Hi Choir!

Please note that choir resumes on this Thursday (21/10/2010). Please revise your songs, and sing through them a few times! Musical Evening is coming in about a month, we must do our best, so please come for all the practices!

Remember that when choir resumes:

- Group performance of the songs we're singing for M.E (First group, please prepare)
- Listen to Mrs Lim and your SLs.
- SLs, please organise more sectionals if your section needs it.
- GET READY FOR M.E! (Don't arrange anything if you know there is choir practice that day!)
- Musical Evening tickets. Each person has to sell 3 tickets minimum, and each ticket is $15, so start advertising!
- Choir holiday practices schedule will be out soon (The better you are, the less practices we'll have)

P.S. It wouldn't hurt to tag!

Hey Choir,

Juniper has spoken to the committee, but I think the whole choir should know this too. I think Juniper may just speak to you guys on Thursday about this again too.

Techniques aside, I think we really lack a LOT of motivation. Considering we are just eleven days to the performance, it's really dangerous and scary when you think about how far we have covered during our practices. Think about it, we only got through one song today, in close to four hours. That's a really scary thing. By now, we shouldn't even be burying our noses in our score while singing. Right now, you should be able to sing WITHOUT the score. By the next practice, I really don't want to see you guys holding them - you should be able to survive just as well without them.

Another thing: Music - well, singing, is not just about blasting. You have to listen. I know Mrs Lim always say the Mezzos are too weak and stuff. But you need to take note of the dynamics too. Previously, when I was listening to you guys at the start of the practice, I realise that most of you seem to be competing section against section: Who Can Sing Louder / If The Other Section Sings Louder, We Must Sing Even Louder. No. Don't do that. We are suppose to complement each other within and outside our sections. Trying to sing louder than the other sections is not a proper solution when Mrs Lim says that the Mezzos are too weak. Instead, project your voice properly. Laura taught you guys how to lift and use your diaphragm. Use those techniques and not get so airy.

I know Sop1s like to do the 'popping' as Laura calls it. I'm guilty of that too actually. And Alto2s have this tendency to go flat. But I think that if we really take the effort to exercise those muscles and really breathe deep, these problems won't be such an obstacle anymore.

We (including me) need to be much more focused too. You realise that each time we start our warm ups, someone has to call for the choir to gather and start at least three to five times. That's not a very good start you know.

Anyway, let's just work even harder than now and put in our 110% effort into singing okay!

Night!

Hi Choir

There is a new rule:

For every week you are late in paying for the choir fund, you will be fined an additional $1.

For those who still hasn't paid for the choir fund, please pay it latest by Tuesday.
However, even though you guys are two weeks late, because this rule has just been implemented, there will just be a $1 fine. But of course, if you still do not pay by this week, then it will just increase.

Loads of bear hug from
