Sing from the heart
dream from the soul
Saturday, May 30, 2009 / 10:48 PM

People,
discipline has alright lately, but attitude has been terrible.

You guys may be sick of hearing us repeating this all the time, but SYF is not everything.
It does not mean that after SYF, we have all the time to slack slack and slack till the next one. It does not mean that we give in our best, only for SYF. SYF is not the only goal we are working towards to. Please remember that.

"Music is a universal language
taking all our differences away
And when we stand together singing
We are all the same."
- A song for every season

We love singing.
Isnt that why we are all in choir?
CANTARE!
For music, for art, for growth. Not purely for SYF.
I think we have all forgotten that.

And please,
do not let SYF kill your love for the art of singing. Your body language and attitude are screaming, "SYF OVER! CAN SLACK! WOOHOO!!! CAN HECK CARE CHOIR OREDI!"
and some are, "Aiya.. sing sing sing for what? So tiring, cant even sit down..sianxz.." and
"Such a waste of time.. so boring.. Zzzz."

Worst, "Go choir also learn nothing, receives scolding onli lor.."

People, how can we even cultivate our love for singing with attitude like that? No, we are not only cultivating our love for singing, but also mature as a person and a better singer.

Sing from the heart,
Dream from the soul.
We are not singing notes, but expressing the soul of the song. And our souls too.

With angst but with more love,
W.

Things to take note:

1. If you're unable to attend any of these practices, please inform your respective SL and ASL beforehand. A parent's letter is required.

2. Unless of course, you're ill. If you fall sick on any of the days above, please telephone your respective SL or ASL. Bring a Medical Certificate to the next practice.

3. If you're going overseas and are missing any of these practices, kindly inform your respective SL and ASL. Bring your passport or a photocopy of it to the next practice for your SL to check.

4. The choir camp is not an overnight camp. So please don't get the wrong idea.

5. Secondary 4 students are only required to attend the Combine practices.

6. On 1/6, Monday, there will be O level examinations taking place. So please cooperate with the committee members and minimise the noise level as you guys move out of the AVA to your respective sectional venue. Oh, and don't slam the AVA door.

7. Don't forget to bring your scores, stationery and water bottle!

8. Don't forget to bring back your scores, stationery and water bottle. The fining system is still in place.

9. Be on your best behaviour at all times. Discipline is very important.

10. Since the choir camp is still being planned, why don't we help the sec 3s in brainstorming for ideas? If any of you have any suggestions for the choir camp, feel free to tell any of the committee members.

Last but not least, all the best to our seniors taking the "O" level paper on Monday! :D

Lol,
