perhaps much of it has to do with the instilled disdain for the arts in this utilitarian factory. even while I was in sec school and JC, we took ecas out of expedience, not necessarily because we were genuinely interested in the vocal arts.

me know who nelson kwei and lim ai hooi are…. hmmm am i supposed to be knowledgeable? =P

anyway yeah, i agree with you that the vocal arts groups have been neglected. i think the main reason is that vocal arts are seen as a ‘higher class art’ (quoting my mum), and that if you don’t possess that certain level of musical knowledge, you won’t really appreciate it that much. how many times have the uniformed groups in school looked down on the choir and said all we do is to open our mouths in an air con room while they march like siao in the hot sun. i guess the same theory applies here bah.

theatre is another matter altogether though, because theatre itself is a portrayal of the real world and hence people relate to it better.

all in all, nice site. grins
