ytd the exco and SLs had a chat session with our conductor. at least now we know where we went wrong (=
he said we lacked conviction. our performance lacked the emotive energy displayed by Dunman, which attained a gwh. also, it was way too soft, and lacked clarity.
next, we weren't taking ownership of our instrument. many people were still sick (like 1/3 of the choir) 1 - 2 days before syf. and also, people were not prioritizing. there were those who chionged work, stayed up late, fooled arnd (ok i was one of them but i just cnt help it, it's just me , sry), yah.
also, we were nervous, and that led to a shaky start (vry unstable in fact). and then we lost focus halfway thru aftr our most difficult piece.
so ya, tht's wad he said.
wad i say, is simply that we were too concerned with our own music. our minds were set on making sure we didnt make any mistakes (like gettin the right pitch, rhythm, choreo etc.). what we left out in our performance was the audience. wad is a performance without an audience?
yeah, we made the grave mistake of not carrying our music TO the people, FOR the people. we were way too self-conscience. so nxt time, let's just sing for the people (people = us too of course). we will walk up that stage shamelessly, and just perform like sincere singers, full of conviction and energy.
it'll just be for those few minutes tht we immerse ourselves into the music, and transfer it from a black and white score to melodious music for everyone's ears. we'll sing not only with our minds, but with our hearts next time.
everyone can sing exceptionally well. now we just have to make sure we can perform well.
okay, so now this trying time has finally concluded (=
today, i went to lan with zee, tatwai n his bro, joshua, and daniel tay. haha, amazingly i still hvnt lost touch with dota (= yeah man, still can kill n win! woweweee xD i'm just glad tht nxt wk is gna be free! n yeah, everyone nids a decent break once in a while.
