4.11.2008

Rehearsal for our graduation day performance turned out quite well,
better than I’d expected despite the number of newbies joining us today……
The first thing that came across my mind was
“Hey, we actually have a bunch of great kids with us this year! “
Which is a good thing =)


After hours and hours of painstaking trials,
We finally came up with an ingeniously surprising show.
Partially similar to the previous year except for the theme…
Which is to entertain not just the audience but more importantly ourselves... ...extraordinary…lol
Guidelines and rules were side-lined,
While everyone played thoroughly to their heart’s content…


The seniors were the ones who ought to be thanked for putting in 101% of their noble effort in knitting the show together…
Kudos to those who worked endlessly for this production.


The show was planned in such a way,
So energetic that even at the end of the day everyone demanded for more,
But the seniors really had to call it a day out due to fatigue…
No doubt everyone was filled to the brim with enthusiasm,
Eagerly looking forward to the next day…………

SHOWTIME !!!

Our long-anticipated show began with a sentimental number “ 明天会更好 ”
We chose this song to signify the end of their ( form 5’s & upper 6’s ) secondary education days…
It was truly an emotional moment for all, with emotions and sombreness hanging in the air.
We bid them a final farewell before ending the song with a satisfactory round of applause…
Clap…clap…


“ 1 … 2 … 1 2 3 4 “ shouted out Chuah Wui Cuan ( conductor )
And we kicked off the second phase of the show, literally.
An amusing “ Sock Hop Tonight “ it is…
From which our sobriety we hopped into a whole new jazzy tune.
The saxophonists basically hogged the entire show and trust me, they were good…well…better than just good, they were stupendous!!
They really knew how to get their groove going and the audience responded accordingly…
They even tried to outdo each other to snatch the limelight and created quite a scene up there…
“ AbsuRd “ became our middle name just for that instance as we all went wild like lunatics…


And then into the second section of the music where Chew Kean Heng, our soloist took the limelight.
Unfortunately, he made a mistake and caused quite a halt,
However it is all well as he perfectly portrayed the dark side behind every teenager’s life,
Where everyone makes mistakes and eventually learn to overcome their fears and stand back up…
My friend, it’s alright, let it go,
It’s not the quality of your playing we seek,
It’s your nerves to stand out from the rest that counts =)


Soon we entered the third section of the piece, where everyone jumped back up and grooved to the tune of the trombones,
You guys really whipped up to a frenzy and were continually subjected to derision…
It was as though you guys were all on Ecstacy… lol…
You guys not just entertained yourselves, but indeed you all made room for laughter in that hollow hall.
Cheers to you guys for your enthusiasm!
Moreover, you guys portrayed the sweet thing about life as a teenager,
Where we got to chill out together and just be a kid,
Doing crazy, ridiculous stuff all for the sake of enjoying life…
Frankly speaking, I really felt the energy from you guys,
And all I wanted was to join in the fun with you all…too bad…sigh
We ended the show with a full jazz ensemble blast to the audience and what a crowd reaction it was…
Everyone were on their feet ( figuratively ) to cheer us on,
And this time, the applause was more than just satisfactory,
It was triumphantly gratifying!
It was definitely a heart-stopping moment to be remembered for years to come…
For me it would always remain a perpetual memory…
Thanks to cutting-edge technology, we have a video recording by Sony Cybershot =.=’ LAME !
“ Encore! Encore! “ they shouted,
Obviously they enjoyed our show, a lot.

SUCCESS !!

However this is just a milestone of what’s coming ahead of us in the future,
Our future … STBB 2009



Therefore, I urge you band of brothers,
To merge as one body, mind and soul,
Together we go and win the hearts of others!



Together we bear the shame
Together we share the fame



To all our seniors, all the best in the exams and
Cheers from your successors.
Thank you!
Adios amigo
