Harmony

There are some moments at life where you want to put into a little box so preciously that you want to come back and feel the exact same feeling. This picture captures the very moment that I would like to cherish forever and go back to the little box to feel the same excitement, ecstasy and the overwhelming and ineffable joyfulness. I was one of the singers –to be more precise, an alto- at MAVIS, the one and only A Cappella group at my high school. One day, we got a call from the supervisors of “All the King’s Man (AtKM)”, an A Cappella group at King’s College, that they are planning for a concert tour in Korea and would like MAVIS to join them for one of the concerts! All the members of MAVIS could have never practiced more arduously –but we enjoyed every moment of practice and were amazed to see how each of our voices can make a one beautiful harmony. Like how we did when we were practicing, we successfully ended our shows with our last song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” with AtKM. Never will I forget the day when MAVIS became one and made a beautiful harmony; the nervousness standing with a microphone in a sweating hand in front of the audiences; the lively and cheerful ambience; the very moment of taking a picture together to celebrate the successfulness of the show that night.
