Hello everyone! ^_^

Today we went for a Master Class conducted by one of the judges in the morning at Fo Guang University. The university is built on a hilltop and the view of Yilan County was breathtaking! We learnt about different choral techniques during the master class and watched videos of other choirs' performance too!


After lunch, we went to a tea plantation at the Zhong Shan recreation agriculture zone. We learnt to pluck tea leaves and filled baskets with the leaves. Although the weather was warm, we had a great experience and enjoyed the tea too!



After that We went to the Xin Liao Falls where the waterfall is magnificant! The water at the falls is so clear!

We had Shabu Shabu for dinner where each of us has a pot of soup to cook whatever we want to eat. It was buffet style and there was a wide variety of food to choose from! Yums!


Back at Fo Guang University, we watched other choirs sing at the friendship concert. Before we knew it, it was the most nervous moment of our trip: Grand Final Competition Results! We all held our breaths as one of the judges say out our score. We got a score of 81.01!!!! We achieved a Gold award!!! It was much more than what we expected and we all shouted with joy! Hip Hip Hooray for Greendale Chorale =) We ended the closing ceremony by performing a mass dance to the song "Nobody" by Wondergirls. Everyone was so high at the end of the ceremony and danced along with us on the stage!

Back at the hotel, Mr Lim treated us to delicious bubble tea!

Now, we are having parties at each others' room! =)
