Hello,

You guys seldom hear me speak or address the entire MAD usually so just want to say a few things here.

There were many times that things didn't go in the way we'd like it to be. Dancers having to cope with pressures from all dimensions, while practising for their items, the committee having to plan and organize well to ensure things will proceed smoothly, dancers all feeling exhausted... But i think it's all worthwhile.

Don't be sad that it's over. Be glad that it has happened. I think Ck said that before. I want to thank every single one of you who have helped in making this whole production possible and subsequently, a great success. And i would like to thank everyone for all the fond memories that we've created together.

It shall not be an end, but a beginning to a new chapter. To the juniors, it's gonna be your show next year (:

And so,
This is it.
The end of BACK AGAIN 09.
Dance Nite 2009.
By Hwa Chong Music and Dance Society.
And by Hwa Chong Chinese Dance.


It wasn't easy.
We had a tight schedule to follow.
We had to stay back late in school for practices.
We had little runs and rehearsals in the auditorium.
But.
We still did it.


WE DID MANAGE TO PULL IT OFF!
GREAT JOB!
;D


I'm sure you guys did your best for all shows,
There may be screw ups here and there,
But more importantly,
Don't let them affect you as eventually,
It is how all of you feel towards this production that matters.


Both MAD and CD was great.
Props to all (not only the dancers) who have worked hard for this production.
Really appreciate the effort.
You guys know who you are.
;D
Thank you.


So,
Now that it has concluded.
How are you feeling?


I hope that all of you left the auditorium with no regrets.
I hope that all of you did what you wanted to show on that very stage.
I hope that all of you are proud of what we have produced.
I hope that all of you enjoyed yourselves to the fullest.
I hope that all of you,
Had a memorable dancenite experience.


J1s may not have as strong sentiments as the J2s towards dancenite this year,
But its natural.
Next year you guys should be feeling it like all J2s would towards dancenite.


J2s,
You guys are probably getting emotional over the end of this production.
But dont let it get to you people for too long okay.
This might be our last official show together,
But there are things that still stay with us even when dancenite is over.

The people.
The experiences.
The memories.
The photos.
The songs and soundtracks.
The video.
The costumes.

And of course,
The stage.


I truly hope that BACK AGAIN 09 did have an impact on your life.

As to what extent and how it did.
You decide.


For now,
Let's wait for photos and videos to be uploaded!


Cheers!
Hui Hua

Thank you everyone.

You know we rocked the stage and ripped it apart.

We're accepting any photos that you deem relevant to the montage. Please send in both J1s and J2s photos. They need not be stuff from dancenight preparation but it has to be something to do with MAD at the very least.

Late photos/videos/voiceclips may not be entertained unless they are of extreme relevance. That will depend on the mood of the people making the montage as well. Ahem.


SO, please submit the photos and stuff if you want your friends or yourselves to be featured!

regards,
Jonneo and Huihua

just some things to re-emphasize:
1) ESSENCE: know the essence of the dance! e.g. if it's "Womanizer", be SAO & hiao & sexy & bitchy!! if it's lyrical, be emo and FEEL the dance!
2) EXPRESSIONS: important important!! mayb u all havnt practised this, but yeah, start on this soon! dun smile when u're supposed to look cool, n when u're supposed to smile, give ur Darlie smileeee!! (: eye-contact with e audience also v impt!

SHOW IT! make ur instructors proud, make us seniors proud! (i know u all will! :D)

to quote my dance senior,
YOU'LL ONLY FEEL PROUD IF YOU'VE WORKED HARD FOR IT.
