Now that SYF is over and we all know the results, I feel that there is a need for me to post something here.
Let me start with a quote from a HCISO member, "Last year, whenever ther was practice, we would go, 'Practice? sian....' But after SYF, everyone is like, 'no practice? sian....'" From this simple words, we can see that many of us have actually poured our heart and souls into this SYF and into orch.
While i'm sitting here posting this, i'm also listening to our SYF recording. I must say that, even from a more objective view, our performance was the greatest that we ever managed. And this is despite the fact that normally orchestras only play up to around 80% of the real ability on stage.
Our A. Williams was great, we managed to make a seemingly boring piece into a what i can say is an almost perfect piece of music. I personally think that our Britten owned that of SNSO, no offense, we showed more details and possibly more spirit (?), well mr chan probably said it all...
But as the teachers and alwyn have said, we must move on from this, and show the world that the judges were wrong.
We will show everyone that we not only can play the music but also can enjoy it. We will take this setback as a motivation to work even harder.
BECAUSE, in our hearts, we know we are Gold with Honours, and we know what HCISO is made of! I know we have the ability, we have the spirit, we have the commitment
COS WE DO HAVE THE PASSION!!!
