything.. Their teachers = O_O. Handbellers, however, are always getting praises from our teachers-in-charge and instructor, = build confidence = play better, less mistakes and all. Sure get honours one lor. PL Guzheng Tuan will definitely bring back another GwH!
Handbells.. I'm not that sure we can get one. I know we still have a lot to improve on. Not as great as Mr Fong claims. We need more critics.
So that's the mini SYF.
We had a rehearsal at S'pore Conference Hall yesterday...
Details, go read Man Ling's blog! EVERYTHING's there.
I'm lazy to blog down the same thing.
I remember everything about the 2005 SYF.
Was made to serve the SYF-ers, among them was half of my batch.
I didn't like the treatment... So we're making sure the sec 1s and 2s don't go through what we (ly ml hl me) went through.
Love them, thank them, let them know they're important and they're not 'outcasts' just because they're not playing for the competition!
Don't let history repeat itself.
So touched by Wen Xin and Wan Yi's commitment to handbellzzzz!
They even went to support and help us yesterday, even though it was damnit late.
They're really very nice leh! (are you gan dong?)
This is public, right? Neverrrrrmind, I'll still type this out.
The sec 4 non-exco members and the treasurer are not very happy with the sec 3s.
Some of their attitude just sucks, sorry. That's how we feel.
Basically everything is summarised here:
We have not even stepped down yet and their actions send a signal -- we can leave already, they can take over the CCA and run it on their own, they don't need us.
I don't think we did this to the sec 4s in 2006, did we?
Sounds extreme... But we really cannot tolerate it.
It's late and I'm supposed to be doing "Independent Learning" and then completing this piece of
