ya, i guess i was typing with a hangover of some of those rapsberry ice thingy.
anyway, I think some people deserve some honorable mentions.... so here goes....
Luke Tan for suggesting, and actually carrying out the X-mas Gift Exchange. I think we can make this an annual thing!
oh, thanks for bringing the music room key home on 21Dec07. otherwise, we couldn't have entered the music room until ms gan came, which was like 45 min later...
BenSee for his input on the musicality [i.e.: criticisms]. Well, this is the only way we can improve ourselves.
Almost everyone for actually being present for almost all the practices. This is indeed a good
tradition which we should carry on into next year.
Joel Khoofor single-handedly selling
ntickets where
n >no. of tickets the others sold.
Non-SYF singers like Shawn Woo, Nishnathan, Yong Sheng, just to name 3. Although Yong Sheng didn't perform in the end, I think it's good to see that they come for practices, and regularly.
Jeremy Tan for always being the earliest, and the last to leave. [you friggin time-consumer. I have to lock up the room lorh!]
Alumni members! like Paul, Tim, Walter, Samuel. Very encouraging to see you guys at YMS yesterday [and the days before.]
and of course,
the teachers!!!Ms Deborah Gan had gone through lots of paperwork, brain crunching, and [in one word] trouble to make this concert possible. [and a success.]
Ms Jacinta Lim was still working on her birthday +the holidays just for us. She helped handle the tickets [which was a nightmare when numbers coming in are always jumping around... much like our quality of singing... always fluctuating]
Mr William Lim, our conductor, is conducting us for the last time
in the position of our conductor. He will still be coming in, although not as regularly, as a vocal coach.
Mr Albert Tay lost his voice on concert day itself, but that was not an excuse which he used for not conducting us. He carried on conducting us, even though he could have rested.
Same for "The Great Choral Sage" <-BenSee, consider trademarking this.
I mean
Ms Jennifer Tham. Earlier in the week, she lost her voice. [coincidence? no. it's the season.] However, she still gave her input and made the music making process enjoyable for all. and definitely, the music we sang sounded nice [except for the shouting... oops.]
Oh, and
CGS [yes, i'm using initials to prevent another typo.]. Sorry about the ticket error.... fixed in post on the brochure, though.... But nevertheless, I think they did well. By the way, for "Hark! The Bells are ringing", I really enjoyed that preview of the walk-in procession song. [hint. hint.]
