School song makeover

Apart from the school hall getting a makeover, the time has come when our well loved school song also has a makeover.

The choir girls under the supervision of the choir teacher Cik Nik Syawani have been practicing hard and they sounded so wonderfully sweet when we heard them practicing in 4 Anggerik room while we were having a staff meeting in the APD room. I just could not resist it. I had to pop over to 4 Anggerik to see how many girls were actually singing because it sounded like there were so many of them. Surprise! Guess how many girls I found? Only 6 girls but whoa ... they sounded awesome!

Today, I drove these 6 girls- Teoh Wei Yee, Pavitra, Dimple, Jaz Lyn, Janice and Diana to Majestic Oracle at Tabernacle of David for the recording of the school song.

Mak Kien Loong kindly and graciously did the recording for us FOC. Wow! Earlier some else had quoted me a minimum basic of RM 500/- for a recording. Thank you Mak and thank you TOD.

Mak briefed the girls through what they had to do. As usual , Mak was gentle and clear and cool and that did much to calm the girls who were recording for the very first time.

Mak started with the pianist Teoh Wei Yee. He recorded her playing first. Next 3 singers were called in to sing together with the music track. We watched them through the glass window of the recording studio

Then the next batch of singers went in to the studio and the first 3 singers - Jaz Lyn, Dimple and Pavitra exited.

Finally all 6 girls went in and sang together. Imagine how happy we felt when we heard the recording! It was so good to hear their sweet voices so clearly especially when I compared it to our previous minus 1 track which must have been done many many years ago. See how happy and relieved the girls are when their work is finally done and they have finished the recording. Now the girls can relax. After visiting the most important place - the loo, they go around testing the many musical instruments. Rain sticks, gongs, many types of drums, etc...! They have fun singing whilst Wei Yee plays the grand piano at TOD. From their singing, I can see they have been practicing together for a long time. So ... now watch out for the posting of the new makeover of our well loved school song on the school website. We are going to try sing the new version this Monday assembly!
