Well well well... Montfort Chorale had their concert on Friday. It was a combined concert with Westwood Secondary and the overall performance wasn't that fantastic. Apparently, the concert should be named as Westwoodssivo rather than Montpressivo since Westwood took away all the lime light.... Haha... They are definitely better than Montfort Chorale but I feel that being the guest choir, they should at least give the main choir more performance time. Oh well, its the conductor's decision so I shall not comment much.
Montfort Chorale's entrance into CHIJMES was very very impressive as it was like a procession. Their conductor did a solo performance as he walked into the hall and he was followed closely behind by the choir. All the lights were off and the choir members were holding candles as they walked in. So cool! Well, the first two songs, "Procession" and "When Jesus Wept", were the best songs for the concert. The rest were not that bad (but not that good either). So, no complains. Anyway, the seniors (including me) are already not impressed by their concert booklet (we paid 12 dollars for a piece of photocopied paper) so we were already quite pissed with the planning. However, us being nice and forgiving seniors (ha!) continued to cheer them on... Hehe... since we are so not forgotten...
Overall, its quite heart warming to see them put up their third installment of Montpressivo. How I wish their standard can improve... Haiz... Hopefully things will change for the better. Anyway, after the concert, the alumni went on stage and sang "One Single Light"! woot! We rock! haha... however, due to my lousy piano skills, we stopped singing in the middle of the song. But it was quite tactical lar (It sounded like the song has ended... heez). The greatest part of all was when both the alumni and the choir sang "The Battle of Jericho" and I conducted them. Haha... very nice to see that there is actually one song which both the alumni and present choir members can sing together... Although it was two completely different interpretations, we still managed to pull it off lar... So no complains... ha! So glad that so many alumni peeps can make it for the concert. 4 couples came... (increase from the 1 last year) Hiak hiak hiak...
After the concert, we went our separated ways. The 4 meridians went to Suntec Carls Jr while the 3 couples plus a few others went to Marina Carls Jr. (Not that we want to go separate ways ok... we actually wanted to have dinner together but in fear of being light bulbs, the four meridians decided to separate from them... hiakz...).
At Carls Jr, we managed to teach Jason CKL some life skills (you really don't want to know what questions he asked when he was there... haha) which is important for him to break out of his mountain tortoise shell and be freed from the sua ku spirit that was possessing him for the last 16 years. Oh well... the four of us were very crazy on the way there and even at Carls Jr itself, we were crazy. (Many people has given us THE stare...) What to do... We are so proud to be Meridians what... haha =X Anyway, here are the photos we took at Carls Jr...
