okay,couldnt think of a more suitable title because im going to do a quick summary and update about recent events.so yah its basically a 'rojak'post.
first up, as posted by yanmin, we've taken the step back for the juniors to show what they've got.so for the seniors or grand seniors i'll just list down their names alright.cant provide photos lah, im not tt resourceful cos for handover ceremony, 2 of them had OP workshop so they didnt join us. Here it goes
ANGKLUNG ENSEMBLE EXCO 2007-2008
President : Michell
Vice-President: Carline
Secretary & Librarian : Joycelyn
Student Conductor & Publicity Officer : Jia Ling
Welfare Officer & Treasurer : Amy
QM's : Xin Yu & May Thant
yup.swopped some duties ard cos we felt this would be more suitable for the next batch.den the j1's had their first performance with limited j2's. only 3 j2's, they had it on CIP day, due to some poor organisation n a poor phone of mine, could only snap some secretive shots from afar, but im sure the jia you we gave was louder than any others.haha.for your first time w/o j2's attempting a difficult song like reverie, it is indeed commendable, but certainly, there's alot of room for improvement esp yr facial expressions and confidence lvl on stage!work hard at it alright! =)
den den, had a long day tdy.mr dzul already gave some descriptions abt performance tdy so i shall skip it.anyway, some of us were rather disappointed cos we couldn hear each other like at all.but anyways, ppl said it was rather well played.so we shall see what sort of comments we'll receive then.while waiting for more photos to come in, i shall post some of what i have.
so abv are all tt i have currently.wait for more.
oh thanks azhar for coming down to support us tdy.i don noe if other seniors were there but i only saw azhar.yup.or maybe only know azhar.ok im getting incoherant from a long day out.jus rched hme not long ago.
quick updates
28th 29th July: Last for j2's. performance at the EXPO.doubt its a public performance.
so for those seniors who have missed tdy's performance, catch the juniors on 15th Aug at Esplanade.i tink details will be posted up by the new PO =))
ending here.i want to thank everyone for cooperating with my exco, im fortunate to have such a supportive exco, j2's we've seen your dedication and committment & passion for the cca, j1's u've gt a long way to go. i hope that the j1's would give your support to the current exco.till the time when i get more photos.
add on:
let me be a little emo here.ytd night, i went to the archives, i read the pre and post syf posts.as ive mentioned to all before, SYF2007 would be an experience worth the effort and tears.i read n re read each post,what flooded my mind was realli the syf scenerio, flashbacks of our late night practices, the day when we had fun circling while playing, the building up of pressure as all cca's be4 us did well, the lousy playing in the sch hall be4 leaving, the unpleasant practices when u guys have to bear an earful frm me, the many times when i wanted to tell u guys how great u all were but kept it within me for the fear of it leading to complacency, the times when i felt like breaking down bt i know i had to be strong, the day of syf when we saw the beautiful costumes of other schs, the magical stage which we brought alive, the amazed audience whu were captivated by our enchanting music, our outstanding blazer which drew attention of others, the mani hugs and whispers backstage to jia you, the encouragement; dedication; passion and love of everyone in the ensemble; teachers and conductor, the shattering of the beautiful dream, the broken hearts which took awhile to recover.believe me, all this will stay with u like how its staying with me.as a j2 whu's leaving the ensemble soon, i know, u guys all have yr wonderful share.sit dwn n tink n u'll realise tt the ensemble has realli given us alot.more than wat we can ask for, so all the more, we shud give back by realli owning the stage at EXPO next week. long n emo entry.
