2016 SYF String

It was Rb's first experience in SYF and unlike Pb, he'll probably have 2 more chances to experience in the competition before he graduates from primary school.

The boys had been practising hard, everyday during the March holidays and more intensively towards the last few weeks nearer the competition. I was v amazed by their commitment, discipline and dedication. They practised for long hours, trying their best to perfect every note, every tune, every rhythm and dynamics. However, never have I once hear any of the string boys complain or sigh. From a group of boisterous, rambunctious boys, these boys displayed their faithfulness and perseverance in their training. They respected their conductor, Mr Meryvn Goh and cooperated with him in meeting his high standard and demand, all because everyone wanted to do well.

On the day of the competition, all the string parents came to support. Before the competition, the boys composed themselves and an elder came to pray with the boys. All that they needed to do, they've already done but nothing will be right without the power and favour of God. The boys prayed and said Amen for the will of God to be done. 

After the performance of the 2 pieces, Danse Infernale and Andadate Con Moto, the applause from the audience was thunderous. In my heart, I know, the boys have aced it! I know what the results will be even before it was published on 18 April 2016. 

I pray that the boys will continue to be fervent in their practices, be serious in their calling, to be worshippers of God. Indeed, The Best Is Yet To Be!
