Yay! Competition day finally came and our school choir has managed to win the division level choir competition yet again. Phew! That means that our choir's history of always being the champion in the district level competition has not been broken.. What a relief. We're going to go to Bintulu for the state level choir competition where we'll meet up with SMK Methodist again, after so many years..
Best conductor award went to Greenroad. Third place also went to Greenroad, and the second place went to St. Theresa. First place went to.. us. Well, when the winner was announced, a lot of the members were on their feet screaming and cheering.. Guess all the months of hard work finally paid off..
I'm not going to blog much, because I don't have any pictures with me now. To the St. Theresa choir members, I've got to say you girls were much better than the last time I met your choir back in 2004.. Your choir sounded quite nice and you girls were our biggest competitors in the competition.. Congratulations!
To all the other choir members.. Yalah, happy-happy... but not for long ar! I didn't want to tell you this, but now since division level is all over now, let me just say this: we have A LOT of room for improvement and polishing, so don't get all overconfident and stuff.. Use the very short break to catch up with your studies.. I know we have fun in practices but we all know studies is still the most important thing for us as students..
Well, congratulations to all the choir members!! Seniors, I hope we made you guys proud.. The road to this outcome was not an easy one.. And we promise to do our very best to get ready for the battle ahead for us at Bintulu..
So proud of you all!
*Group hug again*

History of SMK Batu Lintang Choir
Formed in 2002, the choir's original purpose was to participate and compete in the annual inter-school choir competition and to enjoy music through singing. The choir was trained by Madam Luk Chiong Mee and assisted by Madam Elizabeth Tiong (now retired), Madam Anita Wee, and Madam Chew Li Teen (designer of the choir costumes)
In that year, the pioneer choir batch managed to emerge as winners of the division level competition. The choir later emerged as first runner-up in the state level competition.
In 2003, the SMK Batu Lintang choir managed to emerge as divisional champions again but went one step further in the state level competition, edging out fierce rivals SMK Methodist, Sibu. To top it off, the choir team went on to become the champion of the national finals held in Dewan Suarah, Shah Alam.
In 2004, the choir team once again proved their prowess in Sarawak by emerging as winners for the second year in a row. The choir team also participated in the 2nd annual Choral Festival, held in Kuala Lumpur. In the national level competition, we emerged as 2nd Runner-Up.
In 2005, the choir made a little piece of history by being the first school choir to be invited by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra to perform at the famed Dewan Filharmonik Orkestra, Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur. The choir once again participated in the Choral Festival, this time with a completely new batch of singers who made a lasting impression on the members of the audience. However, the choir decided not to participate in the inter-school choir competition. The choir was backed by the then principal, Cik Jaidah Alek and also Cikgu Catherine Ritikos.
In 2006, the choir went for the pinnacle of any choir competition, the World Choir Games held in Xiamen, China. Cikgu Susie Sim and Madam Sng Bee Ping joined the set-up. In that competition, the choir gave their all and managed a Bronze Diploma.
Now, in 2007, the choir is returning to its original roots and recently won the Interschool Choir Competition held in SMK Paku, Bau on 20th June 2007. With a little bit of luck, we will once again re-establish ourselves as one of the best school choirs in Malaysia.
