Went for Unity in Rhapsody concert yesterday.
Met Wei Cheng, Su Ling and Cheryl at Woodlands MRT station. We then made our way to the Cultural Centre @ Republic Polytechnic. Once there, we saw the many displays of artwork done by some of the Unity Secondary students. Some of their works are quite nice. We stayed around and then Ms Lee came to bring us in. The interior of the concert hall was really cool. We only went up to find the choir members after 5.30pm as they were having their rest before performance. They were preparing to put on make-up for the girls. There was this new teacher, Ms Chua, if I remember clearly, taking charge of choir alongside Ms Lee. They then had a short practice before the performance. At about 6.20pm, we head back down to the entrance as the doors will be open at 6.30pm and so in order to get good seats, we have to be down early. Saw quite a few friends there.
On to the performance now. First up was the band performance. They are still as big as ever and as good as before. I quite like the music. Second was the Indian Dance put up by a few girls. They weren't that bad but I must say the secondary one dancer was better than the other two. After that, it was the Indian Orchestra. The music they played was the same as what they have always played. Following up was a drama performance by the ELDDS titled: Seven Deadly Sins. It was quite well put up. Up next was the choir performance singing 4 songs. Most of the songs were quite good except for one of the song which ended rather oddly. Lastly was the dance troupe performing: Angel and Devil. After the performance, there was the finale. The music Go the Distance by Michael Bolton was played. All the performers came out holding a small Unity flag. It appeared like a propaganda parade. After the song, the old school song was played followed by the new school song. Went to take photos with the choir members after everyone started leaving. Had dinner at the food court near CCK bus interchange with Cheryl, Wei Cheng, Su Ling, You Yang and Gary.
Photos can be found from Cheryl's blog.
I just realized how much I miss UniqVoices and Unity. It really brings back memories of the wonderful time I had back in secondary school. Miss all the juniors and some teachers.
If only time could turn back...............
