Choir Competition... T.T

With less than a month's rehearsal, with a pianist which was found 2 days b4 competition, finally my school choir team was at Dewan Sri Pinang on 6th May for Penang State Inter-School Competition...

Before our turn, we sat down & listen to other school..
I expected some school to come with costumes (other than school uniform), but to my suprise, all the school's members did not wear school uniform, except for my team.

Well, 1st round presentation, K.O..

Then, their singing.. They sound so good (of course, with all that training).
My team sang Tanah Airku & Sejahtera Malaysia.
There were 2 schools that sang the exact song (Tanah Airku), with exact arrangement of parts.
They sang sweetly....... Singing - K.O..

Ok, I think to myself.. My team will survive..

Then we was called out to wait for our turn..
We had a last practice b4 going on stage..
I was the conductor by the way.. Then I started my conducting..
Waving my hand as they sing..
Hey not bad!! They actually sing better than rehearsal in school..

Then it's our turn.. All in position on stage..
The pianist started playing..
Hey, her tempo was wrong.. She played the song slower than usual..
Oh goodness.. When I started conducting, everyone was lost due to the piano..
But luckily, they pick it up after a while.. *Hwooh!!*
At the ending, the audience clap..

2nd song.. Sejahtera Malaysia was great.. The pianist play with the right tempo, and their singing was good!! I can finally hear the parts 'harmonising' which I cant hear during rehearsal..
It ended with applause..

Thank You Guys !!

Anyway, we lost..
1st Heng Ee
2nd Penang Chinese Girls'
3rd Chung Ling

By the way, good experience..
