YTPS Angklung SAYANG Ensemble went for SYF Competition today. Meimei is playing the Marimba M1. Jiejie used to play the same instrument, saw her name still on the mallet when she went back to help recently. Ana had been training the students 3x/wk since Jan. Give them a pat!
The performers missed lessons to rehearse after 10am today. Glad to know Lyn, a new PSG. 4 parents were tying hair & 6 applying make-up for 43 performers. Ex-performers; Kimberly Yr4 River Valley High & a Unity Sec 1 girl came to give moral support.
Nostagic flashback of Jiejie's batch attaining the 1st gold in 2004, wa.. 6 yrs ago, how time flies! All were glad to see the 1st principal, Ms Tan then for moral support. Also incident of 1 missing instrument that I quickly rushed back to YTPS in a lorry, delivered just in time for Angklung competition.
Watched 4 groups of pri sch performed in Republic Poly Theatre. Do-Ra-Me song played by Marie Stella boys was very energetic except they were dressed in their plain sch uniforms. Xinhua Pri came with super tall Angklung Bass, had to be stilted slowly thru the door to go on-stage.
YTPS played Di Tanjong Katong & Hungarian Dance. Some kids were nervous, the smaller angklung were a bit too soft. Had enjoyed Lyn's company for the day.
Result : SILVER (a little disappointed after 3 straight golds in 04, 06 & 08)
