Harlow,

after a long hiatus, i'm finally back, lots have happened and didn't have the time or energy to document, but all's well. Just finished with ABRSM exam, having to conduct 3 choirs back to back was absolutely terrifying and draining. I didn't think I would survive, but I did. So glad now the mad rush is over. Here are my choirs who took the exam.

St Nick's Primary
St Nick's Primary went first. They were rather nervous at first, but they managed to calm down eventually. I think they enjoyed themselves ultimately and that was good.

Consonance
Next up was Consonance, which is an amateur youth choir, made up of ex-NYJCians and various ex-students of my existing choirs. They sat for Intermediate level and was equally nervous. I think it was more worrying coz I didn't have time to run through with them before the exam. But all was well, the sound was rather tight and there was good energy and feel.

Le Voci Entro
Last but certainly not least, was Bishan Park Secondary and they gave a stella performance. They exceeded my expectations and I was truly impressed. Hope the examiner thinks so too. I really think they deserve a big break.

That's all for now, will update more when I can find the time and energy.
