Us leaders have an idea about us choir singing some choral pop songs like Korean pop, Chinese pop, English pop and all rather than the usual choral style.
Any suggestions? Post them on the tagboard!
e.g. Nobody, Sorry Sorry, Glee
I personally think we should sing Somebody To Love by the Glee Cast! But please don't suggest songs like Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls although I like them or Lucifer by SHINee (i know some of you girls like SHINee~) because they will be too hard to arrange and Gene will die.
Woohoo I am so excited about this so please give some suggestions asap! Most probably we'll ask again before the Gioia concert tomorrow. Remember, 6.45pm at the Esplanade Art Gallery! Please do not wear slippers or shorts and wear appropriate clothing. Be punctual! You guys can bring a piece of paper to note down which song you like best and why and tell on Monday. Easiest way to get there is by MRT, you can change stations to Serangoon or Dhoby Ghaut via North East Line then to Esplanade MRT station and you can find your way to the Art Gallery.
Also, choir practice from 1pm-5pm on Monday!

reach out for the skies
At a time when hope was low
The journey seemed unsure
But through it all
We've kept the flame alive
Now standing proud and tall
Our spirit strong and free
Building on hopes and dreams
It's here we want to be
Chorus
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
We'll make our destiny
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies
When I think about my dreams
The future it can be
The time has come for me
To strive and to achieve
With hopes within our hearts
As one hand in hand
For family and our friends

Let's do the best we can
Chorus
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
We'll make our destiny
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
We'll make our destiny
Let's reach out for the skies
With wings we soar up high
Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies
Our dreams we'll all achieve
Let's soar and reach for the skies
We can touch the skies..

How Png Gene made CVSS choir history.
Our journey to Genting was exhausting. We braved the harsh weather, traveled up mountains and hills and crossed rivers and bridges on horses. After 3 very long hours, we arrived.
We walked our horses to the stables provided by the kind hotel people and went back to the hotel to get some rest.
On the 2nd and 3rd day, we practiced very hard. Armed with our swords and armors, we sang songs of flowing rivers and underaged princesses. Very tough, indeed.
On the 4th day, we had a friendship performance. We were all very nervous. But we all knew that we could not escape performing. We all took a deep breath and were led on stage by our glamorous conductor.
I was given the most difficult task of all. To play the piano. However, I could not locate the piano. It was no where to be seen. COULD IT BE THE DRAGONS? I've always known that they were up to something. But alas! My sharp eyes spotted the piano. It was on the ground, not on the stage! My heart started to pound. I have to get to the piano! The choir is nothing without their noble pianist. I braced myself as I stood at the edge of the stage. Gingerly, I lifted my gown. Just when I was going to jump off the stage...
I was saved by a knight in shining armor (on a handsome horse)! Could it be.... ? Sir Alex Gaskarth! Why, never in my wildest dreams would I ever... "Fear not, my lady! For I will direct you to the path of righteousness!" He picked me off the ground and placed me behind him. The bunch of beavers behind him squeaked eagerly as the horse trotted to the middle of the stage.
STAIRS! This knight is a genius. I gave him a curtsy and he nodded. "I will return for you," he said with a kind smile. I walked down the stairs and went to the piano. Then, the performance started.
That, my pickles, was the long awaited story.
Love,
Gene.

Three country dances.
Today, Jeng Woon, You Hui and I went for a choir workshop. We sang this.
It's quirky and fun! We don't have the music for this (Cos we were late + we missed the first lesson) so the choir can't sing it ): Unfortunate.

Soprano 2-Choir homework
This is a song composed by Eric Whitacre.
The song talks about a mother's love (just a thought).
Lyrics:
Oh hush thee, my baby
The night is behind us
And black are the waters that sparkled so green
The moon or the cold looks downward to find
At rest in the hollow that wrestle between
Where pillow meet pillow
Then soft be thy prayer
A weary beat flipper
Is curled at thy knees
The storm shall not wake thee
Nor shark overtake thee
Asleep in the arms of this slow swinging sea
Where pillow meet pillow
Then soft be thy prayer
A weary beat flipper
Is curled at thy knees
The storm shall not wake thee
Nor shark overtake thee
Asleep in the arms of this slow swinging sea
Lyrics from here
