hey everyone!
are you feeling excited for the competition? ahah...you know i am quite excited for it and kinda nervous too. But yeah! i know we all can do it and i will do my best to make you all proud. So, work hard for it all the way till the very last second and never give up okay? You can make a difference by doing your own part in playing well,
MOVE TO THE MUSIC and LOOK UP! honestly, when i stand up there conducting...it's much more inspirational and exciting when you all move and respond to the music that you're playing. When you all just play without any expression, it's really...well...in my words it's like so boring to conduct and not at all enjoyable. So yeah. Please make an effort to move or just nod along with the note that you play...Sec 3 and 4 seniors had watched the concert that time on Canossian St's day when Hope For Monday band sang so impressively awesome and everyone was like dancing to their music. You could see how they engaged their audience. They were standing and playing the electric guitars at the same time, even singing too and they could move along with the music so vigorously, why can't we? We're sitting down playing, we don't even have to use our lungs to sing out loud, so it is much easier for us to move right? We have to do this in order to impress the judges and the audience, this will make us to be outstanding and different from other school too! Anyway,
we want to be outstanding and different right? I know SAC girls always do! I know you may feel unglam doing it, but sacrifice just a few minutes for that unglam-ness just to win, it's not that difficult isn't it? if you're afraid of being unglam, how about me? I'm like standing there, moving like no one's business, i dont know how or what the audiences are thinking or talking about me behind my back but actually i don't really care. Or else, i wouldn't have volunteered to stand up there and conduct right? So just wipe out all the thoughts and your consciousness of what people are thinking of you,
just do it because you want to win, and because you want to be impressive! okay?
A few reminders for friday. Please please please remember to bring your
gown and court shoes on friday. For those who doesn't know how court shoes look like, please ask your friends who know or your mum because they definitely know! or go to bata shop and ask the ppl there, bata definitely sells court shoes. You can buy a pair for this coming competition and keep it for SYF too. No hairband allowed and no necklace. Please also pack and arrange your scores neatly. I don't know the order of the pieces yet but make sure you have all 3 pieces inside your file- Allegro, Una Noche and Dawn( Amenacer).
Extra practice will be on Wednesday 11 march at 2:15pm-4pm. Meet at MPR2 with your guitars. I expect full attendance except those who have given me their reasons for not being able to turn up. More announcements will be made during CCA practice. So keep working hard and enjoy your weekend=)
Maria.
No one can play it like us!
