don't stress don't stress, but have a sense of URGENCY:D

you can ask the SLs/SCs/pretty much anybody for help if you need any.

Hey everyone!

I have an announcement to make...AHEM!!

The MGS choir has done us proud yet again. The choir representing us in Russia have taken part in the Sacred and Children's Category, yesterday and today respectively, under Ms J Tham and Mr A Tay respectively. They have attained a GOLD result in BOTH categories!!

To God Be The Glory!

Love,
eli

HEY (non-touring) CHOIR~

russia's great. MISSING YOU ALL.

we've done touring and rehearsals the past few days, and a combined rehearsal/exchange with a vocal ensemble as well as a concert with them.

another concert today, and we're competing tomorrow and the day after.

st petersburg is very very pretty. it's getting colder by the day and I love it:)

yeah just thought I'd give you guys an update.

~~~~

to the touring choir:
I'M REALLY PROUD OF ALL OF YOU.

and remember to be at the lobby by 10.30am.

HEY CHOIR!!! =D

I know majority of us will be in Russia now, but...nevermind! To all those in Russia, if you get to see this in time, ALL THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU! I am SO proud of all of you! You really sounded quite good at the practices last week. Trust in God, and I'm sure you'll all do well. VERY WELL. =D Haha, ya know, when I was at the airport to send you all off on Saturday, I felt so out of place!!! Like, you guys have grown so much, I had no duty there anymore! OH NO!! Alumni, HERE WE COME! =D I don't know how the other Sec 4s feel about it, but though it will be SO sad, change is not that bad....is it? AHEMFAREWELLAHEM!!!

Anyways, choir, do us proud, kay? All of the choir in Singapore probably are all ripping our guts apart in worry, so...and, BTW, doing us proud does not mean getting a Gold or anything like that. Just means that you've gotta do your best, and glorify God.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!

ps. my posts are getting shorter and shorter....

HEYYY CHOIR!
WE'RE FLYING OFF TONIGHT.
I still cant believe it.
haha dont forget anything kays, apparently it's raining in russia now, it's gonna be so cold.
but even in our excitement, dont lose sight of why we're going there in the first place.
we're not going on holiday.
it's a whole new experience, to be singing somewhere else in the world that we wouldnt normally do in singapore.
I hope that we will conduct ourselves well, and sing to our very best, and give the audience a reason to go WOW.
we sing for the love of the music. enjoy the sound. after all, we are a choir, as a choir, we make music. as a choir, we sing together, celebrate together, and put in all the effort we can.
remember the goals that we set for ourselves yesterday during practice.
dont lose sight of them.

I'll see y'all at the airport tonight.
adios amigos!

xDDDD

hope you all are as excited as I am to be going to russia.
it's the last stretch, so we gotta pull ourselves together and just put in all the effort we can, which I know is a lot. xDD. we just gotta focus now.

reminders:
-wednesday, thursday, friday, we have full day choir practices. on thursday the penang choir is coming, so be neatly attired.
-please go learn the russian score, make sure you are able to sing in russian by the wednesday practice i.e. tomorrow
-all scores to be memorised, details all put in.
-bring the 2 chinese new year pieces tmr, and to russia


oh yeahh... recently i've been watching this show called britain's got talent. and this year they've got a lot of good acts. this is just one of them that was quite surprising.
wanted to embed it here, but couldnt, so here's the link if you're interested.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QHk4n7mhe8
btw, they made it to the finals.
from the video you can see that they really like singing, and in the face of the judges, they proved that they were good enough to pass to the next round.
so what can we learn? we learn that we have to just put our whole heart into singing, and just give it all we got.

xPPP
