Tech-run 3 afterthoughts

Emerge Concert 2009 Countdown: 23 days!

Tech run 3 held last friday was a successful one. It was also the first time the vocalists get to rehearse with the band members. Vocalists and the band have to learn to coordinate with each other so that programme transitions can run smoothly. And 3 cheers for the band, the drums and electric guitars had really liften up the atmosphere and made the whole session high-HiGh-HIGH.

Apart from the improvements in singing, more polished dance and stage performances were presented compared to the previous tech-runs. Be sure to catch the sexy and macho dance performances on the coming Emerge Concert 2009!

Below are some snapshots taken:

Tech Run 2 Afterthoughts And Random Musings

A little over four weeks to "Emerge 2009" and concert preparations drills are already in full swing. Here's a quick rundown of what have kept us busy and happy for the past week. :)

First Wave Of Publicity Up!

If you have been attending school regularly, you would probably have caught sight of a reasonably disturbing "Caged" poster with a very creepy-looking girl dominating the foreground.

Our peers have spent a greater part of their day getting around school and putting the posters up. For enduring the intellectual intimidation (at certain areas), countless staircases and sweltering heat, props to you guys! And for those who disappeared just when Steph was asking for volunteers, you all have to do PT with Keeonn to improve performance stamina. Just kidding.

Why feature a feature-less, scarlet-lipped female for a singing concert, you ask. It's attention-grabbing; and those lips suggest some latent vocal potential... a potential that can only be attested for if you attend our concert. Therefore, book a ticket. :)

Promo Video Filming

No good concert can go... without a kick-ass promotional video to boot.

Leave that in the hands of a bunch of creative, resourceful and enthusiastic individuals, you get potentially awesome footage.

Some snapshots of the filming process added below.
But we all know stills cannot beat animation, so keep your eyes peeled for the final product!


Practise, Practise, Practise!

Cap 5.0 say what? Us here at CAC Voices, only acknowledge "Emerge 2009" as valid reason for school attendance.

Of course I am kidding. We are geeks who are too afraid to not fulfill our responsibilities as students.
Hence the ardour for the theme "Caged".

Movements on the publicity front aside, our peers have also been hard at work polishing their items and upping performance standards... everyday is a training day for "Emerge 2009".

As mentioned in our first blog post, our practices culminate into a Tech Run assessment every Friday. Here are some snapshots of what occurred during today's session.





The process of preparation-and-evaluation is not a bed of roses, but being so, drives us even harder in bringing out our best for "Emerge 2009".

Today was Tech Run 2.

Another tech run closer to "Emerge 2009" standard. :)

Practices before our lst tech run

Our lst tech run was on 16 jan, fri. After which, we will be having runs on every fridays till our Emerge concert. Before our runs, we have had vocal trainings with our respective vocal instructors. They are really very professional. Really have to thank our 2 vocal instructors who have dedicated so much of their times to us during the holidays and even after term starts=)

Our lst tech run for Emerge!

We had our lst tech run for the concert ytd on 16 jan at 7pm. The room for our tech run was quite small. It didn't have enough space for all of us, so some of us had to wait outside. As we had to wait patiently for our turn to sing, some of us used the waiting time to practise more with their group mates, as more practices will make things more perfect =)

Here are some of the shots during our tech run....

After all the performances, we sat down for a debrief of each individual songs, mainly in terms of our stage presence. The debrief was important as it highlighted to us some minute things during our performance which the performancers might had overlooked. We will learn from the comments we received and hope that the 2nd tech run will be much better!! Gambatte everybody!!
