revival.

HELLO GUYS ;D

this is tohmingxin your ex alto sl, just in case you dont know who I am.

okay, so the choir is not in very good shape righhht.

(or so ive heard)

nevertheless, ive been encouraged to post, instead of tag so pardon my invasion too haha.anyway, I dont rly knw much about the situation in the whole choir, perhaps more about the altos?sorry but this will be a more-alto post sorry ah, i love the other parts of choir too.......just that i love altos more hahaha, what do you expect an alto sl to do manz?

Zokay so anyway Altos altos altos my dear altos:we used to be a very, Extremely bonded part of the choir.

we had our own differences, but we settled it out well in the end.

we didnt like certain people at the start, but we meshed well in the end.

we werent really on form 24/7, but we pulled through in the end.

However, fr the altos now, I dont think your 'ends' are v near, in fact I heard,

and Im sorry to say this(:/), that you guys are far from being near the ends.

The altos I knew were superduper cooperative, they put up wiv whatever nonsense I had fr them, they respected their fellow members, seniors, and all levels of authority, and they totally ruled my world, I even miss them up tillnow (:

So can we pleaze continue the CCHMS alto spirit by buttoning up our first collar button and do silly things together: laugh as one, cry as one, win as one.

my dear sec1 juniors: you dont know me but I do know you( :) ), yes each and everyone of you, please do heed my advice and continue to take things seriously in choir okay. Keep up the good job and look forward to choir, instead of finding it a chore(which i did last time, im wrong and guilty i know pls forgive me :x), youll learn to realise that choir is such a fun place to be in.(!)

keep the alto spirit burning, cuz CCHMS choir is in fr a big revival, Im waiting fr the GOLD or GWHs fr your next SYF okay, maybe I'll see you guys soon!

I luv the altos :D

(yar, and the whole choir as well luh)

sec1s &altos who are not in the photo just slot yourselves somewhere in the alto family portait,

keep altos gelled and bonded okay,

cuz thats what we're supposed to be and will always be {:

Adieu Sweet Amarilis - by CCHMS CHOIR


:)

Thanks for the Farewell Party, we sure had fun today :D The singing of the songs (Everyone Sang, Little Birds, Sinten, Agnus Dei, etc) brought back so much great memories. The SYF 07, the December Concert last year....

Time sure flies, I never thought I would have a Farewell Party for us so soon. I remember when we just auditioned to this choir, when we were just juniors who had no idea what support was and would sleep or talk occasionally during boring sectionals (okay please don't do this), when we from this Choir, grew up. Things here in Choir are full of ups and downs, yet it's from all these where we get those best memories.

Sigh, there has to be a time when we part with the Choir. But the cliche stuffs repeat here~ Physically we're no longer there, but emotionally and spiritually, yeah we're still there. Lol the journey for us Sec4s doesn't end here. The singing will never be done~!

Thank you Ms Yin, for being there for the Choir even when things don't go well. Thanks for holding on to us not letting us go, and not giving us up. Although we all miss Mr Lai and Mr Low as our conductors, but now, CCHMS Choir is your choir. In our eyes the only conductor we saw has been you. We all have been looking up upon you, as one who has been with the Choir through thick and thin, and as someone we've learned many things from-- singing techniques etc and also values. We salute you! The practices we had with you were great, really. We will definitely remember all the things we've learned in this choir and some of us will continue to be a chorister when we head on to JC/poly :)

Thank you Ms Ng & Mr Loh, for doing so much so the Choir. You guys have been supporting the Choir and also teaching us many important stuffs, techniques as well as keeping the right attitudes. We are truly thankful that you two teachers are always more than willing to contribute to this Choir. Best teacher-in-charges ever!!! :D

Last but not least, thank you Choir, for the times we shared in our practices and sectionals and workshops and concerts and SYF. You guys truly have the potential. Don't care about whether people think you can't make it or whatever crap. TRUTH IS, YOU ALL HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GOLD-CLASS CHOIR. Hello, we managed a Gold last year. Next prize has to be Honours. No way am I gonna hear anyone say it's impossible. It's only impossible if you think it is. Please everyone, work hard for it. The sense of achievement you'll get just feels so good. Be and stay determined to succeed with whatever you guys do-- workshops, concerts, competitions, etc. You will be surprised with the results with full determination and commitment. Quantity is secondary, quality is primary. Make us good enough for people to JOIN us, instead of making the whole school audition for the choir with 90% unwilling. You guys gotta prove yourselves. And you can! Yesterday's workshop, you guys proved it! Well done for yesterday, people! :) Don't be complacent, though. CONCERT!! Be sure that you guys make this concert a blast, so good that it's worth more than every cent the audience pay. Be the outstanding aesthetic group, be the "WOW" choir, and impress.

Choir #56 returns! :)



-Sec Fourzx

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,

Natalie, x-prez
