Hcco 07

Part 1: Syf showcase.

10/07/07



Took quite a while to organise my thoughts, after all it comprises of memories of a long, yet short, one and a half years...



Had the last CO performance....



Started the day with a weird dream... In the dream, i was walking along the carpark road in between the amphitheatre and audi. It was quite blurish so i couldnt really make out who i was with. Just had this feeling that im with the CO peeps, the usual familiar laughters. I dunno y, dunno wat jokes or niaoing we were having in the dream, but i just knew that im happy, everyone ard me is happy. We laughed n laughed.....till my alarm woke me up. =s



Started listening to our syf's piece on my way to school. Really felt like emoing. Random but vivid memories, images of practices seem to come to my mind while listening to dadi.



Reached sch at an unholy hour, 7?! Saw wenqi and szuan coming shortly after i reached my classbench. CO breakfast haha~ Gradually, chris n eunice joined us, followed by many more slowly. It seems that everyone really has the feeling that its our last time to be together le. Even though we were really stoning n wasting time in front of the drink stall, everyone just, joined in without questioning much, trying to cherish the last few memories we hav together huh...



Had dazu practice, from 330 to 5. Weilao modified the 渐强 parts, making them more zai. Apart from that, we merely had brief run-throughs. soon, its time to leave...



Reached SCH and after a while we were getting ready to go on stage. Surprisingly and unfortunately, i still dun hav the feeling that its our last performance, though just feel that its something special.



"要为我们演奏的是华乐团八,华侨中学(高中部)....." The words from the emcee during syf echoed from my mind. Was getting ready and smiling to various CO members as the emcee continues to introduce our piece this time.... Felt really happy to be able to be on stage with everyone :)



"让我们欢迎指挥, 魏严明博士” We stood up as wei lao shi took his bow. Suddenly felt vv proud of our CO to the extent of arrogance. "上台就要(好练)一点" Told myself: "We rocked, lets own the stage." The first note started.



开头: weilao gav a wrong handsign during the 1st 减弱, resulting in us not playing softly suddenly at the same time. Sort of affected by it. Darn! better play well for erhu melody man..



主旋律: Was trying to think of the past co events while playing it. -.-, couldnt do like wat they do in dramas argh. However, the melody was still not bad, had goosebumps once in the mid of the melody.



三重奏: I felt it was really not bad, comparable to the syf 1. Great job Szuan! :D 不愧是 my mei! hahaha. not forgetting the other two who had been working hard all the while, hongfei and juliana. :)



急板/结尾: Sort of forced myself to get "high", since there wun be any chances in the future. Can sort of feel how the rest of the co r thinking. "Its the end.." "Lets pia!" "I must put in all my best in these few minutes."



The highlight of the entire performance: the last note of the piece. It wasnt supposed to be a highlight of the piece, but it seems that everyone entrusted all their feelings into it. The note vanished after a 音头. Then slowly, gradually, it grew, and grew and manifested to a point where even us the performers, felt that its scary, scary. SCH was overwhelmed by it. It almost seemed that at this point, us, HCCO, we were shouting to the rest that "We are rocking this stage, it belongs to us." Magnification of what an individual can achieve by 80+ times, like wat zhengyou had said. Ended the piece even louder, so loud that the note and the gong echo round the SCH. Saw blank faces which only started to nod after a few seconds.
It felt like syf.
We knew we did it again.
We did it indeed.
