3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for SAC! HIP HIP! HOORAY! HIP HIP! HOORAY! HIP HIP! HOORAY!
many many congratulations to everyone! we have made it! we've brought the trophy and honors back to our school, to our Guitar Ensemble and to ourselves! Though i didn't win the best conductor prize, but i'm happy beyond words for what we have achieved together as a team. The credit goes to every single one of you for putting in your efforts to get what we wanted to. Nevertheless, I'm not disappointed for not winning the best conductor award because i know that i've given it my best shot and i have no regrets at all. Thank you for all your encouragement and supports so far. I also want to thank specially Mr Choo for your guidance and dedication to teaching. Though you sprained your neck on the very last practice before the competition, you still came to help me with the ensemble. I also wanna thank Ms Farah for organised everything for us, luckily we had lunch in school, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make it back to school on
time due to the heavy rain.
To the alumni seniors and friends:
Thank you for all your supports and encouragement, though it was really an indirect pressure i've gotten from all of you, but yeah i guess it's good. Haha. So, we didn't let all of you down and my dear Tiffany, your beloved trophy is back but unfortunately, not back to your house. Hahah. I'm glad that we really brought it back for you and yeah, don't worry, i'll note on the comments you've given and work on them with the ensemble, and also sorry for not winning the best conductor award. Anyway, special thanks to Angelyn and Sherrill for your constant visits and the sweet as an encouragement to everyone. Thanks for your inspirational quotes and unceasing supports. I'm really touched and grateful for your presence when i felt like giving up hopes. But rest assured, i won't give up hopes and let all of you down. Thanks to Cherie for your presence there to cheer for us too. I really miss those times when all of us were in that purple gown and had so many fond memories together.
To my dear president and vice-presidents:
See! I told you (namely Amanda and Petrina), we will get 1st! and we did get 1st! This marks our very last and final Guitar Competition that we took part in, and i'm really glad that we brought back what we have lost the previous year. Just have faith in yourselves knowing that you've done your best, because your best efforts will be paid off. So, let's work together on our weaknesses and achieve our common goal. Never settle for less. And never let doubts control you. Yeah it's our very last 100m to sprint and to give it our very best shot. Like what Angelyn has said- We are winners if we try to attain the best, not the award. So, maybe we'll call for a celebration on one of the cca day this coming week. Good job done girls!
To all Sec 4 and 5 seniors:
The competition marked our last and final one in this SACGE. I hope that we will continue to work hard together for our very last SYF as well. Make it a very memorable one and successful one before we leave. With no regrets when looking back. Jia You!
To all SACGE members:
I wanted to shake hands with all of you for this success but i didn't get a chance to. Anyway, i hope that this winning has motivated everyone to do even better and work even harder towards SYF. Never be complacent. It is easy to be at the top but is never easy to maintain staying at the top. Now, the opponents are no longer other schools' guitar ensemble, but yourselves. You are the one to call the shot now, to decide whether you want to maintain the best by continuing to work hard for it or, to be content with where you are and relax. You decide. SYF is just a month away. There's still time for us to work on our weaknesses and come back on stage even stronger, better and more confident. The base for Una Noche, you know your runs are not perfect yet, work on it while you still have time to. Same goes for the rest of you. Aim for the best and you will get the best, if you're willing to work hard for it. I've seen that all of you have given your best shot on stage last friday, you all did look up, followed my conducting. Thank you. We'll continue to work on our expressiveness and things like dynamics, phrasings and blend. Please take a look at the videos, see what we need to improve on and your suggestions are most welcomed! Anyway, remember to come back for cca and we'll have a celebration to our success! Love you girls!
Maria.
p.s: I'll update Allegro and Una Noche soon. It's taking pretty long. Sorry for the delay.
