We Sang Together; they Heard Us Sing. (yes I know, very cold.)
Heyo, Ms Yin here. I realised I was typing similar messages to various students, so I thought I'd just put it here for everyone.
I received feedback and comments for today's concert - that the singing was off at certain places, the sound could be better, the chords weren't tight enough, and a buncha other stuff (They're all true by the way. Moving forward, let's aim to eradicate all possibility ever hearing a repeat of those comments and feedback ya?). But as I listened to them speak, I felt indignant and quite protective over you guys. Not because they are not valuable feedback, but because they did not see or hear you a month ago. Or even a week ago, and their judgement was made only based on absolute terms; on what they heard today. But when I heard you today, all I could feel was pride.
For the very fact that you were all on that stage together, singing your hearts out and following my conducting as closely as possible, and you didn't sound half bad. Particularly for the evening concert, I felt you actually sing the music, not the notes, as one choir, not as sections. It was a very moving scene. It's not often a conductor gets to watch his/her own choir performing, as an audience, and I was very glad I had this opportunity. Beauty and the Beast was really Beautyful, and not at all beastly. (Gaston, you made me laugh every. single. time. Beauty and Beast, it was really something sweet.) Seeing each and every one of you on that stage, hearing you sing the Beauty and the Beast theme song, it occurred to me how far you have all come as individual singers and as a choir in the last year (or for some, the last few weeks).
Girls, I must thank you for being ever so consistent and unwavering. You bring so much stability to the choir.
Guys, I must thank you for not giving up. You have improved a thousand percent, particularly in the last few weeks, and it is commendable. Please keep it up. And don't just grin in front of your computer screen and forget the words you've just read.
All in all, it's been a pleasure conducting you guys today. I'm looking forward to repeating this line again many more times to come.
See you all on Wednesday!
Cheers,
Ms Yin

AUDITE NOS SONO ROCKED! :D
All our hard work and efforts have finally paid off, and I hope you people really enjoyed yourselves. So this is what we've been working for months and maybe even years, and we've finally got it!
Hope that this concert really sparked off your true love and passion for this choir and please come back to reality that SYF is just months away!
Will see you people on Wednesday, and please hand in all your ticket money also hahaha.
And someone left a bag full of things at the backstage so please claim it on Wednesday too.
And sec1s and newcomers please prepare to pay for your costumes, and everyone please pay for your necklaces and ties cos we owe Miss Yin alot of money okay.
We'll start working full force towards the SYF and attain the recognition we deserve (which is definitely possibly higher than gold ^^) so please continue your passion and enthusiasm!
Christina :D

Hi, Nat here if you can still remember me :) Just some encouragement here, won't kill to listen :)
You guys have to make this concert a blast. The audience out there are paying to watch a Gold choir perform. You have to show off that Gold quality in this Choir, and you are gonna do it. This is a chance for you guys to bring up the whole Choir morale.
Concerts usually boost the morale, so give it your all, and then strive to earn that Gold for SYF 09. Yo, Gold is never an easy thing. The whole having-a-gold-for-syf trend in CCHMS Choir used up loads and loads of hardwork, sweat, tears, and sacrifices. You guys have the potential for Honours too okay. All it takes is hardwork, cooperation and really... sacrifice.
Sacrifice for this Choir, and be willing to give your all. This way, when you leave CCHMS you'll never forget this Choir. Because when you look back and see your sacrifices were paid off, that satisfaction in you will be so great it's indescribable.
The comm and you people have been improving tremendously and nothing should bring you guys down now, when concert is just 6 days away. Concerts and competitions have never been destinations for Choir. They are part of your journey in Choir here. So after this concert, anticipate for the SYF. Not "Phew it's over time to slack". It's "Next up, SYF 09. Gold!"
The Gold may be for the school, for the reputation blahblah. But ultimately, it's for you. The efforts you guys put in must be fully paid off, and duh you have to get the Gold then.
ALL THE BEST, CCHMS CHOIR! :) You guys have great potential. I want to see it on 13th Nov, and so will everybody else there :)
Ah feels so great to say all these again.... I miss you guys!
