♥THEODORE

I know this is a bit overdue, but it's never too late.

First of all, my heartiest CONGRATULATIONS to all of us! WE DID IT!!! I just wanna say that I rejoice with all of you, and cried tears of joy with you as the results were announced. I have seen each and every single one of you putting in your heart and soul especially at the last leg, and your hard work has paid off. Many of you have even sacrificed your favourite spicy food, just because of this. Let me assure you all once again that all these sacrifices were worth it, and you have seen the result for yourselves.

I have mentioned before, the end of our competition does not mark the end, but rather the beginning of another cycle. And the new cycle starts NOW!

While we are rejoicing in our achievement, not to be a wet blanket, but allow me to warn all of us not to rest on our laurels (i.e. be complacent). Because there is still much more we need to learn for us to enter the international arena! It's my vision for our choir to look beyond SYF and to meet real good international choirs and choristers. Thus, we need to continue to brush up on our foundation.

But still, I wanna thank every single one of you for your committment to the choir. Especially to the seniors for rising up to the occasion. You all have impressed me so so much! (To my Sec 1-3s, you have a lot to learn from the Sec 4-5s in terms of leadership!) Of course, not forgetting our instructor Ms Jayme and choir teacher-in-charge Miss Ng. Without them, we would not have achieved what we did!

Really, words can't express how grateful and how proud I am of every single one of you!

Please have a fruitful next few practices for Speech Day. Remember, do not rest on your laurels and get complacent! And after Speech Day, it's time to FOCUS ON YOUR STUDIES!!!

Alright... thats' all from me...

ONE CHOIR, ONE VOICE!

Miss Chua.

Our battle is over.

The hard work we've all put in, will be known tomorrow.
Congratulations Juying Secondary Choir.
We have succeeded in conquering our SYF fear.
Thank you all, thank you for the hard work put in.
Thank you for the love you have all put in together.

Last of all,

Do not be sad at what we get, or what they comment about.

You've all done your best, you all deserve your rest.

My last few postings before I hand this blog over to someone who can update this regularly.
I just want you to know that we, the seniors, really appreciate the hard work put in.
For that, please give yourselves eleven claps.
We love all of you, okay ?
Keep up the hard work.

Do remember Ms. Chua's words ;

" Finishing SYF is NOT the Ending, it is the beginning of a New Cycle. "

Also, the countdown timer at the top has finished. I've been timing all along. At 2PM sharp, the timer went 0:00:00, and became ;

" Its time for an award! SYF 2009! "

Remember, Theodore loves all of you :D ♥

I'm also prepared to cry with everyone tomorrow.

Thank you Ms. Jayme, for all the conducting and hard work you've put in! Thank you so much.

♥ Ms. Jayme Buk, Conductor of Juying Secondary Choir.

We have exactly 18 hours 00 minutes until our SYF!


JUYING SECONDARY WE CAN DO IT ! CHOIR! IT IS FINALLY OUR TIME TO SHINE!
Please LISTEN to MS. JAYME'S SECRET WEAPON! Do not neglect it.


We've been working so hard, its time to reap what we sow !

Our ' baby ' will be born tomorrow, so let us work hard !

We'll receive our ' baby ' on Thursday, 16 April 2009!

Good Luck, and Work Hard! ♥

AWARDS

The Central Judging provides the opportunity for choirs to benchmark their performance standards. There is no pre-determined number of gold, silver or bronze awards. Participating choirs will be awarded certificates based on their performances as follows:

• Gold 80% and above
• Silver 70% to 79%
• Bronze 60% to 69%
• Certificate of Participation 59% and below

To recognise the outstanding achievement of choirs that have attained high performance standards, schools that obtain a final mark of 85% and above will receive the Gold award (with Honours).

Let us work hard ! We're at the final lap, we can do it !

Remember, we are the FIRST CHOIR to perform on the FIRST DAY OF CHOIR SYF! Let us do the school proud, and bring back something memorable ! I want to cry tears of joy on 17th of April 2009 ! I do not want to cry tears of sadness, so let us all cry together to celebrate instead of weeping ! Okay?! Lets do it !

Firstly, I wanna touch upon these few things.


1. Our million-dollar smile ! This is very crucial !
Musicianship, one of the criteria is Expressions! Remember, smile, and with your eyes!

2. Our mouth ! It must ALWAYS be open. OPEN! :O [YES] NOT CLOSE! :l [NO]!

3. Eyes! Always on Ms. Jayme. No eyes should EVER wander away.

4. Please, although practice is hard.. think of it like this.

The other Choirs have not gotten the beat! We got it! So, work hard on this part where we have not mastered yet :

" The wind is their master, he musters and drives, his team of white .... "

This is VERY VERY CRUCIAL for the ending of White Horses.

Do not let our score go below 59%. Make it stay at 20%.

TIPS & TRICKS :

1. Stand straight! Be confident! Shoulders pulled back!

2. Your feet should stand shoulders length apart.

3. Mouth, ALWAYS OPEN!

4. Don't rush, make sure you follow every single move of Ms. Jayme!

5. Remember our secret technique at the end of White Horses ! Do it well!

6. I want to stress on this, no dairy, chilli, e.t.c.! Please control yourselves.

7. Our White Horses is mastered quite well! Do well, and come back proud!

There is no room for embarassment. There is only room for pride.

Let us Seniors leave with pride, and I know I will miss everything we've done together. I really, really hope that this last performance with the Seniors ( for now ) is really meaningful. These past 4 months of 2009, has been of much love and fun with the Choir. I really don't want this spirit to end !

I take this opportunity to thank all the Sec 1's who work so hard for the SYF!

For that, I give them 11 claps each.

I hope to come back one day, and see all of you standing tall and proud.

WE CAN DO IT ! LET US GO THROUGH THIS TOGETHER ! ODE TO JOY !

♥THEODORE

*P.S: Thank you Choir, for letting us Seniors enjoy our last few months together in Choir! We really love you all a lot, so lets do this together! Gee, this makes me want to cry, haha!

Also! One last thing,

please do NOT fall sick.

Some people have already fallen sick, I know, please take care ! Cough, flu, sore throat, cure them !


And I have some pictures of todays Choir practice !

To all Sectional Leaders :

Practice hard with your members ! Ths is our last lap, our final leg, our miracle ! It is the time to SHINE ! Let us all do our best, and come back with the greatest achievement ever ! Work hard, Play hard ! The Rockies motto works the best here !
