Choir!!

This post will be about choir.
It's been almost 2 years since I last saw that word appearing in my life. So it all happened just yesterday evening, following a phone call from my ex- choir president, Kheng Hian...
I was told that our choir conductor was forming a Kranji alumni choir and was invited to join. I was seriously quite taken by surprise, even when I saw that it was Kheng Hian calling me. But of course, I gladly accepted and thus settled to meet up for a practice this morning at 9.30am at KSS. After hanging up the call though, I felt panic start to creep in. Not due to having committed to choir though, but coz I haven't sung with a choir for quite a long while( since when I last left Kranji Choir bout 2 years ago), and that I haven't been in touch with music for almost just as long a period of time. Yes, that means not having touched the piano as well which will be a problem if I've to play. I was also quite sure my voice was kinda "rusty" and that I would probably be croaking rather than singing. Another worry was of going back to Kranji Sec. Frankly speaking, I haven't been going back to my sec school that often and the thought of going back always makes me panic, especially entering the school alone. Dun ask me why.. it's just like that!
Anyways, managed to wake up early this morning and rushed down to KSS, reaching just slightly after 9.30. My worry of meeting teachers was instantly gone when I saw the empty school. There wasn't even the security there and so I just walked in and headed to outside of the art room. Not many came back though. Saw some familiar faces, some good frens. Well, apparently I was the only tenor back again. Then we chatted while waiting for our sets of scores to be printed. After that went into the art room and joined the rest of the choir. They were singing a piece which I did not know so didn't really sing much. Only like about 30 mins into the practice did I realise that we were practising the SYF set piece. Wow... no wonder the conductor was being so "picky" with the details. Did try to sing a little after a while and at bout 11.10, the practice ended.
Well, apparently the Alumni Choir isn't going to take up too much time but from what I see, just to help out with the current choir and for the alumni to get together. Practices are on Saturdays from 9.oo. So, I'm just going to join the Alumni Choir for now and take part as actively as I can as I will have to spend more time on my studies towards the end of the year.
