Practices AT SLO
Dear SYF Quest Choristers,
You should have received the consent forms today in school from Alvin.
Please note the following details on our upcoming practice sessions.
Practice 1
Date: 28 March (Sat)
Reporting Time: 12 pm sharp
Reporting Venue: School Canteen
Practice Time: 12.45 pm to 2.45 pm
Practice Venue: Singapore Lyric Opera
Practice 2
Date: 29 March (Sun)
Reporting Time: 8.30 am sharp
Reporting Venue: School Gates
Practice Time: 9 am to 11 am
Practice Venue: Singapore Lyric Opera
A 2-way transport will be provided to all on both practice dates. Hence, please report punctually. The buses will not wait for you if you are late.
As for attire, you may wear your PE or Choir shirts.
Do note that all official practices on Thursdays and Fridays are cancelled. Official practices from now till SYF date are every Monday and Saturday. (THREE weekends left!)
However, if your sectional leader wishes to conduct a practice on any of the weekdays (Tue-Thu), please co-operate and attend your sectionals. The 2 hours at SLO every Saturday will still be insufficient. Ms Khor cannot extend her time with us at SLO because other schools will be coming to occupy her time. So if we can't deliver what she wants by that day, we are the ones who will be at a disadvantage. Hence, please attend your sectionals as requested by your sectional leaders.
Let us come together in these FINAL 3 WEEKS and sing like never before! I KNOW WE CAN DO IT!!!
Cheers,
Miss J. Tan

Photos Of Rehearsal At VCH
Hi people,
Here are some photos which I took during our rehearsal at VCH last week.
On our way to VCH, in the 'Lower Sec Bus'
Aww... why so shy?
Waiting along the long corridor for our turn to enterOkay, from here onwards, this is how you look on stage - minus your costumes, which are still in the making.
It was a long day. You didn't sound too bad that day, but there's definitely much room for improvement. Let's all work harder together to sound better!
Take care.

Hello Choir!
This is the whole song for "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day".
Please listen to it when you're free to learn the next part of the song.
I know it's quite confusing to hear at the last part because of the combine singing of the bass, alto and soprano.
But still, listen to it to get the feel of the song. :D
*Remember to look at the shape of their mouth. (egg)
The voice projection is good right! (shape of the mouth makes wonders:))
