Westmall performance 2009

Dear choir,

This is the video of the performance I got from youtube. I think one of your friends uploaded this video which is filmed using a handphone. The quality is not very good but not to worry, I will be getting the edited version soon from the IT Club. In the meantime, enjoy this video first

With regards,

Mr Alan Wong

YI Choir teacher

Westmall

Dear choir,

Watching you people mature within this one year is one of the greatest joy in life. Since the days of "Let's Celebrate life", " You raise me up" where you people sing in unison, to "White horses" and the "Phantom of the opera", you people have improved by leaps and bounds. Seeing you people behaving so professionally and beaming with pride while waiting to perform in Westmall really makes me realised that we have really come a long way.

I guess overcoming all the difficulties and having a hard time during this journey makes it more memorable for each and everyone of us. I am very sure all of you will have fond memories of YI Choir even when you people are in University or polytechnic next time.

Really hope that all of you can make it for the Hongkong trip in March 2010. Do start saving now as it will be something like a graduation trip for the present secondary 3 students. Can't wait to go Disneyland with you people and I must bring you people to try the roast goose (My personal favourite), roast pigeon and all the exciting food in Hongkong.

With regards,
Mr Alan Wong
Choir Teacher

West Mall Performance

Hello choir, it been a great joy to perform for others right?? Especially to those shoppers.

It seems that todays choir had grown up. It was no longer the last time immature choir anymore. Some of my ex-choir friends told me this choir is great! & A Talented Choir! Indeed is true!

Maybe some of the choir members not up on stage due to sick.. but i know they are there to JY

for us. I apperciate it. And Get well soon alright? hahas.

Do u know? Mr chew can heard us sang loudly and clearly from the 4th floor of west mall! I'm really shocked! It a shopping mall... i dun expect that everyone can heard it, but to my susprise, Choir did it. U guys sang pretty well u know? The first song, u guys sang to the public the first time, yet it was well sang. The other 2 songs also great! It really a great joy singing on stage.

There is 1 sentance i remember, '' Willing to take the tough practises and trainings, just to earn 5mins on stage to show case our hard works.'' Remember, our hard works can't go to waste. We continue to improve! Alright?

Stay healthy and drink lots of water. I'm looking forward to the next friday performance at SIM.

Do Take Care yourself. Becuase i care for all of you.

I will see you guys on next thurday training. Loveya.^^

Loves,

MeiTing^^

For the GIRLS - Professional Make Up Workshop

Reminder: Turn up with your make-up done.

Slot A - report at Science SLC at 8.45am
Slot B - report at Science SLC at 11.45am

For more info, please refer to the letter issued to all of you.

Westmall Performance - some takeaways

Let's start with the POSITIVE points:

1. Behaviour - VERY GOOD! Definitely improved with more outdoor performances. All of you had been very well-behaved in the public and I must say that it has been a blessed time for the teachers 'taking care' of you. Thank you for not creating trouble for us as we (the teachers) were kept busy with the technical and logistical issues.
2. Expression - VERY GOOD! Wow! Aren't we not impressed by your singing impression!? I must say that most of you (>90%) really open your mouths big and gosh! the expressions are simply priceless!! You display good musicianship! You all seem to be enjoying yourselves! GOOD JOB!
   
3. Preparedness - GOOD! All of you display readiness and really live up to much of our expectations. Keep it up!

Some areas for improvements:

• Hair - please bear in mind the standards set (recall SYF). Only black hair accessories are allowed.
• Undergarments (for gals) - No halter-neck or sports bra, please!! :(
• Shoes - only black (pure black!! totally black) cover-up shoes are allowed.

Last but not least, do remember that we bear the name "YI CHOIR" and it's our duty to keep up to the standards. There is only a way to go - to be better!

GOOD JOB!!!

Yoz peeps!

It's been a while since I last posted an entry... Have been very busy and we all know why. hee! :)

YEAH!

I must say the Westmall Performance has been a great one!!! The teachers were there at the ground with the crowd and guess what? We heard so much positive and encouraging feedback about u!

In fact, the so much that she Westmall management enjoys our CHOIR performance that she especially requests for the CHOIR to put up a Xmas Caroling this Dec! :)

Anyway, here are a few of the many positive comments overheard. hee! :D

Passerby #1 to her friend: "Wow! The boys are actually quite good!"
(okie, tenors and basses...be humble!)

Passerby #2: *claps his hands and listens attentively to the voices*

Passerby #3: "what school is this, huh? Quite a good choir."

Okie, the list can go on as the Choir teachers 'racqeed' the crowd. :)

Of course, some of you may think the encouragement came mainly from our supporters - mainly the students and even the parents of our Choir members.

Well, I seriously believe that the praises are contagious and the applause are GENUINE!

The YI CHOIR deserves a huge round of applause for putting up such a wonderful performance!! :D Indeed, you guys have grown more 'matured' in musically sense and yes, we sure look forward to a better performance at the SIM.

Keep it up, CHOIR! :D

~Very proud of the YI CHOIR,
the choir teachers i/c

Hey Everyone After seeing the Lastest post By Shahir...
..I was completely Shocked! Normally Shahir will keep his cool and won't Be mad but this is not the case... Something bad must had happen while I was away.

Even though I was not There In the Act But I could feel that This isn't like our Choir..It feel more like a uncompulsary Choir CCA Which I think is totally Stupid as Teachers and SLs are putting a 110% of their energy and time just to Make this a success but Just a few people...Just a few people is needed And it will ruin the image of our Choir.. And It is a SLIVER Choir!!

Now that Teachers are Stepping up for themselves Everyone should Turn up or will face the music!

In the end I would like to say this..
.Please Report for all Training and rehersal
.Please Be Attentive to Ms Khor at all times
.Give Your 100% When u Sing!
~Zong Hua~

another serious matter

ok hi guys
i got another serious matter to say
other than attendance
i also got to say that
our choir still has not learn how to behave
i dont want to point fingers
but its about time that you people learn to behave
its ok to laugh once in a while
but not all the time
and please...
i have to point this out
especially. mac.
abt the moonwalk thing
you guys might think its funny ,
but i feel disgraced.
really...
we are not the old choir anymore
we are a SILVER choir
so we must live up to the name
and not behaving like choirs from primary school.
i really hate scolding
thats why i kept quiet this few choir practice but i think
last thursday , it has crossed the line
really.
EVENTHOUGH i came for only 30-45 mins
because of student conference
ITS IS ENOUGH
for me to see the behaviour of our choir
what have become of u guys?
please.
enough is enough.
i hope for a better behaviour this thursday

- Shahir

Serious Matter!!

To ALL Choir members,

Ms ang, Mr wong and Ms lee are looking into the attendence of all of us.. They are really disppointed..

I know nowadays, people keep on falling sick, take MC and etc.. However, those people who are in school, you MUST turn up for the choir practices!!!!

Do you know?! I saw some of you in school last thur... You all should be at media hub by 2.45pm.. and all those people i saw on that day, mostly disappered.. Are you guys trying to tell me you guys suddenly fall sick too?? Dun even lied to us...

Please.. You guys are giving Shahir, Me, Amanda & Simpson a hard time... When you guys never turn up, we are the one who need to go find and chase after you... We don't have time for you all!! We need time for training.. u know? Teacher's day is just near by... about another 1 week.. 31/1/09..

Stop showing us your attitude.. Let me give all of you LAST WARNING!! Next training and for all the rest of the trainings, you guys better turn up or What do you think all of us will do?! You guys think about it! Don't say we never give you guys chance!

Ms Khor is also angry... She is angry with our attitude... All because of you guys, Ms ang, Mr wong, Ms lee and all those members who turn up for training were scolded..
Where is Choir TEAM spirit ?!?!?! Are you guys trying to say after SYF, the team spirit we had at victoria concert hall is thrown to drain ?? Please don't be selfish!! You guys arenot the only one who built up the team spirit... We need time to have this team spirit! And all because of you guys, you want our effort gone to waste?!?!?!

Let me make myself clear, from today onward, EVERYONE MUST attend the choir training... We got new songs coming in.. Some of you haven even learn and take a look at the scores... The rest of the training, I want to see everyone turning up for the training.. 4 Of us and teachers will mark ur attendent!

Please make sure ALL of you turn up! I really looking forwards to see all of you and the choir spirit!

Loves,
MeiTing^^

What's WRONG?!

Hey people!

I seriously think we have to WORK HARDER for the upcoming performances.

It's really about upholding the name - the YI CHOIR and do our best to keep up the reputation we have built so far.

Honestly speaking, you guys can do much better!

We know it's not easy...

Dear Shahir and Amanda,

just a word of encouragement for both of you. The NDP teachers had witnessed the efforts you put in during the last rehearsal - gathering the rest for Mr Andrew, helping to collect the bags into the plastic bags, etc.

We know it's not easy... to yell at the top of your lungs just to get people moving and listening to you. We understand that often, you are being 'forced' to take the lead and set the example for the rest to follow.
We saw how both of you still chose to obey the instructions despite feeling the unwillingness deep within and we wanna THANK YOU for that!!

WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS and HELP! Indeed, your hard work is not gone unnoticed.

Thank you so much!!

Regards,
~ YI-NDP teachers i/c
