Sec 1 Orientation Info
Hello Choir!The Sec 1 Orientation performance for recruitment will be held in the school hall on the 11th Jan in the afternoon from 2-5pm together with all the other CCAs. You will have 10 minutes to sell yourselves, and also, you will need to set up a 'booth' where you can show stuff about choir and have the Sec 1s who are interested to sign up.
You will need to prepare:
1. A programme for the 10 minutes (what EXACTLY are you going to do and who is going to do it and who is going to prepare for it and how?)
2. The booth (pictures/video etc), sign up sheet etc.
3. You will need to FOLLOW UP with the students who are interested to make sure that they don't get attracted by other CCAs that are more 'on'.
Recruitment is EVERYBODY'S problem - and everyone needs to be involved.

dont feel like dancing
I dont feel Like dancing - Scissor SistersI started realising this when my ex-primary school friend, who is a music fanatic, introduced me to this song. I went to YouTube and search for the song, and EVENTUALLY, it is this.
Surprisingly, after I saw this video, I felt physically uncomfortable. There is men donned up as a gay, and mostly, A MAN IN A TUTU!? Surprised, huh. Luckily you wont be seeing me wearing a tutu(aka "skirt") in school! haha, I am a famous "gay" in the whole of SGSS. LOL
This song's quite nice, and actually this is an appeal. I just wanted to ask "Is there any lyrics for this song???"

Have you gone down to town to look at the Christmas lights? :-)
There are quite a few choirs that go out to do Christmas carolling during this time of the year, and its rather often to see them when you go out on weekends especially during these few weeks. Do hang around and check them out if you're not in a hurry - there's always stuff to be learnt from watching other groups perform.
Wishing all a merry christmas! :-)
Btw, if you need to organize your own sectionals, please go ahead - I won't be able to be in school to open rooms for you etc, but do make your own arrangements directly with Mdm Ng or Ms Yang if you need to use rooms. I'm in the middle of 'moving office' and there's really quite a lot to do. That and I'm not always able to be in our school because there are things I need to do in my new school to get ready for 2008.
That being said, if you have any problems at all, do feel free to contact me. You know the number to call. Pls. put your name down when you SMS me because I may not have your number in my phone.

Travelling...
Hello choir,Will be out of town from 1-12dec 07, but contactable by sms. Pls. identify yourself if u msg me because I may not have your tel in my phone. Will be in the province of Yunnan in China. Won't be looking for internet access when I'm there, unless there's free wifi my phone can pick up so probably will not read any emails 'til I get back. Meanwhile, if there are urgent matters related to choir, pls approach Ms Yang or Mdm Ng or the school directly. I'll be thousands of miles away and won't be much help for immediate matters.
Will be back in and out of school the week after I get back to move out of the current staffroom and into the new staffroom. Anyone who wants to help is welcome to drop by! :-)
Meanwhile:
1. Shawn to please train 3 reliable people in the choir (you choose) on how to set up and handle the choir's mikes and stands. Shawn and Stessen are the only 2 people who know how to do it at the moment, so the lower sec choir members need to know. There will be performances where you need to do this in the 1st term already. Choir mikes and stands will be placed with Mdm Ng. Make arrangements directly with her please.
2. Wen Jing: Pls. approach Mr Wee and let him know the choir will be keen to help out with the teaching of the school song as part of the Sec 1 Orientation and to please include a slot for it in the Orientation programme that he will be planning.
3. Those of you who don't have the choir t-shirt yet, please bring $10 to the practice on the 28th Dec and I will pass you your t-shirt.
4. I believe all of you are aware that you have to sing for Sec 1 Orientation within the first week of school and that this performance is VERY IMPORTANT because you need to impress the new students so that as many as possible will join choir. We are targeting having at least 3 members from each class. I expect to hear you at performance standard when I see u on the 28th so please do your homework and don't forget what you need to do. Approach your section leaders and student conductors for help. Choir committee may wish to hold their own practices before that if possible to make sure that you are all ready when we see you for that final practice on the 28th. By then, if you are not ready, it will really be too late and there will be nothing I can do to help you because I will not be around.
5. RE: Party. I'm thinking of having a simple post-practice potluck party on the 28th after the choir practice since its the last time I'll be seeing you. Think of something you can make or bring that's enough for about 3-4 people, and I'll coordinate. More details when I get back, but think of possibilities of what to bring/make. :-)
