Ladies and gentlemen, in welcoming to our performance for this flag-raising ceremony, we would like to send you our best regards.
"Seekers”, or those that are still seeking, in naming us so, we all have been constantly seeking and discovering all that is new and priorly unknown to us in the CTU Elite Highschool. As of now, it has come to a time when we are no longer the youngest of the school, yet our journey of youth and experimenting still carries on. Compared to the previous year, we now have come to know each other better, forming bonds and mutual understanding, , and so in the next part of our journey we shall bring out even more excitement with all of our enthusiasm. B1K11 – or class 11B1 of this year – shall mark the start of our next journey with this spectacular show.
Stirring up our show were the "multi-flavour candies”, or a series of songs by Ngọt band (literally means Sweet band) including “Bartender”, “Kẻ thù” (“Enemies), and “Cho tôi lang thang” (Let us wander more), starring Duy Nhật as the singer and Thái Hà as the guitarist.
The heated air of the performance was cooled down by the soft melody brought forth by Hồng Thắm’s sweet voice via the folksong “Bèo dạt mây trôi” (“Water-ferns drifting, clouds floating”). The song through her voice has brought us much relief and relaxation to start the new week.
The end to this show was B1K11’s collective performance – the mash-up dance “Cò lả - Nam quốc sơn hà” . We performed yhiss as a tribute to all martyrs who had fallen to keep our flag raising, who had given way to an era of peace that we now live, work and study in.
It took much group effort for us to be able to perform our best. Staying late after school to practice, going through trials and errors, through thicks and thins and even much disagreement, we had for ourselves many memorable moments. Our passion and unity had brought us a successful show, and cheers and applause from the audience was the most rewarding prize for us after all exhaustion from the training sessions. These memories will resonate within our hearts, forever and ever more. Hopefully as this journey goes on, us B1K11-ers will never let this flame of eagerness and youth die out.
In conclusion of our show, we would like to convey our utmost gratitude to friends and teachers who were cheering us on. We would also like to wish you an energetic and productive week full of joy.
