Choir Prac.. Help!?

Hey people.. Sorry i haven't been blogging for quite some time. But alas.. I'm here again. Loads of things happened but i'll just zoom in on what happened today. Today was an incredibly long day for me. I'm super shacked and i really neeeeeeed to recharge my batteries or i'll go to school looking like a zombie tomorrow. Suppose to start at 11 but then i had to meet my Events Management group mates to plan for the upcoming event. Ok.. I'll officially announce the event we're organising here. It's cosplay. Some of you will be.. err.. while others will be like.. Woohoo! But whatever it is. Ya.. We're targeting a min. of say.. 30 to 40 people? Ya.. It's open to everyone. Not only Ngee Ann students aight? So if you wanna come. Please drop me a message ya? I'll keep you guys informed. Obviously the more the merrier la.. Cuz we do need to have a definite number of people who'll be turnin up then we can submit our proposal. So you'll really do me a HUGE favour if you come. *gleaming smile*

Ok.. And so the day dragged on till about 4 and then i had to meet my group again for project. Crazy right? After that i headed down to church. Ate dinner ALONE.. *"Lonely.. I'm Mr. Lonely.. I have no.."* Anyways.. After that i stoned and tried readin my lecture notes and stuff till choir started. But obviously to no avail la. Nothing went in. Super tired already by then.. Went in and was told by uncle Biao that i will be taking the tenors for practise from today onwards. Well.. I was really hesistant la.. Kinda like "Tui San Tui Si" if you get what i mean.. Then i told to myself. It's only like 5 tenors right? So it wasn't that bad.. Ok.. Or so i think that is. And here comes the freakin irritatin bit. No offense to you IF you do happen to read this blog for whatever reason though i doubt you will. There's this Indian guy (Not that i'm racist)is a tenor.. He just.. DOESN'T BLEND IN AT ALL! He goes out of tune and he still sings it really REALLY LOUDLY! It sort of like.. confuses the rest of the tenors, to the extent where uncle Biao came up to me personally to tell.. I'll this for later..

Anyway, while leadin the tenors.. I did voice it out to him in a very nice way to adapt with the rest and not try to try lead the tenors with your.. wierd tone? Not sure if he got the meanin behind it. Anyways.. He is very domineering and super straight forward. He argues with me and tries to prove his point and then i'll try to prove mine and then i'll still win cuz it's written in black and white. And then he'll start apologising.. He tries to overpower me. Ok.. Fine.. So i'm pretty new to leadin a group and stuff.. But.. I'm JUST DOING MY JOB! Hello?? I may be alot younger then you.. But.. Won't you just stop it for the sake of the rest? The rest just sat there and stared at him. I could feel that the rest were feeling the same way as me. Trust me. And ya, I know that you may have practised at home or may have some musical background. But.. You really need to give the rest a chance. They haven't learnt it yet! Don't move on ahead of the others! So he was yoddling on and on and on.. And the rest just.. Couldn't find their way. And even when i stopped playing the piano.. He CONTINUED! I mean.. Seriously.. I really wanna tell you but i don't know how to phrase it in a nice way. And i can only pray that you'll realise that being in a choir is about working together as a group and not an individual. You may have memorised and know the notes well. But.. It's about blendin in and helping each other out. You just stop as and when you like and then come in as LOUD as you can and it just ruins the entire song! I can't even get my pitch right when i sit beside you. And it's just so difficult!

After the entire choir practise, uncle Biao came up to me and told me that one member in my group was off pitch. Towards the flat/sharp whatever.. and i immediately pointed out who it was and uncle Biao also acknowledged. I mean.. CAN'T YOU HEAR YOURSELF? If it were me. I'd me too embarrassed to sing the rest of the song and i'll try coming in SOFTLY! But you don't do it that way. We don't need a LEAD TENOR you know? You sound like a spoilt trombone who can't control your tone and volume. And yet he still yacks on. I'm terribly sorry i couldn't deliver my job as a tenor leader or whatever you call it. I just.. Couldn't do it. The only reason why they split the tenors and the bass was cuz they wanted sectionals to be more efficient and effective. Obviously it didn't work out. The bass improved alot! And the tenors were still.. there.. I seriously dunno how to tell you this. Yien told me that direct people tend to accept direct comments since they are of that category. But i'm afraid it might hurt him.. I'm sorry.. Sorry if i caused anyone to be hostile toward me after readin this entry..
