HI everybody it's time for Barney says!!!
okay first tihing first, I want to comment on your performance today.
why all of you all look so sian de when MrsLim is teaching us?
must be more postive kays
you all might not really like her but does liking her have to do you with singing well and proving to everyone the A1s rock? besides she's a good conductor:)
an electrical conductor.okay so next time i want to see an improvement in your attitude when she takes us. Instead of thinking 'dammit it's us again...' try thinking 'YAY we dont have to waste our time with Grace who suck at teaching us and have to spend our next session with Mrs Lim because we suck' okay :))
(haha i think this is gonna be a long long post ;))

HAHA now (drum roll please) yes, i'm going to talk about Ant's Summer
In the beginning of the song, bar 1, i need you all to remember 4 things:
1. take in a deep breath before you start (this implies to any song you sing)
2. from A2s our note is like 'do
(A2) ME(us) soh
(sops)'
3. breath in to and shape your vowels before you start singing
(as the chinese saying goes 'a good beginning is half of succeeding' even though I don't know what the other half is...) 4. be conficent in what you are singing and smile :)))
Next:
please support when you sing especially for notes like in bar 4 the A
remember to crescendo from 'p' to 'mf' from bar5 to bar 6
Next:
our 'solo' part Ariwa...
remember it is a new starting we need a new colour!!!
take a quick and intense breath before attempting to sing this part
And rember at bar 17 you have to do a crescendo :))
Next:
at bar 19 please take note it is supido piano
(whatever it is spelt as...) we have to go from loud to suddenly soft!!! soft but intense articulate your words clearly
like a fart quick, soft but deadly...Next:
from bar 21 to 24 must crescendo arh...
And at the end of bar 27 must NOT hold the note cut it off immediately
it is like cancer cell you have to stop it from growing immediately or you will die.... for your 'za' please use more support
Next:

LIFT up your cheek bones people and remember coca cola to open up some happiness :)))
Bar 35 is another new starting and is starts loud so remember you breath.

Next for bar 37 the last 'za' in the bar is an F natural different from in front and at the back (F sharp)

Next:
crescendo at bar 50
Next:
bar 51 is a new beginning, please be clearer in your tone
