MAYFLOWER CHINESE ORCHESTRA

2011-04-23T01:34:00.003+08:00

Chinese Orchestra #26

Mayflower Secondary School : GOLD !

Although we didn't get our desired Gold With Honours , it's okay!
It's really the whole process that counts. (:
I only see One orchestra together, not individuals.
Practicing hard, enjoying the practices together.

We have a common goal. Not any of the awards.
But to do our best , giving all we have.
That's what makes us the best.
In our hearts, we know deep down that we are of GoldWithHonours standard.
Let's all stop thinking about all those mistakes and admire our GOLD award! :D

We owe our achievements to ZhengLaoShi, teachers in charge, seniors.
THANKYOU to all of you. Without you guys, we will not be who are today.
And of course, everyone of you in MFCO. Thankyou!

Being in MFCO, is the best thing i've had.
Do you feel the same way? (:

[Edited 3rdApril 3:23AM]

Exactly 22 more days to 20th April .
Remove all the non CO days. How many practices left before SYF?

MFCO batch of 2011 .
I remembered, when we first got our Choice Piece ; 冬 ..
We all felt that we could not do it, to the original speed .
We were all relaxed, didn't really bother to practice it .

Look at us now, we did it.
Nothing is impossible as long as you put your heart and soul into it.
We must all be proud of ourselves. (:

Remember how ZLS used to shout at us ?
When we didn't meet his expectations.
Remember we switched to "沙迪尔传奇" for a period of time?
After we sort of finish the song, ZLS asked us.
Whether we can do it if he switch our choice piece back to 冬.
Initially, not everyone was confident. As Dong is so much harder .
Clear away all the doubts! What's left, to percect our 冬 alright! ^^

You know, when he expects alot from us, it means that he looks up to us, he know that we can do better, that we are capable of doing it, but we did not show it. He wants us to give our best.

It really doesn't matter what award we get for this year's SYF.
Hardwork, determination, Passion, Teamwork.
Just give your best shot.
Prove to others what our orchestra can do.
As long as we did our best, there's nothing to regret.

Close your eyes, enjoy the music, enjoy yourselves.
MOVEEEEE with the music. (:

There's only ONE chance of going SYF with the same people, as an orchestra.
Every single one of us is important. Remember that.

Why are we practicing so hard for?
For that few minutes on stage.
For the unity .
For our passion.

After practicing hard for many months, this is the time.
The time to prove what we really are.
The time to play a music that touches everyone.

Have faith in ourselves. We can do it.
Together as one orchestra.
美华华乐团！

Great job for Friday's exchange in our school with eight other schools!

However, we know we did not do our best !

There's still mistakes for us to amend !

Don't get complacent with the praises !

Continue to work hard .

Remember, if our target is Gold with Honors, we must aim for the highest !

Just do our best . We can do it, as a whole Orchestra (:

Great job for today's marketing!

Although it's still not the best, although there's still mistakes here and there.

But we improved quite along in these two songs!

Just take note a few points, not repeating them in the next marketing .

Im not so sure about some of the wrong notes, but you should sort of know it yourself :X

1. We should play louder!

We might think it's loud up there on stage but the audience might not think so.

2. The melodies should be louder, and the ban`4 zhou`4 to be a little softer.

3. During performances, if the speed of a melody "accidentally" goes faster, follow it. Listen to the music, play along with it.

4. More practice! ZhongRuan's melody should be in lined with erhu's melody in FirstLove.

Lastly, enjoy yourselves in the songs we're playing!
Set in the right mood for each of the songs.

I think you guys did a great job today!

Thankyou for waking up so early for the performance! :D

2010-11-02T21:01:00.002+08:00

"First Love". Kindda blur. Turn up your volumes to hear clearly (:

"Mambo No.5" by Marsiling CO.

Here are two songs we're currently working on.

Also, We'll be playing "First Love" and "TingHai" for both the marketings.

Familiarise yourselves with the songs.

JIAYOU! :D

Some quotes to share :D

"It is extremely important to be persistent in all that you do, do not give up just because it seems difficult. Next, you have to be focused, to be really clear of what you want to achieve. Lastly, you have to develop your passion. If you have passion, the battle is already half won! "

"There are no secrets to success. Pay attention during lessons, have enough rest and do not wait until the last minute to clarify doubts or study."

"Focus on your goal, have a clear game plan and manage your time well!"

2010-03-15T01:50:00.012+08:00

Hope you guys can reflect on your performance and behaviour on Arts Night as well as normal practices. Here are some questions for you to ponder about.

Did you give your best shots for every concert? Or is CO a burden to you cos it takes up much time which you could have used to rest/play/study? Have you ever wondered why did you join CO? If you are going to join CO throughout your entire secondary school life, do you want to learn something out of passion, enjoy and share it with your friends or waste your time in CO by being late and slacking around, learning nothing but gossips?

Did you know how our conductor, instructors, seniors and teachers painstakingly build up this team to what it has today? Did you ever care for the team before? Are you gamed enough to take up the challenge by committing yourself to CO and show everyone how well you can play?

Hopefully you guys can learn to cherish your instruments, music stands, anything and everything of CO more, play your instruments because you love music and influence one another to love one another, instruments and CO! RMB OUR 三大爱？爱华乐爱乐器爱大家and one more -爱郑老师?

At least be punctual and practise harder, won't you? No pain no gain! (:

We have to give our best starting now. A little effort goes a long way. If everybody puts in effort, then reaching our goal will be possible. Don't give up! :D We can do this together. Remember, everybody plays a part!

Next year will be a busy year. Be prepared for performances for CCA Exhibition and Chinese New Year, both which lies in January. We have chosen Ju Hua Tai by Jay Chou for the CCA exhibtion. You will get your scores when you come back. Try your best in learning the song, but please do not neglect other songs, especially those for SYF.
