The students from the On Nut and Chonburi campuses had a jam-packed day filled with voice practices to develop their breathing, use of their diaphragm, and posture. After the warm-ups and practice, the students divided into groups to practice the different parts of a choir, such as soprano, alto, and tenors. The choir directors broke the students into groups to practice the melodies and harmonies before joining up to rehearse as a whole group.聽

However, the students had some time to relax and play games after lunch. They played team sports such as pickleball and badminton. The students who preferred to watch and cheer were lounging comfortably on the beanbags. After relaxing and socializing, the students and teachers assembled in the new auditorium for a grand finale practice. They were the first group to stand on the brand new stage and sing together.聽

The choir boot camp was a special day where our students from the two campuses could connect and share ideas through their passions of music and singing. The highlight of the day was to see how our students made new friends and learned valuable lessons to develop their singing skills. We hope to have many more inter-school collaborations such as this.

IMPACT ARENA, MUANG THONGTANI 鈥� Over 3 months of 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week scrutiny, grueling practice sessions, and weekly heart-pumping performances, came to a climactic end last night as Wells鈥� very own Nattawat 鈥淭on鈥� Deewongkij (喔撪副喔愢抚喔编笗喔� 鈥溹笗喙夃笝鈥� 喔斷傅喔о竾喔佮复喔�) sang his heart out to a roaring audience at Muang Thongtani鈥檚 Impact Arena. His performances, as well as his kind-hearted, caring demeanor showcased on the around-the-clock reality TV show, earned him the love and admiration of fans across the country, whose votes propelled him all the way to the top 鈥� almost.

As the final performer out of the six remaining finalists, Ton sat for two hours before wooing the crowd with two contrasting performances: a Thai ballad 鈥溹竵喔ム箟喔侧笧喔箘喔浮鈥� by Potato, followed by Ton鈥檚 favorite English song 鈥淚t鈥檚 My Life,鈥� originally performed by the American rock group Bon Jovi. Then, after the 3^rd to 6^th Place performers were named, Ton, excited, but emotionally exhausted, strolled up the catwalk alongside fellow finalist, and eventual winner, Por (喔福喔｀笓喔� 鈥溹笡喔�� 喔椸腑喔囙笟喔｀复喔父喔椸笜喔脆箤) for the final announcement.

Aside from a number of cash and merchandise prizes (including a brand new Toyota Camry), Ton receives a lucrative 5-year contract as a recording/film artist, print model and spokesperson for True Corporation, the main sponsor of the Academy Fantasia entertainment franchise.

Among those in the audience were three busloads of Wells students and staff members, including several that had made the weekly trips to the AF7 concerts ever since Ton entered the competition in July, as well as fellow teen pop star and Wells student Darling of the group Sugar Eyes. Though visibly disappointed that Ton couldn鈥檛 accumulate enough votes to earn him the top prize, all were happy that he was able to even make it this far.

The AF7 finalists will be kicking off a cross-country tour beginning with a concert on October 30 聽in Bangkok, followed by performances in Nakhon Ratchasima, and Chiang Mai.
