Greetings choir mates. SYF will be here very soon, and judging from the sound that was produced today at VCH, I would say that we still have a long way to go. I feel that we aren't giving our best at all, I believe we can all do better than this. I'm pretty unhappy that mistakes(eg. pitching etc) that have already been corrected keep coming back, despite the amount of time spent fixing it. Put yourself in our conductor's shoes, would you feel irritated facing the problems again and again and again during choir every practices? Its like stepping back to yesterday everytime you wake up, the same things keep happening and things that have been done are undone. This only makes the practices sluggish and dull cos' basically we are doing the same things over again. Let's not succumb to this type of atitude anymore which i confess, i do sometimes. Let's be really focused on parts during practices. We may not get everything perfect but at least we get something meaningful done. Let's put a stop to this half-assed singing and really give our all. I must say, I'm quite happy with those of you who are starting to show great concern for choir, keep it up! Together we shall bring up the standard of choir and uphold it proudly!

Tip: When practicing at your own private time, try conducting with your hands infront of you, follow the dynamics, this give expression to your singing. i don't know if it works for you but it does for me. =)

Regards,
Anginn
