Had Some POPpin’ Good Fun?
February 16th, 2010 by CNY CommitteeHey Hwa Chong! Hope you’ve spent the break well resting and gearing up for the rest of the school term (and collecting those precious Ang Baos)! Time to recount the events on your last Friday!
12th February was definitely a day of joy and excitement. With our very own Hwa Chong Chinese New Year Celebration, 花舞, attracting the young and the slightly older ( sorry seniors) alike in a fit to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year.
Citygate: CANDY with a tinge of manga.
But in any case, students and seniors alike decked the corridors of the wings and 天堂, adding to the touch of liveliness the day presented.
The morning was packed with exciting performances courtesy of our Lion Dance, Choir, Chinese Orchestra, Chinese Dance Society and the Music And Dance Society and Wushu!
Our emcees: Xueyan & Zeyu
HC Choir completes the SMILE! Don’t you see one!
HC Chinese Dance at their best again
With a pleasantly surprising performance from our Music And Dance Society!
Wushu: the valour package.
Make that a precision and top-class one as well. 
With the street market following the performances, Hwa Chongians experienced a festival that is worth remembering in every right.
A fair wih the undiscounted creativeness of our students.
The mass Lao Yu Sheng was the highlight of the event, with everyone crowding around their own class benches ( or stalls) and lo hei for a more prosperous new year. The FEEL of Hwa Chong family was in everyone’s bones.
Go, teachers!
CNY Celebration, 花舞, came to a splendid end with the sun beaming brightly on the red tiger in the middle of central plaza, casting a brilliant shadow of Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.
We could not ask for a more apt build-up as the atmosphere paved the way for the explosiveness of what was to come:
POP 2010!
One by one each faculty immersed themselves in 3 minutes of bliss, giving full vent to their dazzling moves, drawing incessant cheers from the entire plaza and wings.
Ahh-hooooot!!!
Bullgirls and bullguys unite!
Ahh-whoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Dancing God of War
The best faculty may have been crowned by our judges, but you guys know that the best dance is one that entails soul and sweat. You did it, together, J1s!
What’s a party without SODACHE?! Here we go again! Get you mind set, and have a wild, wild time!
The very vibrancy of our school.
One Hwa Chong, as always, and forever!

SYF Report: Choir
May 12th, 2009 by CCA PROOver the past few months, the Hwa Chong choristers have been working extremely hard to perfect our songs for this year’s SYF competition. After countless gruelling practices, minor setbacks and extra training sessions, the choir met for the final rehearsal last Tuesday morning.
Warmups were carried out after everyone got changed into performance attire. Our conductor Ms Lim Ai Hooi then arrived and put the finishing touches on our three songs — the set piece, Sounds of Joy, our offering from the Romantic period, Orpheus, With His Lute, and a lively Cuban piece entitled ¡Qué Rico é! (How sweet it is!).
Time passed extraordinarily quickly when we arrived at Victoria Concert Hall, our competition venue. Any vestiges of nervousness at the sight of other choirs bustling around were quickly eliminated as we reminded each other to be focused on our one chance at impressing an international panel of judges. Before long, we found ourselves onstage sharing our music with an appreciative audience.
Despite tough competition from other JCs, the choir is proud to announce that we have clinched our third consecutive Gold with Honours award! This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our seniors, our teachers-in-charge, Ms He Jia Wen, Mr Colin Loy and Ms Jessie Koh and our conductor, Ms Lim Ai Hooi. Even though the journey was exhausting, our good showing definitely validated everybody’s efforts and sacrifices. This is perhaps our 90th anniversary gift to Hwa Chong in return for the school’s continual support for the choir!
Spurred on by this success, the choir will continue to work hard in the months to come to scale even greater heights. Watch out in particular for our upcoming performance showcasing our SYF pieces at Arts Fest 2009! We wish all other CCAs the best of luck with their upcoming matches and competitions.

Season Preview: Choir
April 11th, 2009 by CCA PRO
The 65-strong Hwa Chong College Choir (affectionately termed rioHC)comprises talented musicians and choristers from the country’s top secondary schools. With excellence in music-making as its chief goal,the Choir has garnered top local and international awards under the baton of Ms Lim Ai Hooi. To keep pace with international standards,the Choir has maintained a large and culturally diverse repertoire,which has included songs from Indonesia, Japan, China, France, Latvia and even Cuba in the past year.
In July 2008, the Choir competed in the 5th World Choir Games in Graz,Austria and won two Gold medals in the Folklore and Mixed Youth categories. In addition, the choir emerged as one of the champions of the games by winning the Mixed Youth category.
This year, the choristers have been working extremely hard to continue our tradition of excellence, newly-inducted J1s and seasoned J2s alike. We hope to replicate our seniors’ achievements in 2007 by presenting a good showing at this year’s Singapore Youth Festival on the 5th of May once more!
