Speech Day came right on the day after Rhapsody which left us with courage to perform even better, however unlike Rhapsody, the audience for Speech Day was a different set of people. With people outside the school instead of our schoolmates, we needed to keep in mind that the audience wouldn't be as supportive as the ones from Rhapsody, so we needed to be more energetic and put on a performance that can gain their support. As we were the last ones to perform for event, we waited in the room we were assigned to. Preparing our costumes and attires to make us look like we were at our best, as well as practicing and warming-up our voices for the performance.
After warming up and taking a rest, we called to the backstage to stand by. We stood behind the stage and watched the prize-giving ceremony, seeing the winners receiving their prizes with pride and happiness made me felt happy for them as well as a sprinkle of jealously, it also encouraged me to give my all to make sure they get to see a good show and also end off their prideful day with smiles.
Finally, it was our turn to perform and how it went by was like a deja vu of what happened on the day of Rhapsody except with more anxiety as the audience is different, and as we were performing the same songs which we performed for Rhapsody, the positive thing we can think about having a different audience was that it won't be so awkward as they won't be listening the same thing as the previous day.
We stepped on the stage and gave our all for the performance and tried our best to gain the audience's support, and after the performance once more we sang the national anthem with pride. After that we had to stand on stage till the audience left. There were people whom came to take photos of us as a whole, that fact became a medium of the support from the audience and this caused to feel that the principal would support us as well.
After the audience left, we were allowed to leave the stage and go back to our assigned rooms. There our teachers gave us a thumbs up for our good work although there were still parts we could improve on but that doesn't matter as the choir will still live on and improve. With the support we gained, I can truly feel that this won't be the last time this choir will be singing with joy and happiness. A few more weeks till us seniors step down, we seniors hold on to our hopes that our juniors would do better than we did in this choir (don't let us down:) and remember WE SING AS ONE).
