Hello choir! Jiaqi here! :D
I am glad that most of you have attended both practices on tuesday and thursday as Mr Wong was present. It is also the last practice before the exam break. We have learnt a new song "Hear the Music" and re learnt parts for the "The Wind" SAB version. It should be easier for us to grasp onto our new parts for "The Wind" since I'm sure most of us has heard all the different parts before. As for "Hear the Music" it is a very short song, so it should be easy to remember.
After the exam break, we will be learning two new songs that will be used for both the End Of Year concert as well as the Hong Kong trip, so we must know our parts well for the songs that we have already learnt so as to save time to learn the other two songs well. Also, do expect to have practice thrice a week. We must get a GOLD for the competition and do really well for the concert... and for Mr Wong's surprise ;D shhhhh, don't say it. hahaha. x)
If anyone of you are interested to design the poster for the concert, please do so and hand it up to Mr Wong the next practice after the exams. :D The title of the concert is going to be "Singspiration"!~ It is not confirmed though so if you guys think you have better names, you can suggest it to Mr Wong as well :)
As for the payment for the Hong Kong trip, please remember to bring and pass up all of your edusave forms and cheques by this coming Tuesday, if not you'll not be able to go to Hong Kong.Oh yes, we'll be having a choir tee soon, so be prepared to bring about $13 on Tuesday as well :D
Okay, that's all!! Do study hard and score well for your exams!! :D Good luck to you all ^^

Hello choir! Jiaqi here. :D
Thursday's practice ->
Attendance for that day's practice was not bad. Everyone was on time and was cooperative even though Mr Wong was not present. We need to see more of this in every practice so that we'll be able to do well for the year end concert and in hongkong :)
Sop 1s - Good job on the loud singing! But do know when to talk, and when not to, especially when Janice is teaching the rest of the sections their parts.
Sop 2s - From what I see, you guys are not very sure of your parts for "Still I Rise". Also, sop2s cant really be heard as well. Do speak up if you're not sure of your parts and sing louder as well.
Altos - Even though it's a big section but sometimes, your will get influenced by the sops and start singing the wrong notes. Do listen out to your own section while singing as well. Some of the voices are sticking out, please try to blend in with the rest..~
as previously mentioned, this song is very choral so we must all try to blend in together for a good result :) its a song that we'll be singing for both of the big events we'll be having at the end of the year, so we must do well! :D
Also, please hand in all of your planning for the special item for our year end concert this coming week. Don't forget to practice your scores and take note that choir is on tuesday instead of monday this week! :D Those who hadn't pay choir fund for this month (sept) please do so!! :D
OH AND CHECK THE NOTICE BOARD. muahahah. >:D
have a good weekend!! :)

Hello People of the little land of smurffletown , Remember to submit these stuff!!
: Your Designs
: Plans for what we should do for our special item
I'll be taking attendance and i don't wish to see anyone who didn't do the stuff i mentioned above. You've got a week, and however lazy you are, just 5-10 minutes of singing/planning wouldn't kill you. Alright? There's always a time to play and a time to be serious. The year end concert is not something we can plan at the last minute . I want us to be at top-form for the concert and Hongkong. We can do it, but if we all don't work together, nothing , NOTHING is going to turn out as good as we originally planned it to be.
So, that's all for the serious part, for now.
Have a great holiday! Practice your scores and study! And we'll see you guys when school reopens, MONDAY 12th September outside the music room 3.15pm SHARP.
