Mighty Wonder

Although I was dead beat today, choir was fun=]
Warmed up by running three rounds around the Parade Square and singing 'Twinkle Stars' with our legs stretched 45 degrees. It was really painful singing while feeling like your abdomen's gonna snap.
Coz we couldn't use the Arts Con. and the band was too noisy for us to sing at the mini forum, plus there isn't a piano in the MPR, we just stayed in the MPR and did some bonding. Revised a bit of Las Amarillas and the walk-in concert song. Then, came the best part [coz Ariel also couldn't find the right pitch without the pitch fork] all of us, gathered in a small circle in the room and some told us ghost stories. Some are real life experience and Kumitra said a poem that is like a curse, if you go down the steps saying it, it will determine your death and if you say it to the end, you will uhm, vanish? 0_0
Anyway, Laura and Kalyn came in just then and they thought Ariel was teaching us to mediate!
Tried our gowns after that. It was so awkward... Couldn't go to the toilet, so Kalyn helped me change to my gown.
Lunch was spent at Esso. Joey and I offered to shelter Zhuo Min and Claudia and four of us were wet. I was the one who was completely drenched. But I was consoled when I saw how wet Charlene was later [she ran from the bus stop to school without an umbrella].
The next hour of lunch was used in the studio room opposite. Yi Bin's piano playing is really great =]]
Warmed up our voices with 'Hark the Bell is Ringing' while walking in time [keeping the same beat]. Mr Tay then ran through the repertoire for the concert.
My section sabotaged the Sop2s today, just ask Ziyu =]] HAHAHAH. Sop1s rock the most anyway. Mr Tay kept scolding us about our section not being focused and decided to scold Sop2s too coz yes, they are Sops =]]]] And that for 'Mighty Wonder' , which we learnt today, they are singing the same parts.
All because of Juniper! Kept making Kalyn and me laugh while singing, that's why all of us got the wrong notes and the wrong bars.
Oh yeah, during sectionals, Juniper kept fooling about with her rendition of the intro of 'Mighty Wonder' that we were laughing more than singing. Anyway, Yi Bin and Juniper played the piano wrongly so we also got lost - Juniper said that's coz she has already retired [she'd got her diploma]. That's why Teryne called Mr Tay our 'savior' when he appeared in the room to help us after the Altos in the next room. Finished the whole song faster than the Altos as Mr Tay taught us some effective vocal techniques and our parts were easier. Though some parts were insanely high.
So when Mr Tay was still going through with Altos, Juniper decided to do some "Break-bone dancing" which failed MISERABLY. =] Kalyn and I were laughing our heads off. Kalyn, Teryne and Li Xin tried another step and it was all very funny.
When we were singing the whole piece of 'Mighty Wonder' Juniper exaggerated the singing and caused me to laugh again...Kalyn and Teryne also laughed and yup, everything went downhill once more. But we managed to do it quite beautifully the last time =]]
