Show Choir Experience

this week, monday to thursday, my workplace is the official venue for Show Choir Experience, a 4-days show choir workshop organised by Singapore Show Choir Academy. 7 schools attended this workshop, and my workplace is one of the schools.

Singapore Show Choir Academy invited Brendan Jennings and Jennifer Oundjian from Powerhouse Show Choir, Los Angeles, to conduct the workshop.

this 4 days i have been running around, making sure all venues and logistics are prepared, making phone calls here and there to do lots of coordination, and typing lots of whatsapp messages. 

thank goodness due to my past experience as the O Levels Presiding Examiner and as CSM during reservist, i am used to all these and everything seems pretty much manageable. :)

the perks of hosting this workshop is that i get to meet Meryl, one of the Final 1 finalists, who was also one of the instructors to conduct the workshop. she is really pretty! i also get to meet Asher Su, also one of the instructors. he conducted the Dramatization workshop, whereby drama skills are essential in show choir, because you need strong expressions to connect with the audience. this is especially so for my show choir kids, because they are performing 'At The End Of The Day', whereby lots of acting is required as it is a powerful song with powerful lyrics.

if you dunno who is asher su, here he is:

the guy wearing the cap is asher su!
