The following post is dedicated to RvCo:

Well, I'm just proud to be able to say that RvCo did it. I ponned school on Wednesday to watch the juniors perform on stage for SYF 07. And it damn hell was worth every minute of lesson missed. They were the first ones on stage. YanRong Kiang and I arrived at 8 plus, just in time to catch them while they were still at Level 1. Sat around before collecting our tickets. But that's besides the point.

Entered the hall, took our seats and prepared ourselves for RvCo. They went on stage, dressed in gold and a lil red, I think. Haha. I saw my lil junior Pearlyn and some others as well. The new conductor came on stage. His style was very different. But you could see the intensity in their eyes. That passion for their music, their eagerness to do well. The whole hall was silent. The baton moved. The first note was played. It was surreal. No words can describe what it was like. We were feeling nervous for them but yet confident that they would be able to do well.

Not only did they do well. They did it. I really am proud of RvCo and whatever she has accomplished over the course of 2 years. They promised to get that coverted Honours back. They did. Without a doubt. That's what I call the RV Spirit. We didn't care about politics. We only wanted to bond as a family and produce music. That's what makes us different from other schools. I'm just so proud to be a part of RvCo.

The moment when the results were announced was like ___. Everythin seemed to come to a standstill. I remember myself letting everyone know that I was from RvCo by shouting, "YEA!!" super duper loudly together with Kiang. Haha. I wanted to scream, "That's the shit!" Haha.

RvCo - You guys did brilliantly well. You guys deserve more than an Honours. =) <3

I miss those times. It doesn't matter that we didn't get the Honours in 05. All that matters' the fact that we won't be able to experience it ever again. Juniors who are in CO right now, cherish your time there. You won't want to waste it. Please. You'll know what's it like to be in a tight CO family only after leaving RvCo.
