CCHMS CHOIR

Choir:

It's been awhile, people. Now. Things, may not be as smooth as you want it to be. But this always happens. It happens every year, when we all face attendance problems, standard drops, but at the end of the day, we always get to the top. We always succeed. But why is it that we always have to wait till the eleventh hour, then we start working hard?

Choir practices should never have been miserable. All of us should always be there to sing because we want to, and to learn because we want to, and never because we have to. We're all here for a reason. To play a part in this choir. And when you just joined as a Sec1, you came here because you think this choir's pretty good. You came here because you want to feel good too, belonging to a good choir. We may not be the best. No. We may not be the best yet. So each and every individual plays a vital role in contributing to this choir. Be it small or large extent, be it you're just a member or a committee member, who cares. You just give in. I mean, it's only fair that you contribute with everyone else.

It's not easy being the President, the Conductor, the Teacher, the Section Leader, or even the Member of the choir. It's never easy. But what, are you all just going to give this up?

Members: Stop relying on committee and Ms Yin to tell you things like, "Smile... Open your mouths... Pls come for choir practice... Pls don't be late" You should know these. You guys are not puppets, you guys know what to do, so do it. Don't just sit and wait for orders. Committee's not there to wipe your asses for you. You don't have to be a committee member to go the extra mile for the Choir. Your contributions, whether it's in a small/large extent, are also important to the Choir. So don't be afraid, just do it! Still, there's still this thing called Respect, so you do not rebel against the committee and Ms Yin.

Committee: You guys are the chosen ones, I believe you all know what to do. Even if you feel lost now, just do it. Just do what you think is good for the choir, and magic happens! Your confidence will bring you way further than where you are aiming for. Most importantly, work together. Not in clusters not in cliques. There are past experiences, and results are, it's so much harder to get things done in clusters than together.

I doubt whatever I say will inspire you that much, but just think about it. Think about why you're here in the first place. And just think about how much you've done for Choir. It's not too late to feel guilty whatsoever, seriously. Because if you do, the perfect time to start to buck up is now. For the SYF '09. For the Choir's future reputation. It all depends on you.

:) All the best, everyone!

Miss you all,
