CCHMS CHOIR

Hey Choir:
Hope you had fun today at the Sec 4 Farewell Party, but a new school term starts next week and it's really time we started bucking up for the concert, 'cos this could really make or break our chance to go overseas. We should have started bucking up long ago, but it's not too late to do your share right now.
It would be a waste of time to talk about poor attendance and attitudes, because I'm sure Miss Lim mentioned all of that at our workshop yesterday. So I hope you guys see how much we affect others, and choir doesn't just concern ourselves, but others as well. Take pride in choir, no matter how much others might look down on you. Guys, no doubt people will say that choir is a sissy CCA for guys to join, but throw all such thoughts to the wind - Singing isn't a crime. Girls, understand that the comments that conductors and leaders provide are really for your own good (like what your mother says); if we don't even know where we go wrong, we'll never improve, like it or not. Don't take what we say as a personal attack. If we say anything that offends you, we're sorry, but we really have to move on.
Realise that not only our reputations and prides are at stake, think of our seniors, and Miss Ng, and Mr Loh, and Miss Yin. Think of Mr Low. We want them to be proud of our choir. And we want to be able to hold our heads high when we proudly declare that we are from choir. Choir will be every bit as important as CO and Band, but do you all have the determination to succeed?
Let's not use our attendance as an excuse for our far-from-stellar performance (because we could do so much better) right now, because we really have to learn how to survive even with smaller numbers. It's small, but if we're powerful, no doubt we'll still be as good as any other humongous choir outside.
Lastly, be aware that the choir will not tolerate the spreading of unnecessary rumours. Please get your priorities right. Know that we have no use for such people in choir. We need people with the correct mindsets to constantly learn and improve, as well as their very own passion for singing.

Don't break any more hearts, choir! (:
