Last night’s anniversary celebration was a success – with the host of VIPs, ex-principals, alumni, current students, ex-teachers and current teachers all attending the occasion. I’m glad that we finally pulled it through after months of preparation and rehearsals.
The choir put up a good show and though the songs performed were not technically demanding, they were crowd-pleasers as such occasions require. I felt that the new choir gown is lovely but some of my girls would tell you that it looks very gay. Well, its the overall stage effect that matters at the end of the day. This purple fabric has a electric blue tinge at a certain angle and has that royal feel which in my opinion is uncommon and attractive as compared to other school choirs’ gowns. I admit that the design is nothing to shout about though … we were constrained by time and budget.
Anyway, I’m happy that the headache of sourcing for the tailor, gown design, fabrics and budget is all behind me now. :) It was quite an undertaking.
just my 2cents worth…
i think as far as possible, the performing groups of a sch should have attire that represents/reflects the sch’s colour. -shrug-
the material is quite nice ^^ my school colour is blue but choir wears red LOL
and i understand the frustration… i had to coordinate the band uniform last time and it was madness =P
when it comes to uniforms, when u wear it alone at home, without the make-up and look in the mirror, it will look weird, tacky etc. but when everyone wears it together and you stand on stage, with the lighting, atmosphere n all, the effect can be v nice ^^
Hi Ann, ya it wasn’t a smooth-sailing business the gown tailoring was! And I totally agree with you about the overall effect of uniforms on stage under stage lights. :)
