NOTE.

TAKE NOTE. Extra practices along the way.......

Monday: Vendela, Asaph and Eeron
- Master piano parts of songs, get rhythm blahblah right. I will be there to supervise.
- Time: 3pm to when we've mastered it.

Tuesday: CHOIR PRACTICE [For all]
- Time: 9am to 1pm.

Wednesday: CHOIR PRACTICE [For all]
- Time: 9am to 1pm.

Thursday: CHOIR FINAL PRACTICE [Tentative]
- Time: 10am to 12pm.

Friday: CHOIR CONCERT @ Paya Lebar Methodist school

I know it's really taxing, but no choice, because we really need to drill on the songs. We've got so many areas to improve on. We also have to master our notes (that's the fundamental). Then we'll need the dynamics and expression and everything else to make us sound better than just "pitch perfect".

I promise more outings (Choir/Comm) after the concert, so as to strengthen junior-senior ties. Meanwhile, we work harder for our concert alright?

By the way, if any juniors feel that tagging to complain is a must, be my guest. Banning and deleting of unnecessary tags won't take up too much of my time. (:

Thanks,
Nat

Attention.

Those who have something on and is absent/late please be more responsible and kindly inform your SLs beforehand. Don't expect us to excuse you if you tell us why you're late only when you've reached. Thanks.

And as for those with terrible attendance please start coming for choir or your points will be automatically deleted. It is your responsibility to turn up for choir, not your SLs'.

CONCERT @ Paya Lebar Methodist

Date: 30th NOV
Reporting time: To be confirmed.

So this means that WE HAVE ONLY TWO PRACTICES/SIX HOURS TO GET OUR SONGS RIGHT.

Be prepared for extra sectionals, and extra sectionals are COMPULSORY.

So now, get your throats ready for tomorrow. (By the way, SORE THROAT is not a valid excuse for not turning up. So are WORK ATTACHMENTS)

ATTENDANCE NEEDS IMPROVEMENT SO THAT THIS CHOIR CAN PROCEED TO GREATER LEVELS. Don't you think a High Silver is not enough?

Solution A: Full Attendance

Solution B: Listen to your SLs during sectionals.

Like they say, "When in doubt, sing loud." - Robert Merrill

Singing wrongly now's better than singing wrongly on stage!

Okay enough of preaching already. Just be there tomorrow @ 10am, and no monkey business(:

Last but not least, EVERYBODY please bring along $4 each. To restock Choir Funds. Choir funds are getting really short of cash. Also, those 10 people going for the concert on 28th Nov kindly bring $15 tomorrow for the tickets.

Thank you,

Nat.

note

CHOIR TOMORROW EVERYONE IS TO COME FOR CHOIR PRACTICE.

Same time (2.45pm to 5.45pm)

ALL TO BRING YOUR NIL DONATION FORMS EXCEPT THOSE WHOM I SAID NO NEED.

COMM MEETING AT 1.45PM WITH MS NG TOMORROW.

Bonvoyage!

Bon voyage Mr Low.!

New Rule

Take note: Choir has NEW RULE.

Choir commences at 2.45pm, so those late for more than 20mins without approved valid reason will have to clean up the choir room after choir practice. No room for negotiation(: Even those who end school at 2.15pm will have to be punctual for choir. Committee to be punctual at all times(:

And for convenience, please inform any one of your SLs if you are late or can't come for choir, and perhaps one day before or before choir latest. Don't make the SLs ask you. You will have to tell them yourself. Otherwise, next time we'll get the Choir teachers (Mrs Long, Mrs Periera or Ms Ng) to personally ask you. :]

Last but not least, listen to your SLs, student conductors and the new conductors k? Haha it's really not easy to lead the whole choir, so let's all play a mini part by lending your listening ear.. With that, choir practices will not have to be wasted on scoldings etc(:

Okay that's all(:

Choir Badge.

Hey everybody! I've this idea of getting a Choir Badge, which we can all wear one each on our collar to school everyday! It clearly signifies our passion for choir Plus it will be even more symbolic when the badge is gold in colour(: Cost wise, if the school can subsidise, perhaps no need to pay. But most probably we'll have to. Haha won't be too expensive(:

I shall do a poll! ^^



Thanks so much for your valuable time! :D
