MY MEMORIES
Tuesday, May 08, 2007
The journey for nj choir has definitely not been a smooth one. In briefly these few months, we have gone thru extremes...the drastic ups and downs in not juz our performance but also our morale, spirit etc. It has been a journey of challenges, not juz technical and musical challenges, but most importantly, emotional and mental challenges, coupled with the fact that competition between jc choirs hv been very tough. Thus facing constant pressure from other choirs become quite inevitable.
Within these months, many of our morales hv been shaken badly before, our spirits had reached a all-time low. However we managed stay firm, and its the notion tt each of us are trying hard to improve constantly really touches me. For today, though the nervousness in our hearts is hard to contain, we managed to transfrom tt nervousness into excitement, to throw in all tt we hv for a fabulous and impressive performance that we know we will not regret even when we juz stepped down from the stage. I was particularly worried about my dear section, but they proved tt my worries were unneccessary; their first 4 notes were simply clear and bright. and not juz tt...the rest of the performance was smoothly delivered. of cuz that applies to the rest of the choir too, it was really much better than i expected. For everything performance onstage, u might think tt my attitude is abit 消极 but i always expect some room left for imperfections, and this is the first time i realised i shouldnt hv expected too much room for imperfections. Why cant the best of us be delivered onstage? :)
i say with regrets i have not been with most of nj choir to wait for results in school. it mus hv been a great experience to be with the choir, exploding in happiness together when the gd news are announced. haha but being at the 现场 to listen to results is quite a different experience too. the 3 of us are sorta representative nj to cheer for our dear choir, smth tt we would love to do so.
i cant wait for friday when choir will stand in front of the school in assembly, bowing to the sch to the long-awaited line,
"Presenting to you, NJC choir- GOLD WITH HONOURS."
(back to reality tmr. the school work i hafta catch up are piling up)
