Sufficient preparations before the game and hard training
In October 2014，Teacher Zhang Lin used the audio materials of this performance to apply for participation in the Spanish Habaneras and Polyphony International Chorus Competition，In January this year，received the official notification from the organizing committee to participate。
The Spanish Habaneras and Polyphony International Choir Competition stipulates that each choir needs to prepare three compulsory pieces and two optional pieces。Facing such a high-level competition，Our school choir has prepared 5 pieces，Includes "el ausante", "marinero", "Torrevieja En Mi Corazón", "East Spring" and "Ayug Ti Amianan"。
“Teachers need to do a lot of preparation work before the competition，Many students go abroad for the first time，Passport，Visa materials、Contact the competition venue、Safety and other complex issues，It’s all arranged by the teacher，The teacher is very busy，After running here, run there。Teachers do a lot of work，Help us train，Plus psychological counseling，It’s time to face the final exam，The teacher also guided us to find ways to reduce stress，Better review homework。To prepare for the game，Training is also essential。We basically have 1 to 2 rehearsals every week。There are training camps during winter and summer vacations。During exam，Students also need to take care of rehearsals。Because rehearsals are not all on campus，So we often need to drive more than four hours round trip。It is common to train until one or two in the morning，The teacher is more considerate to us，Don’t delay our break time for the final exam，Although our capabilities still need to be strengthened。We work very hard too，Hold the review materials，In between training sessions，Review homework。" said Han Xiaoxu from the School of Animal Science and Technology，“As the game approaches，The training intensity is also increasing，We also feel a lot of pressure。Exam pressure and training pressure coexist。Think back to that time，deeply touched，It felt like it was more difficult than the college entrance examination，High psychological pressure，Facing exams and training，Has a complex psychology。”
Overcome difficulties and move forward bravely
Learned from teacher bet365 online casinoZhang Lin，We encountered many difficulties during this competition，First, we must overcome the jet lag，Adjust status。There is a six-hour time difference between Beijing and Spain，In order to adapt to the game time in advance，Adjust the excitement to the game time in advance，Intensify training one month before the competition，Train until half past one every day。The students worked hard and persevered。After arriving at the competition venue by plane in the early morning of July 14th，Discovered that the venue is outdoors，So on volume、The requirements for timbre are very high。Secondly, the outdoor temperature in Spain is very high and the ultraviolet rays are very strong，Nearly 10 hours of training every day，The students’ clothes get soaked every time within half an hour，Some students’ skin is allergic to strong ultraviolet rays，Sunscreen doesn’t work either。Some time before the competition, the students gritted their teeth and persisted，Not slack at all，The teacher was also very moved。
Hard work pays off
Our game is specially arranged to be the last game of the first day，The competition lasted four days，The last team to play every day is usually the most powerful team that night。The wonderful performance of the Chinese team that night shocked the audience，The enthusiasm of the audience also ignited the passion of the students on the stage，The students all performed at their best，Leaved a deep impression on the audience and judges，Finally got the third place in the competition。
