Today has been a great SYF day! Thanks people for the encouragement!
We spent the whole morning rehearsing and reached Republic Polytechnic only at around 2 thirty. The rehearsal is quite tiring but encouraging as it brought us into the SYF mode (: Our performance was not too bad lah, just that our first piece was a little unstable.
After that was 15 minutes of camwhoring session which is a bit -.- for the guys haha. Then it is time for announcement of results and we went back to the hall to take our seats. The MC was quite funny lol. He was a little nervous and was saying ‘viooooo-lin’ when introducing one of the judge haha. Can’t believe he actually mixed up the pronunciations of violin and viola lol. The proper announcement was next and we were literally trembling when the results were announced man. It was especially so when RI and Nanyang both only got gold when they are fantastic ensembles and ACJC in front of us got silver.
..Finally the moment came, and it was announced ‘Raffles Junior College.... Gold.. with.. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!’ Haha our cheer totally drowned the ‘Honours’. It was exhilarating haha, something that I have not experienced for so long man! Everyone beside me was cheering like never before and woa man.. that was the craziest 30 seconds in this year hahaa. Now that I think of it and try to relive that moment again I find it pretty funny as we are kind of out of our minds haha. I guess the extreme happiness was due to the fact that we actually in a sense brought ourselves to where we are now through our own efforts, without that much pushing from our conductor like what Trevor did last time. And we are the only JC with GWH man! Haha that is quite an achievement! To J2 past RISE bois: you all rock! 3 GWH in a row man! To everyone else in chamber: Well done! To the row of audience sitting between our two ensemble members: The stunned look on your faces are quite funny haha. Ok I guess that marks the end of my cca career, with a bang. Jiayou to Harmonica ensemble which is having SYF tomorrow! All the best and do our school proud!
