“Parrarum… parrarum… parrarum… wooooh!!!” rang the voices of some ecstatic high school girls as they huddled together, hands piled, one on top of the other to execute their customary cheer! Congratulations were in order for the day for one Sekolah Menengah Convent Bukit Nanas (CBN). It was official – they’d won 1st place in the state’s inter-school choir competition. Words could hardly describe the electricity in the air fueled from weeks of grueling rehearsals, the pressure of having to keep up with last year’s win, the teachers’ hopes as well as just plain wanting it bad!
I was privileged to coach some of the most hard-working and dedicated girls I’d ever met. Between sessions of learning up their notes, polishing their pitching, incorporating dance moves, responding to the drill sergeant-like commands (which they thoroughly enjoyed – I swear!), and some really funny “meatball” moments (Girls, you know what this is all about!) these young ladies put in many, many hours of practice by themselves. They were already champions by nature.
Farah Hanna and Naili, you girls shone like stars; Liana, what would they do without your guiding hands? Edeline – that Justin’s gotta call someday! Celine a.k.a. “meatball”, I’m still pushing for that mascot’s outfit! And who could forget the genius of an arranger – Annette, you go way beyond your years; and many of the other girls whose names are too numerous to mention – you are all in my heart.
A special thanks goes out to Mrs. See Tho for caring only like a mother would; Mrs. Chee, for your oversight; and the talented and dedicated Miss Joaan Foo – the girls are indebted to you! I would also like to honor Mrs. Ann Khoo – the Principle, for your support.
Well, it’s off to the nationals now for the young Wilayah representatives. The competition will be held on the 4th of September in Terengganu. Here’s rooting for the best. And girls – I’m so proud of you!
