Kranji Secondary School held its SYFiesta on 5th June 2009 at Republic Polytechnic Cultural Centre, Theatre. SYFiesta is a public performance by Performing Arts at Kranji Secondary School. This year’s theme was Dream Oasis.
The event was in another sense a unity of the Kranjian family, with many of our alumni rejoining our current students. The performance was scheduled to start at 7.30 pm. It was performed in a “narrative story format”. The stage was the setting. Our Kranjians from the Performing Arts were the story.
Before the performance, Kranji Secondary School’s principal, Madam Maureen Lee, gave a short speech, thanking all each and every Kranji student and staff who helped to make the Fiesta a successful and memorable one. The Dream Oasis was indeed a dream come true especially for the many Kranjians who had toiled over weeks to make the night a beautiful one.
The first programme was a song called Song Da Ge (Farewell To My Beloved) sung by Kranji Choir. As the song concluded, it was greeted with rapturous applause from the audience.
Next, Kranji Symphonic Band presented Green Hill Fantasy. This piece was played during their Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Competition. Next up, it was our Kranji Choir who took centre stage. They presented a song called Take This Wings.
After the interval, Kranji Modern Dance performed a dance called Birds of Paradise, charming and encapsulating everyone with their synchronized and surreal dancing. The K-Production Drama Team then performed a brilliant skit called X-Country. As the play continued to take everyone’s breath away, Kranji Chinese Dance came up with a magnificent dance called Tian Lu, or Road to Heaven.
Last but not least, to end the night on a high, Kranji Symphonic Band put on a lovely and magnificent rendition of Gold Medley by ABBA.
With that, Kranji concluded the night by putting a lovely completion to this story of the Kranji dream, the Dream Oasis. The audience made their way out slightly before 9.30 pm. Everyone went home with wide smiles on their faces. Everything in Dream Oasis had given everyone a reason to dream sweetly that night. Sweet dreams are made of these.
BUZZED! @ 6:01 AM
