23 DAYS MORE!
Hi there my fellow choirmates! I hope you're getting geared up for the big day, yes? Remember how we have gone though the roller coaster ride in Hong Kong together? Remember the intensive practices in school? Pushing the wall & singing? Remember how badly we wanted to do well? Remember the midnight practice? Remember being asked by Mr Liew, "Where is your mind?" FOCUS. We must focus on the task ahead of us. Then, came public performance day. Remember the aunty who shouted at Callida to go & die? Remember running all over Singapore to sell tickets for the concert? Remember how hard we tried again?
NOW.
It's simply down to these 23 days. It's all about our FRAME OF MIND! Are you going to take everything that Mr Liew says seriously? Are you going to do your sit ups faithfully? Are you going to go though your scores, for the dynamics & pronounciations? Are you going to listen to Miss Lim's midis? Are you going to come to training with a purpose in mind? Are you?
Really, how we fare in the SYF depends on each and every one of us & how determined we are.
DO YOUR PART FOR OUR CHOIR.
DO IT NOW & MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Hey-ho!
We are the lovely choir from Chij. St. Joseph's Convent, united as one voice. It's not about one person, one section, it's about how we blend in together, to make wonders. That's what matters, for "a choir's strength is measured by it's weakest member." Those, the words of our conductor, Mr Francis Liew. Yes, he's got many wise cracks. Miss Joyce Lim helps him out in teaching us. She can sing/play the piano awesomely! We recently went for the Hongkong Children/Youth Choir Competition 2008. In Category A2 (Aged 16 & under), we got a Bronze C. But, in Category D (Folklore: Aged 29 & under), we got a Bronze A! Yes, we do come from humble beginings, having taken part in the National Day Parade 2006 (something we will never forget!). We went for the Jubilate Exchange Trip with our previous conductor Miss Joey Lye. In the 2007 SYF Judging, we attained a Silver!

Currently, we are training really hard for our concert, Ties that Bind, Dreams that Inspire. It's on the 29th of November at the Republic Polytechnic Cultural Centre, 7.30pm! & Next? It's MOUNT SYF!

Remember how Mr Liew said we've got to sing 'Survivor' with more enthusiasm?

Those people Mr Liew was talking about! (The three people in the toilet) We aim to sing like them.

Another goooooood one! Look at those expressions/support!

Thank Mrs Ho for this one (Ohhhhhh, they used tons of mikes!):

(As Miss Lim said, don't dress like them though.)
