(this clip is soundless)

Another 13 days wor.. and one last final full dress rehearsal..

TEENz live recording album @ 16 March (sunday)- 6.30pm @ Full Gospel Church!! =)
And this whole event's theme is - You.
Come and experience the great God, great music and vocals, great songs, great atmosphere.. you won't want to miss this, heh heh.

Zap! cut-cut!..
ok, besides the advertisement.. the last full practice went well, though there are some loose ends to tie up, especially on the music side.
This is the first time the 30+ ppl strong choir (that consists of teenagers and young working dults) join the musicians and backup vocalist in practice.

The musicians went through some critical parts of some songs.. the choir joined in, the professional sound crew finalised some tuning, and we recorded all 14 songs for reference and backup.

woah.. so tiring... in the middle of recording, until the 7th song (fix my eyes on You), we took a 10-min break.

Oh yeah, by the way.. if you want to know the song list and to learn the songs.. Go to http://teenzalbumsongs.blogspot.com!! =)

toilet break, drink water break, hanging ard elek break.. Piano boy (samuel) enjoying some silence before the noise starts again, hehe.

And back to recording again..
Pai seh, my camera n I not pro, so it'll take 3 photos to cover the stage.

After more than 4 hours of practice, the choir shouted "hooray!!" and packed up their stuffs to go, haha.

wait wait..

Eh, our pastor Albert is here watching us practice all along. He gave us some encouragement and advice, saying that he is very proud of us, and spurs us to really sing with our hearts (not only with our minds) and be more expressive!

And we listen on attentively..

After this.. go home & rest, yay!..
..While the musicians and arrangers gather 'round for a 40-min meeting to confirm some music arrangements.

The practice's recording tracks will be out in a few days after some editing from uncle Jit and the sound crew, then the TEENz album committee will listen to it and take note of areas to improve for next week's FINAL full dress rehearsal..

Till then, see ya at 16 Mar live recording! So excited!! coming soon will be our next blog entry of the 9 mar final full dress rehearsal..

**Happy birthday to one of our backup vocalist! =)
by the way, nice cheese cake, yum! =P
