SYF

Thursday, April 2, 2009 @ 8:49 PM

hey dears,
the results took an upsetting turn.
but this is not the end, it's a
new beginning for us.
it's a time to learn from our
mistakes and start over.

whatever the results,
i'm glad that most of us
agreed that the performance
on stage was truly enjoyable :]
*applause applause*
it has been a great learning experience
for us, bonding us closer as we
go through this tough time together.
the band has become more bonded
don't you think?

please cheer up ;]
yes, we can cry over it,
but in the end we'll have to
stand up again and prepare
for the next performance.
seeing directs crying,
blaming themselves
made me realise that we are a band,
and whatever we feel, the band feels it too.
we are like a family.

two important things mr oura and teachers pointed out:
first being we lack performance
experiences, second being we
need to show more confidance on stage.
frowning when you played
a wrong note, shaking your
head when leaving the stage;
these are all signs of lack of confidence
which must be avoided in performances.

a grest compliment received
was that we make music,
and not sounds. this is
what rgssb is proud of :]

the next SYF is in 2 years' time.
let us work very hard and
do our directs proud then.
as rgssb, we will definitely get our
gold with honours back :]
