Choir Concert rehearsal

Alot has happened lately but too busy and tired to blog...went to the Singapore Conference Hall for the first time today (or so i thought, parents told me that I went there for my first piano practical exam when i was like 8?) with the choir teacher and students. The instructor and pianist met us there but we had to wait for quite sometime at the lobby as the personnels and holding rooms were not ready.

There were 9 schools altogether and some were in their costumes, while others in their school uniform. The kids started getting restless as time passes, finally around 2+pm, we could move to the backstage and have the students get into positions.

After the first dry run, they simulated a real rehearsal and I got to hear the different choirs sing. Some songs were not heard as I had to assist the teacher and ensure that the students know where to go. All these choirs got gold or gold with honours at this year's Singapore youth festival competition and they were really quite entertaining. It was quite an interesting and enriching experience. Free preview of an impressive concert, and a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes too =P
