Hi PLOV.
Okay so I'm posting this prior to our combined rehearsals tmrw.
Do take note of certain things.
Er,
I've been told that we looook so 'dead' when we sing.
So, the following picture might probably help some of you in your singing.
&I promise it will help.

Like every senior has told us before,
we're going to remind you again.
OPEN YOUR MOUTHS AND YOUR EYES, LIFT YOUR CHEEKS AND LIFT EVERYTHING,
USE YOUR ABS, YOUR BUTT MUSCLES..ETC
You should've known all these by now since we nag a lot, some of you claim. :)
Next.
When you find out that you do not know what a particular musical term means.
By all means, find it out when you go home or when you are on the net.
You are responsible for the progress you are making in choir.
So, if you dont put an effort into such small little things like finding out meanings that you do not understand... You'll know what you'll get into soon enough.
Case scenario of the day:
During sectionals after our one and only practise with Mr Tay this week,
Sop 1s were going through our performance scores. And they asked me,
"What does a tempo mean?"
# - Never ask this, because you should have found this out on your own when you are revising your score at home. Its likea homework so if you did not know what it means it only proves that you did not revise, or even if you did, you did not take note of the little words that read , in this case, a tempo.
So, i tasked them to find out the meaning and post in on our FB page (which some of you are still clueless about- please check the Links section)
And,
Voila!
(look below)

In the end, only Melanie out of 6 Sops bothered. Hmph...
Good job Melanie & Samantha (Sec 2s)
Anyway, here's a note to self for you guys:
#1- Always sing with the right techniques even though we are singing in Piano and other dynamics. (e.g. Laudate Bar 16 upbeat, Altos especially) ALWAYS SING WITH THE RIGHT TECHNIQUES! (unless told otherwise)
#2 - Find out parts on your own first , likewise for musical terms, and if you are really really super duper unknown to your score and music, ask your seniors/conductor.
Okay, so far?
Alright:
About tmrw:
1)Assemble at the handbell room @ 8AM SHARP!
2) All scores to be memorised (Text, dynamics, style etc included)
3) We will end at 12.30 PM and yes,
THERE WILL BE TRANSPORT BACK TO SCHOOL.
Any other questions, you have three options:
A) Ask at the tagboard
B) Ask at the FB Page
C) Ask tmrw
D) Ask next week (PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE THIS OPTION..Or else)
Xos,
Gloria
