The curtain rises, the shine on the
bleacher at the back of the stage. A band of students in white and black begin
to sing, and their voices ring through the auditorium. As part of the school
choir that performed on Founder’s Day, I had the opportunity to take part in
this event and I am very happy I did so. Initially, I was very apprehensive
about joining the choir because it is not a very popular club in my school.
Unlike other schools, my school does not have a permanent choir where students
who are interested are invited to join; instead a rather chaotic method is used
where choirs are put together as necessary.
When I was younger, I used to be part of
the school choir but it was after a break of around 5 years that I took part in
this one. Practicing with Mr. Denzel and the rest of the group helped me get
better and more confident, and as one of the only bass voices in the ensemble,
it was quite a good experience. Was our choir perfect? Of course not, but we did the best we could in
the time that we had, and because I had to juggle responsibilities and change
really quickly because I was also one of the hosts of the event, it was an even
more energetic performance. Although we certainly didn’t blow the crowd away with
our amazing vocal styling, I’m sure that with some practice and time to develop
we could become much better.
