tomorrow's the BIG DAY huh? after all the notes, pitch, sweat and toil it finally all comes down to tomorrow! i haven't been coming much to watch and hear you guys cause i've been in the army since the year began and so really cannot say much about how you guys have improved and all that. but from what i have gathered i have come to know that there has been a considerable amount of effort put into your songs and i'm sure you guys have vastly improved from the first time you sang the pieces!
while i may not be the best singer during my time an neither can i say i was a damn blody good leader, after all these years of singing, i suppose i can tell whether the choir feels the music? and so as i mentioned, tomorrow's the big day and hence it is all the more crucial and important for you to feel the song. all that has been drummed into your heads all these months of hard practice, notes pitch and what-nots, doesn't come to life without your own interpretation of it.
love what you do vjchoir, and i'm sure you guys will get there. as i write this, i wonder to myself whether this entry comes too late for the competition tomorrow cause i know you guys will feel the nerves and all that natural stuff but i still have to say this.
on that stage is where you will rule and dominate. no matter what people have said or made hurting comments about you and your voice, don't let those words rob you of Your music. each and everyone of you in the choir was chosen simply because of your love to sing- that's what this choir is all about: the passion to sing. lose that passion, and i gurantee you lose everything. not just material matters such as the coveted award, but i refer more to your heart and soul to which over the years you have cultivated Your song.
everyone of you have come thus far, putting in your individual input to make the song new fresh and most importantly alive. feel that camaraderie and reminisence of the times when you guys had so much fun as well as tears together, and as you sing may you be filled with the music that your soul wants to express. feel not only your own heart but the hearts of the people around you.
after all,
no man is an island
no man stands alone.
With much love,
prayers and good wishes,
darren, class of 2005/ vjchoir.
