choir was great yesterday. there is only one day of practice cos tuesday was a celebration for teachers day. the attendance was quite okay. at least sick/sore throat/cannot sing people bothered to come and sit at the back. there are more people than usual who sat at the back. i was one of them. my throat was just irritating me whenever i sing... :(!!!!
PS: while seating at the back, i cant really see what is the person(c0nductor) in front doing, i mean, i was listening, but sometimes when miss yin explains some things, i din catch it, although i stood up a while, i was too short!! =( so lesson learnt, find a perfect spot next time. (that perfect spot will only be at the first row, beside jieling).
i arrived before 245 i think. charmaine gave us some mint sweets for sore throat and sick people, thanks! then choir started with warmups. mun yee took the warm ups. she kept emphasizing on support. i felt that choir was a bit soft during the warmups. after some time, we did star jumps and started singing a song. if im not wrong, it was ocharaka? after a while, miss yin came. she seemed okay, then she commented something like, "choir sing until like that still wanna continue ar?" after that she continued us with some other warm ups, until we were warmed up.
we concentrated hard on ocharaka song, practicing it for almost the whole lesson, leaving i think the last half an hour-45mins for month of maying. for the ocharaka song, miss yin asked sop 1s to sing softer, and A1s to sing louder, cos apparently they had to live without qiaole. for sop 2 and sop 1, (for the conbined 1st part) miss yin wanted us to sing the notes correctly, especially the "ta ra" part with i think a A (or C) note cos that was mainly the part that we went too high, and she wanted us to erm, sort of land on the note properly and not poking the note as we reaches it.
after that miss yin was quite irritated by us, cos we cant sing those notes correctly, and she asked lim hui to take over sectionals for S1 and 2. i went over to sing, cos i probably found out that my voice was better, but unfortunately it wasnt. but i continued to sing anyways, sing real soft, and sometimes no sound comes out, blame it on my voice! during sectionals miss yin taught us a little bit on how to reach the note, and we improved! yay!
then i went back to sit down it was combined sections and everyone sang it quite perfectly i guess. then it was somehow a 5 mins break. during the break, they gave out consent forms to be handed in today, about the next week's workshop. everyone must come!!!!!
after the break, i went back to sing, in the first row, like finally. din care if my voice was working or not, just wanna concentrate. and i could somehow sing the month of maying better then ocharaka. is it cos of the vowels? i dunno. anyway, miss yin said our english pronunciation sounded more like chinese kind. hmmm...
after choir some anouncement were like, next year's syf place isnt confirmed yet, so we have to at least getour voices prepared, cos it would be somekinda not very sound contained environmnet, like our school hall, like somehow the sound just... escaped? like if ther are carpets and everyhing, they will absorb the sound. charmaine said that they'll sort out the attendance and late coming another day. and some seniors came back to visit, including jinyee and some other graduated seniors. charmaine asked them what will the teacher taking over the workshop be like. they said, BRING YOUR BRAINS. SO YEAH, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT...
so i guess that's about all. i a bit luo suo, so sorry XD
QIAOYUAN.
