In the Quest for Perfection
Hey everyone reading this blog?? Maybe it should be ANYONE READING THIS BLOG???
*quiet*
ok. it's official. nobody is reading the blog. and since nobody is perfect. MR PERFECT is reading the blog. *lame haha*
it's been a really tiring tuesday and the most exciting so far for me. we had mini presentation for my groups this week. i was really quite nervous about it. for the first time after so many practices hiding in the YIH toilet, we're finally seeing some light from the outside world and of course inevitably seeing light from outside world also meant seeing some "constructive feedback" from everyone. i'm not saying it's a bad thing though *seriously*
looking at the progress of our groups, we've indeed came a long way from no scores, to 1 part scores to what we're having now decent sounding groups. many of the groups have
pitched,
tuned,
bitched(over who comes late),
fought(over who gets to use the mikes),
snatched(each other's group member due to people singing for more than 1 group)
and
sweated(over the spoiled aircon at the cac room)
to reach this point in our concert preparation.
nevertheless, in the quest for perfection we are not stopping to celebrate our decent sounding groups but to continue to strive for the perfect sounding groups.
it's ok we know that most of our audience don't know our music and probably can't tell if the minor 7th chord is accurate or if the solo is a quarter tone flat (i can't tell, i've no music background) but we cannot excuse ourselves for our failure to give our best, in the quest for personal perfection, there's no room for second best.
brace yourself as we show case our best efforts on 28 june at UCC =)
