SGSS 45th Anniversary Concert

by Charis Ng Tin Yan

Who would know those good old days would pass in a blink of an eye?
In celebration of the 45th anniversary of our alma mater, 11 alumni entering our school from the 1970s to 1990s gathered together for a medley singing performance entitled "Those were our days" in the Concert Hall of City Hall at the night of 7th July, 2006. Nearly 200 tickets were distributed to interested alumni free-of-charge to enjoy the show and share the reminiscence.
The 10-minute performance was comprised by 9 songs, telling the story of an SGSS graduate immersed in the nostalgia of the good and fun old days at school, where she met, knew and loved all her good friends (Yesterday Once More and Today). Then a teenager, she fell in love with a classmate, not knowing what to do (What Will I Do). Soon, they had their first sweet dating (Laughter in the Rain). The girl worked hard so that her boyfriend would be proud of her (Proud of You). She had to part with her lover for studying abroad (Leaving on a Jet Plane). Feeling lost in the big world and missed her friends and lover (Big Big World), the friendship she had gained in SGSS always warmed her heart and gave her strength to carry on (You've Got a Friend). The story ended with this girl recalling all these good memories of laughter and tears from SGSS (First of May) ... Does this story arouse something in your mind?
While the enthralling performance was well-received by the audience, the performers also enjoyed the singing practices. We greatly appreciate your showing-up and encouragement! Thank you very much! Let us wish our alma mater a wonderful 45th anniversary! We look forward to your active participation in our future events!!
