Update On Holiday Schedule
Dear all,
1) Change in the holiday schedule
I've added a rehearsal timing (for Grad Day Concert) in the morning of 13 Nov (Thu). It's on the same day as the Combined Rehearsal, which will be at GESS from 3.30 pm to 6 pm.
Please see below for the updated schedule.
2) Girls' costumes
The 26 girls who are going to HK, please bring your blue costumes on 3 Nov. Ms Cherlyn Tan will be sending them in to the tailor for alteration. If anyone is not able to turn up for practice on 3 Nov, please pass your costume to someone you know who will be coming. We have less than 2 weeks for the tailor to alter your costumes. So this is extremely urgent.
Many thanks.
Ms J. Tan

Holiday Schedule
Dear Beloved Choir,
Please check below for the holiday schedule.
*Only pupils who signed up for this.
The practices are important for the following events:
1) Graduation Day Ceremony - 14 November (Friday)
2) Performance at Disneyland, HK - most likely 10 December (Wednesday)
3) Preparation for SYF 2009 (set piece is out and some schools have started practising!)
I hope that everyone will attend every practice faithfully. Each time a member misses a practice, it affects the entire team - because we're all performing as a team. Please do not think that you're just one person and your absence will not make any difference. I can assure you it does.
How does it work?
When you do miss a practice and return for the next one, you'll be lost. When one Chorister projects a certain part of a song wrongly, it affects the rest of the team. The voices don't harmonise as well, or the timing is off, and so on. Everyone has to sing over and over and over again. We end up spending time trying to get it right instead of spending time to perfect our singing by improving our expression and so on.
So you see how each and everyone of you are so important?
But of course, we're not running a torture camp. If you feel GENUINELY unwell, please inform the teachers. Still, we'll really appreciate it if you could stay and listen to what Ms Khor's instructions are. Even though you are not well enough to sing, at least you know what's going on and wouldn't be as lost for the next practice. However, if you're not well enough to stay, please do see a doctor and rest at home instead of gallivanting around, aggravating your health in the process.
Speaking of which, the weather has been very cold of late. Please take good care of yourselves.
Well, it's going to be a very busy and exciting holiday! I know I'm looking forward to the trip. Are you? ;)
Cheers!
Ms J. Tan
PS: ALL THE BEST TO PUPILS TAKING THE O LEVEL EXAMS!

Tuesday Morning Assembly
Dear people,
You did great on Tuesday morning during the morning assembly - even though the Baritones were not around.
Some teachers came up to me and complimented on your singing. The Principal also thanks you for the performance.
Continue to feel the music and sing with your heart!
:)
Miss J. Tan
