Yes, I am sure that after today's incident, many of you are feeling really *censored* up right now. So to all you troubled souls out there, I have something to say.
The things that Mr Toh said today aren't words that were spewed out in the heat of the moment. They are, in fact true and have been real problems choir had had for a long time. Real problems that choir had swept under the rug for a long time. Things like lack of focus, not being able to retain new things you learn, aren't those familiar scenarios played out during sectionals?
Hence, the result of an outburst like this is somewhat inevitable. Although it is true that the way Mr Toh reacted just now may not be the most diplomatic, but we must remember that he is under a lot of stress. A lot of stress caused by us.
So, for the scolding we got just now, I must say that choir, you deserved it. We deserved it.
Having said that, there's nothing left to say about anything on our part. Instead, I have a message to tell all of you. There is no point in grumbling or trying to justify for yourselves, or try to reinvent the facts into a situation whereby you yourself is innocent. Because by harbouring such ill thoughts, we will be stuck at this point. Dwelling about today's incident only makes us unable to move on. So my bottom line is: screw the past, bite the bullet and pia like no mother. There is no time to dwell anymore.

The AHS Choir in the last few years has witnessed unprecedented growth and accomplishment under the inspired baton of our resident conductor, Terrence Toh.
A few of these achievements include the coveted Gold with Honours at the 2007 and 2009 SYF Central Judging for Choir and a Gold at the International Festival of Songs in Olomouc, Czech Republic in 2008.
However, these accolades are not the choir’s only source of pride and joy, but rather the instilling of a passion for the choral art form and a deep desire to bring music to our community.
With this focus in mind, the choir has sung in a host of community based performances, including our annual concerts and as invited guests at various ceremonies held by government and community organizations.
For Terrence Toh and the Anglican High School Choir, no stage is too small nor informal, no challenge too insurmountable nor unnerving, as long as we stay true to the music we make.
