Bye Bye SYF, Hello Kronos!

Syf is finally over...

What can i say of my own school performance in syf?

Ok.. seriously, after hearing the recording of our golden performance.. i think the gold that we got is justified... ok.. i am orginally a little disappointed that we didnt get honours... but i guess we should consider why we didnt get honours and not saying that other schools dont deserve the honours...

Thoughts after listening to the recording:
1) we generally sound like music that is played on a hi fi set with super woofer bass capabilities. -- yeah, the lower strings are too loud or either that the violins are weak... but what to do... we have 7 violas, 7 cellos, 3 double bass versus 9 1st violins and 10 2nd violins...

2) Rutter--> we almost collapse at the start of the rutter... section I was another shaky part that we nearly collapsed

3) we generally played well besides the 2 flaws which probably degrade us to a Gold award only...

I have listened to other schools recording from Dunman High, Nanyang, Rj (Schools that got honours)... tj, dunman sec ( bronze )

ok.. the only thing that i can differentiate us and those schools that got honours is the balance of the entire ensemble...

Oh well, everything is over.. there is nothing we can do.. what we can do now.. is to learn from our mistakes and move on instead of saying that other schools dont deserve the honours!

I am proud of DHSSE, where i was from.. i am proud of their achievement this year... they have shown others that we (DHSSE) can perform at the highest level and not some ensemble who won the Gold medal 2 years ago through luck... (ah.. the person's sec sch who made this comment to me just got gold without honours this year.. so i wonder which sch dont deserve the gold 2 years ago.. haha) .. oh well... music is subjective.. ppl might disagree with this blog.. so isnt it best to reflect on our own performance instead of saying that other sch dont deserve the honours award?
