jingle bell
bleh the jingle wasnt good at all. despite whatever comforting encouragement you guys tried to give us, we as performers knew what level of quality that was with resepct to what we should have been able to deliver. and it's really quite disappointing cos we actually sounded good the afternoon before and the morning right before assembly. this is exactly the negative kind of intrinsic reward we should not be getting. we should have left that podium proud of ourselves, of our hard work paying off, and happy with the sound we created.
we had progressed from where we started and we were happy with our sound and we knew it. but that failed to come out at that oh so critical minute. and that's that cos there's no turning back of time. that's performing arts for you. no one actually sees the hours of practice you put in. what you give on stage is what people hear. stage pressure is a horrible lethal enemy of ours and we have to be prepared for it. we dun have the luxury of freaking out at the fact that 889 pairs of eys are on you, or making eyes at the cute guy sitting in the fifth row. i guess toh will cover all of this, i hope we can give in our concert as good as what we give in our best combined pracs.
i was horribly out of tune even tho my bass accompaniment was so easy and i'm really sorry, but there's no use saying tt cos it's unforgivable and there's no excuse. not even the excuse of nervousness, not after being in rv so long. but in that minute, i couldnt think of wad i was singing. nuh uh, my mind was a blank. and there's nothing i can say really, i just screwed up. and there's no turning back. guess i shouldnt sing in the 2nd jingle if there's one.
apparently, we were too soft, we should have stood closer to the mike. maybe we were scared of it? lol. well anyway, gjob weisong on your VP, it saved us; and i guess the objective of getting the school's attention was achieved. even though we ourselves know that it was far far below the point that we as a group have worked at and arrived at together.
p.s. i think u should replace all the 'we's with 'i' cos i dun have the right to speak for the whole grp but i'm too lazy to edit thru my whole post so oh well...
