updates(from last string practice):
  • valid reason for late coming is revised. valid reason = compulsory activities, e.g. CIP(coming late due to projects are not considered as a valid reason, unless it's the teacher who made you stay back). and even with a valid reason, do inform Pearlyn(the secretary)beforehand - and give letter(s)to her if needed.
  • the person in charge of all of the rooms' keys from last practice(30 July'08)will be Joyce(quarter/room master)from Violin2. kindly approach her if you would need the string room key during practice - however, please remember to lock the string room and return the keys to Joyce afterwards.
  • everyone must pack up and re-arrange back all the furniture of the practice room(mostly music room)before they can be dismissed - offeneders9without a valid reason)will be punished.
  • the songs we practiced during the last practice(30 July'08)are serenade and suite & light - those that didnt attend the practice session, kindly self-practice at home so as to catch up with the others that have already started.
  • please self-practice at home till the next practice on this coming Monday(4 August'08).

reminder :

  • everyone is to wear their cca t-shirt on every Monday's practice.

below are the pictures we have taken xDD
there may be others...but i'm not sure who has the pictures. but we didn't really take alot of photo, nor did it include everyone...cos some take a long time to return to string room. While me, sam and Yvonne had something on so we left abit early. No matter what, we have great fun today!
ONCE AGAIN,
CONGRATS TO SAMUEL,EDWIN AND WANTENG!
string is proud of you guys! :)

rehearsal/'tech-run' for the speech day's performance today is very successful! however, there will be a full-dress rehearsal tomorrow for speech day's performance. hence, performers, please kindly, have your costumes and court shoes ready by tomorrow and bring them to school.


also, listen out for announcements that should most probably be made tomorrow after the national anthem and pledge. the meeting time and place will be further confirmed tomorrow, but for now, it should be at 2pm in the hall.

today, we and Ms Candy Koh went to PLMGS primary to attend a carnival held by them, as we are invited. we are split into 2 groups of 9 and 10 each, and each group went to different booths for different activities. there were quite a lot of booths and the performers were outstanding and interesting.

the following are some of the leaflets given to us by different booths :

1. from the percussion booth


2. from the angklung booth - the angklungs sounds really nice



3. from the chimes booth - their performance was very nice & interesting, they made used of the concept of tuning fork, i think.


4. from the ukulele booth - they had a Hawaiian theme booth, it's like a mini version of guitar.



5. from the hand bell booth - they performed in the hall, on the stage as they needed lots of space for their instruments/hand bells.


6. from the Indian dance booth - they put up an interesting performance at the canteen



7. form the guitar booth - they played quite a few songs for us.


there are many more booths, but i didnt manage to get all the leaflets, if anyone is interested in contributing to this collection please kindly email the pictures to dunman_string@hotmail.com or pass the leaflets to me(peishi).

the trip was an eye-opener for us, as we are exposed to other musical instruments, those that, many of us havent see or heard of before. pictures taken will be posted up there soon, and anyone who would like to contribute pictures are welcome to email them to dunman_string@hotmail.com.

and, we thank Ms Candy Koh for accompanying us to the event.
