SYF Central Judging 2007: VSchoir - Gold
Before the competition, I already knew it was impossible to get Gold w/ Honours. Standing in front, I can tell the choir wasn't improving every day. Or even if they were, they seemed to deprove the next day. The choir wasn't focused. I shouldn't be saying this now, I shouldn't be blaming other people at this point of time.
Thanks to those who have wished us good luck. I noticed that I have told many lies already. "Sure, we will bring back good results", "Yeah, I will SMS you the good news", "Thanks, we will sure announce getting Gold with Honours". Even in front of the choir, although my confidence kept falling every day, I tried my best to motivate the members by saying that we will get Gold with Honours, but every time I said this, I know it's quite impossible. I know if I were to say anything bad within these 2 weeks, it will seriously spoil their mood.
It may seem to others that getting Gold is very good already. In fact, one choir was cheering very loudly when they received a Silver Award. But VSchoir has always been getting the top award every year. Plus the fact that we were ranked unofficially the top secondary school choir in Singapore, it's quite a drastic drop to a Gold award as of this SYF. Anyway it's quite wasted because the difference between Gold and Gold with Honours is quite small, only a 5-mark range for Gold. Also, it wasn't as though there were many choirs who didn't get Gold with Honours: Catholic High, Dunman Sec and River Valley Sec all got GWH, and I think we were the only Gold today.
Like what Pock Thong said immediately the performance, once the results come out we will sure cry. Spoke to Mr Nah, our pianist for Everyone Sang, and he just mentioned (before the results were announced) that the judges will not be judging based on pitching, but also based on other things like tone, which is there already. He was implying that our pitching was not good. Same as Mr Kwei, who said that our pitching for Credo was very bad. Maybe Mr Kwei is a little disappointed about our results, but he came out and spoke to the choir for a while and comforted us.
Anyway, what's done cannot be undone. I believe this result is already good enough, thinking it of the "relative" way rather than "absolute" way. Go VSchoir! Bring back glory for the Pattaya trip, and get a Gold with Honours in 2009!
It's probably time to get back to studies already. Do well for 'O' levels.

Yoyo...
This is Gim sen here. SYF is over. now concentrate on ur studies and do well for'O levels. Whether it's gold or GWH, wat's most impt is the attitude. At least we did not fall to a silver right. Try harder next time. Hmmm, tell the new exco muco to wrk harder for the next competition. Get the experience and like wat i have told u guys, u must demand for standard if u want to achieve GWH. Kudos to all the hardwrk. Mayb u can arrange for mi and some seniors to meet the choir, if u think it's necessary... Let us help u guys to improve. Yeah. Take care.
