heyyos choir!
I would like to remind y'all that we have less than NINE practices left till concert. less than 9 is because on the week of concert, sec2s have ROCs in malaysia, and sec3s have OBS.
so therefore, please go and learn the 2 sister act songs and Let it Shine on your own, and familiarise yourself at least with the layout of the pieces. all competition pieces to be memorised by next week, can? with dynamics and all articulation to be in, plus text. if you have any problems, you better go look for your SLs and ASLs. go ask eli, ruth, yannting.
it's the last stretch of the race, where you really need to focus and head straight for the finish line, but it doesnt just stop there with concert, but you'd still have the momentum to carry through to Tour. and I really hope that we can strive for that. sec1s and other new members, I know this is a very steep climb, and that you'd be nervous for your first ever concert with the mgchoir, but just focus now, and learn up the pieces. cause on concert day, when everyone's so high and yet nervous, you have no time to think about your notes, you just go. and after concert, you dont want to have that feeling that 'I could have done better than that". No. You would want to just give everything on stage. for a fact, you dont just give 100% in choir practice. you give 110%, so that on concert day, you have allowance for other stuff, and then you'd be at 100% during performance. but for now, focus on the pieces, because now is the time to make mistakes, and the time to fix them. We're on the sprinting lane now. all you gotta do is go for it.
so in conclusion, let's give this all we got. if we know that we can do better than this, then just go for it, and do it better. this is no time to hope that your voice would blend in with the stronger people in the section. it's the time for you to step up yourself. if everyone were to sing out, and not be afraid to sing out, think of what we could be like.
take the hint.
