Hello choir,

Please note that we'll be having SYF rehearsal at VCH tomorrow, 8.50am to 1.40pm.
You are excused from the second period onwards but you'll return to class at 1.40pm (which is only 5 minutes for those who finish at 1.45pm).
All are to bring their choir gown/ blazers and shoes.
Those who did not receive their excuse slips are to find Miss Ng tomorrow after FRC to get them.

And,
VJ Choir will be staging Symphony of Voices 2009, 14th May 7.30pm at the Esplanade.
Tickets are priced at $20, $30 and $40.
Those interested please order your tickets from me.
And it is strongly recommended that you go cos VJ's an extremely good choir (those who went to watch their SOV concerts the past years will know).

Hello choir,

Please be reminded that there will be practice every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 6.45am in the LT 1. Miss Yin will be coming down personally to take us for the short 30 minutes session, so I hope everyone cooperates and make full use of the time.

Please also explain to your parents that these morning practices is necessary as our SYF slot is (again) in the morning so we have to get used to singing in early mornings. Yes, everytime we get morning slots we have morning practices.

Christina :D

Hello choir,

Due to the good signs of progress for yesterday's practice, our next practice will be tomorrow (20/3), 9.30am to 1pm at the Music Room. Yes, today's practice was kindly cancelled.

And if we make even greater and more impressive progress tomorrow, Saturday's practice will be off also. So it depends, whether or not you want/have to come back on Saturday.

Girls are reminded to bring their shoes on Friday, we're going to polish up the choreography for Kasar.

Christina :D

Hello choir,

Tomorrow's (18/3) practice venue will be changed to choir room instead as it will be TKGS choir's turn to come over tomorrow for practice.

So please show good discipline and warmth as hosts tomorrow (if you get to see them haha).
And I want everyone to give in their best and all tomorrow, don't want to hear any disappointing nonsense from you all again when the sec 4s come back!

And, practice is as usual on Saturday also, from 8 to 11.30am. Girls are reminded that you are to bring your shoes for every Saturday practice. That means we'll see each other for the whole of the March holidays, everyday. Unless you have valid reasons.

Regarding the CCA points debate on the tagboard. It is most possibly true, but leaders, that doesn't mean that you lose your sense of responsibility and passion in leading your section and the choir. You are chosen as a leader because the teachers see a particular unique quality in you, so please do not disappoint them just because you are probably not getting points for the extra commitments. For those who feel there is a problem with this, please voice out to the school directly cos its their decision. And, Miss Ng has already finalised the committee so there would be no more changes unless she finds that people are not doing their job well, then she'll pull them out.

I'll see you guys tomorrow!
Christina :D

Hello people,

You all have heard Ms Yin's and Mr Loh's comments about today's (heave a sigh of relief but a not our standard at all) performance, so I guess this is the wake up call for some of you to realise that this is reality and you can't escape it by thinking everyday that "We're gold, we have been gold, and we will be 'cos some great miracle will happen." Because it won't.

Good news (or bad, whatever you call it) for you guys is that, we'll have our one and only SYF Rehearsal on Wednesday (25 Feb) at VCH from about 9am to 12pm. Everyone will report to choir room immediately after flag-raising cos we'll do warm ups and all. For girls, if you have your cot shoes please bring them along so that you can feel the torment of singing and standing still for a whole 15 minutes or so in heels. This is probably our first and last time rehearsing at the actual venue before SYF, so please treat it seriously.

All tenors and basses please be reminded that you will have sectionals on Monday from 5 - 6.30pm at Choir Room and attendance is compulsory (as requested by Mr Loh and your SLs, and Mr Loh will be there).

Everyone is supposed to have memorised Kasar, Cui Dong Cui and White Horses by Wednesday 3pm.

Last but not least, the list of people who owes the choir money for choir tee:
Asaph
Hanfeng
Milton
Eugene
Yi Qun
Alexandrea
Choir tee is $20 and inclusive of this term's choir fund (I think). By instructions of Ms Ng, people without choir tee will not be in the choir. So complain all you want, but if you want to be in choir, the tee's a must.

Also, people who haven't paid for choir black file must pay $3 to Kuo Xian by Wednesday. Same, no choir file, then no scores for you, then that means no choir.

Next workshop will be next Saturday (28 Feb) at Hwa Chong Junior College, and by then we'll probably have our new choir tee so please kindly await the details.

SLs who wish to conduct additional sectionals in choir room outside choir schedules please contact either me, Peiru or Zann for the keys.

Thanks,
Christina :D

Hello choir,

Please take note that there will be choir practice every Saturday from this week (7 Feb) onwards, from 8.30am to 11.30am (might drag if progress not up to expections). I know everyone will be saying how early it is or how it's hogging up your weekend, but in order to get our gold (or whatever it is that you all want), we have no choice to have additional compulsory practices.

It's not just us sacrificing our beautiful Saturday mornings (however beautiful it can get), Miss Yin, Miss Ng, Mr Loh and Miss Cheng will be with us also, so don't complain cos we can't hear them and we're not going to hear them. :D

Bring along all Kasar, White Horses and Cui Dong Cui scores and your pen/pencil (for notetaking)!
And come in proper school attire, not home clothes and slippers or else you'll get into trouble at the gate before you can even come and sing.
Please approach your section leaders if you have any inquiries (not complains).

Christina :D

Hello people,

Due to the loud demands for updates by our fellow members, I shall come and nag about practices! ;D

Please be reminded that practice resumes this Friday, 3 - 6pm at the choir room!
Hope all of you recovered from the Chinese New Year gig already and are ready for SYF preparations.
Bring along your scores (Kasar, White Horses and Cui Dong Cui) and be on time if you have no valid excuse to absent yourself.
And hope that none of you really gorged on new year rubbish until you lost your voices!

P.S. Those who were not present for the rehearsal on Thursday afternoon to fill in your particulars, please come forward and update your particulars with me on Friday.
(Cos the committee needs it to track you all down one by one heh heh)
Christina :D
