Expectations of Choir Members
This post is for the benefit of both old and new choir members, to set the tone for the rest of 2006 as we move to new levels as the Voices in the Garden.
- All choir members are to turn up punctually. Practices on Wednesdays are from 3.00pm to 6.00pm, and practices on Fridays are from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Please note that people who need to arrive later / leave earlier are to inform Nadiah BEFORE the day of the practice. Please note also that personal commitments (eg: family wants you home earlier for something) must be accompanied by a letter from the parent.
- You are to have your own set of scores for all practices. Sharing will not be entertained. You are also to have your scores organized, and be able to find them when they are to be used for a practice. You are also expected to make your own notes on your scores.
- All choir members are involved in singing for the morning assembly on Wednesday mornings. You are to arrive at 6.50am at E02-01 for a very necessary warm-up.
- All choir members are responsible for maintaining a pleasant environment during the practice.
- Every choir member is just as important, and no choir member should feel that he/she is better than the others.
- Choral singing is a group effort, and everyone has something to learn from each practice. Attention-seeking behaviour disrupts the practice and wastes the time of the choral director.
- All choir members are responsible for maintaining discipline so that all are able to concentrate and benefit from the practice. People who talk or fidget should not be responded to so that they are not encouraged to continue.
- Students who do not turn up with the scores required for the practice will be asked to return home to retrieve them.
- Students who are disruptive will be removed from the music room until that person is ready to return and to be a contributing part of the choir.
- Students who are repeatedly absent or late will be put on probation and will be requested to leave if it becomes a common problem.
Remember that the choir is as strong as its weakest member. Effort, on your part, is always appreciated by your choral director and teachers-in-charge and we will enforce these rules so that the choir can grow.
Remember that we can do great things, but that it is only possible when each and every choir member makes a personal effort to be the best that he/she can be.

New Faces
First practice with our new faces
Just to update everyone - we are holding auditions for all lower sec students, for choir members who will join us on a project basis, from now all the way til March 2007, so they will be with us for the ABRSM choral singing exam and SYF2007. Auditions will start in 2 weeks time, and we are looking at having a minimum of 40 choir members for our upcoming projects.
Ms Chee will also be dropping by our choir practice THIS FRIDAY, so everyone is reminded to be punctual, properly dressed and with the right frame of mind to focus for a good choir practice.

Voices in Punggol Park
I hereby declare this outing to be named "Voices in Punggol Park" because for one supposedly tranquil and soggy afternoon, Punggol Park resonated with the excited voices and footsteps of our choir members, who invaded the otherwise quiet park for their team-building day. We all had an amazing amount of fun for a mere 3 hours, and we're definitely throwing together something new like this every other month or so when we're not working hard for upcoming performances to dazzle our audiences.
Anticipation
A group shot before setting off on our PHOTOHUNT!
Crossing the road with grace and sophistication... "Cheong ah!"
Running about looking for photos
Finding the places where the photos were, and taking their own
There were obstacles to be cleared
Look out! Godzilla is coming!
The winning team!
Dancing the cha cha
Reading the nice things our friends had to say
And heading home after an EXHAUSTING but fulfilling excursion

Friday's Outing
What have we got planned for Friday? Here's a photograph to whet your appetite...
Its also to remind you to bring your digital cameras, or phone cameras along - the more the merrier! :) You will also need to wear your choir t-shirt, and bring your own drinking water. The activity is outdoors, so prepare to be in the sun.
Remember to bring a special something for your mortal - it will be the day of revelation... so exciting! Wahaha!
