DAY 2:

Whoo! Just came back from the NJ choir concert, "Cantabile XXI: Celebration!".
To sum up their concert in a sentence: A delightful and well executed show!
Naturally, there were some minor pitch problems but other than that, their musicality and showmanship was almost impeccable. Well done to them!
Now I know why they got Gold with honours in this year's SYF... :)
Ok ok, I should not be to liberal in my compliments and doing all this advertising for the NJ choir. But on a more reflective note, their concert tonight strangely made me think about our choir as a whole.
To compare us to other JC choirs (like HCI, AC and VJ ), as Mr Toh said before, is not really fair. This is because our choir is probably the smallest JC choir in Singapore with more than half of us having no prior choral training. And that in some sense, makes us "unique" and sets us apart (neither in a bad or good way) from the powerhouse choirs.
Yet, to watch others who are better and try to be more like them in terms of their skill and discipline is also a good thing (well, at least that's my stand). It is in this way that we are able to see our mistakes and improve ourselves. Not that I'm implying we should copy other choirs' styles entirely, (that would be foolish and un-original as each choir is different and the style of each choir is not a "one-size-fits-all" scenario), but rather we should try to learn and adapt some of their ways to fit our choir.
I know it sounds complicated and maybe even stupid but hey, I that's my take on things... So sue me if you've got a problem with that.

Tomorrow's the 1st of June. The 1st day of the Festa Choralis Bratislava 2007 (for those who do not know, that's the name of the competition our choir is participating in). And our choir will be performing at the opening ceremony in a few hours time...
So, I wish all of you there (if you're reading this) all the best and hope that you all will make a good first impression on the audience and judges! And for those who are curious, I found a link that gives more info on the event [click HERE]. Our choir is under group E2 if I'm not mistaken... Anyway, JIAYOUS people! ;)

God bless,
QG
