节庆欢舞

An orchestra from Taiwan performing our choice piece 《节庆欢舞》.



Take this as a gauge of how the original piece should sound like.

Go For Gold!

Hi Orchestra Talents!

I would prefer to refer you as orchestra talents, firstly because I understand that you guys have put in much effort over the years to turn your interest and passion in music into an art and skill that you can now be proud of.

Secondly, it sounds better and more professional. :p

Hope you have enjoyed the video presentation and talk by Mr Albert earlier on. Keep your goals in sight, and constantly remind yourselves of what we want to achieve for SYF 2008. I really hope that everyone will work hard towards getting a GOLD for the competition. I understand that the process may be tough but do press on, for I am certain that you guys will enjoy the results of your hard work, and eventually become better people.

Perseverance will definitely pay off. Continuous hard work over time will tell. You will taste the sweetness of the fruit only after going through the hardship of planting and nurturing the tree.

"Life will not give you a gold medal for doing nothing."

Bear this in mind always. Your instructors, teachers-in-charge, and your fellow orchestra talents will be by your side throughout the journey.

Work hard, everyone!

-Mr Kalvin Tan
