was talking to xin long all night and realized he's also from choir previously !! it's been like ages since i've been training and this conversation triggered those memories back then. so i began hopping around videos and have got quite some to share =)

these are mainly from the fine arts category. watch them if you want to =)

first let's start of with NP linkage =) our ACA group, mainly the seniors. i find this song a light hearted and enjoyable one =D







and then a dance by ACJC. they got gold with honours in their SYF competition with this impressive performance.






followed by MILITARY BAND =))) three big rivals, Bowen, TKSS and Deyi. i only post videos of Bowen and TKSS cause i personally do not like the culture of Deyi's Band, reason not to be mentioned here ^^


first up, BOWEN BAND in year 2004 !! reason being, i was there haha !! =) somewhere near the person who took this video. i loved the music then. experiencing it live, it's a feeling i'll never forget, the feeling of pride. although we did not win the Best Display Band nor the Best Drum Major, i feel that we did the best =D







the real impressive one is here. TKSS in year 1996 !!! such an old video. the foot drills were darn perfect like bian tai de LOL !!! i couldn't find Bowen's video in 1994, if not it'll awe you like mad. i heard that the drum major actually spinned the mace up to sucha height that even the main camera couldn't record it LOL !!! Bowen was still the best at that time. nevertheless, presenting TKSS in 1996 =)







then the standard drops like any other band, it's still good to have our alumnis around luh. TKSS in 2002.







next two videos are from Bowen Band in 2006 and 2008 =) the drum majorette was goooodddd !!! although we're not Gold with Honours anymore but i believe we've learnt to take pride in whatever we have and whatever we've come by. we will be better, in times to come. i hope more people will join the band, so that the whole thing can rise again =)











next up !!! SPOOFING !!! VJC peeps are really good at it. not their main group, but this random one i found. i feel that these two girls have more talent than the guys who did "huo yuan jia" for the formal competition. enjoy =)








definitely not forgetting the most important part of my memories, choir =) it started off with this video of AJC choir at changi airport after they've won the WCG (world choir games) singing the anthem of their choir.

WARNING: for all the videos below, DO NOT max your volume unless you wanna go deaf. medium volumes will do =)








and below are a few of my favourite songs by top-notch choirs like Raffles Chorale, VJC, TKSS, Taipei Chambers, Philippine Madrigal Singers and some Indonesia Choir as well.

first, Elijah Rock by Raffles Chorale. all time fav song !!!








second fav !!! Pok Pok Alimpako by Raffles Chorale too.








third song will be Binamma, firstly by Taipei Chambers, followed by the version by TKSS. both have different intepretations, equally good, just that sound quality of the gadget used to record is different that's why TKSS's performance may seem lacklustre. but they're definitely not =)












VJC at China, Xiamen for competition. intimidating piece by the composer, but well brought out by VJC and their conductor, my most respected idol in the choir industry, Mr Nelson Kwei =)









below are two real good chorales from the Philippines and Indonesia bringing you Pamugun and Sigulempong.













for those who know nuts about fine arts should be like dozing off already. for those who knows, hope you guys have enjoyed yourself =D brings back lotsa memories right =)))
