SYF 2007 - Day 2 & 3

Hmm... i can only say that 2nd and 3rd day are better than the first!!! And i sat thru the whole of day 2... and unfortunately missed RV's on day 3... cos they were the first grp... and i was late.. damn... Then i realised that i always miss RV's one... 6yrs ago they were in front of us so we didn't really get to hear... 4yrs ago when we reach there their turn was already over... 2 yrs ago i didn't go... and this year.. missed again... fated! haha.

Anyways.. just a summary of this year's results... there wasn't any COP given... maybe they were more lenient... maybe they really feel that the schools were not that bad... or maybe they weren't encouraged to give COP... so those that i think were very lousy were all awarded bronze... so out of 57 schools that took part... there were 13 Bronzes... which i think as compared to past years.. it's much less lah.. so a good thing i guess... 23 Silvers... quite a large no.. And SAC is one of them... err... not much comment... it's just true that they weren't as good as other schools... although i didn't think that all the schools that got gold were up to the standard either... And then 16 Golds... and lastly 5 Gold with Honours... Gold schools are ACS(Barker), AHS, BDS, Zhonghua, NgeeAnn, Mayflower, RGS, CCHS Yishun, Temasek, Marsiling, CCHSM, VS, St. Nicholas, Woodgrove, RI and HCI. (in order of appearance during the comp).. and Gold with Honours goes to DHS, Cat High, NYGH, RV and Pasir Ris... Some were really surprises as i feel that they didn't really performed well.. from my perspective lah.. so i dunno.. my ears aren't as good as the judges'... haha.

Of all i watched/listened... i think mr low's schools really did well... esp. when the last time i heard them i was shaking my head... rgs was good also... cchs yishun's chang cheng was rather impressive.. cchsm's qin bing was good too... and st. nics was good! Esp. their choice piece... the suonas were super zai lah... for a girls' school to say.. and i was impressed by BDS' performance that day as well... :) And this year the good thing is.. there's a lot of interesting songs that i've never heard be4... thou there were some super boring ones and some not up-to-sec-sch-level songs... But mostly were seldom heard... =)

Hopefully JC's will be even nicer! haha!!! Looking forward to it on 10may. :)))
