four-minute frenching.

TO THE OB JMS:
Summay of 25-03-08 practice

Performance preparation: LEFT BRAIN
- Memorize lyrics
- Vocal technicalities before practice/performances
- Mic handling:
1. Don’t cover metal part of mic while singing.
2. Hold down, three fingers away from face
3. Don’t pull mic away from face – if it’s too loud, put it slightly to the side of your mouth instead of facing your mouth directly.
- Facial expressions:
1. Eye contact with ALL audience and each other
2. Don’t look at ground/blank out.
3. Look confident
- Posture – Look confident, NO SLOUCHING *smacks myself*
- Body language - Grid 2 movements: movements not too small. Smile while singing happy songs

When on stage: RIGHT BRAIN
- Thoughts? Handle adrenalin. CONTROL YOUR NERVOUSNESS. don’t blank out because there’s a large audience..
- Prepare for “disasters”. If mic dosen’t work/monitor not working/wrong song, inform guys at the side politely.
- Don’t worry about lyrics/pitching: the more you worry the more you’ll forget.
- Have confidence in yourself and don’t care about “face”!
- Enjoy the performance, don’t worry about how you do.

Next class next Tuesday. Come to OB right after school. Janice dosen’t have band practice so we’ll have much more time to practice. Maddie, DON’T SLEEP ALREADY LAH! XD

Saturday 3.30PM – Shopping for clothes. Meet at Orchard MRT control station.

Dresscode: White and black with a bit of ONE other colour, if possible. Going to Maddie’s house after that – may end around 9pm? I have to ask my parents for permission to stay out late but I think it’ll be okay lah.

We seriously need all the practice we can get, people! We’re the only people there who are from the beginners’ class, and after hearing the others sing, I think we’re seriously done for. We need to add a beatboxing segment in the song and get our pitching right, especially for Hurray. We’ve got to sing louder, so that we can hear each other and not end up singing in different keys, like what happened yesterday. That was scary okay. Singing louder dosen’t mean no blending. We’ve got to sing louder but hear one another more at the same time.
SHIT, WE CAN'T LET THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE A BAD IMPRESSION OF US OKAY? WE CANNOT SING WRONG NOTES ALREADY! THERE'S NO SPACE FOR MISTAKES!!!

WE CAN DO IT! JIAYOU JMS!!!!!

i kept telling myself, “okay, last one, last one”, “i’m going to do my a math homework after this”, “just this one more”, “i seriously have to stop soon”, “after this, after this”.
but it didn’t end until 2h 15min later.
haha, i’m addicted to kissing you. (:
