Hi everyone,

Just a short notice to you all regarding the stock take on 8th nov. The school will be checking all its property which we are holding on that day, so I'll need to compile a list of all the school stuff that we have in the strings room. Presently I am not too sure what belongs to who... what with the missing instruments and extra unmarked ones that have turned up. Therefore I advise everyone to evacuate all their instruments and instrument related belongings from the room by 7th nov(wednesday, our next rehearsal)... otherwise I will be marking any case I don't recognise as school property.

Alternatively, you can label your case with your name so I know who it belongs to(I'll leave some labels on the glass table tomorrow and you all can use those.)


Thanks for your cooperation. And sorry for any inconvenience caused.
QM

(Apologise for the lack of cold jokes in this post. Over-spammed during rehearsal today. XD)

Hi guys,

Latest news... MR FOO IS BACK!!! Muahahaha... So long to the days of faking and air-bowing! I'm going to miss those fantastic pianissimos, though. *ahem* We don't get such tremendous dynamic contrast very often. Mind, the gummie bear rule still applies. Haha... no practise = no gummie bears! And if all of you don't hurry and claim your share of the gummie bears, I assure you they're all going to disappear mysteriously. Then everyone will be going, 'Where are the gummie bears? I didn't see them! Hmmmmm... Are there still gummie bears left???' By then, the gummie bears will be in a happier land known as Myst Omach.

If you want recordings, I have sent you guys the YouSendIt links for Suk recordings. Alternatively, they're available in our Gmail account. Please hurry and download if you haven't. The links are going to expire soon. Mendelssohn recordings, provided by Man Lok, can also be obtained from your SLs/ ASLs. Listen, Learn, Practise! =)

And to our long-suffering cellists, I promise we won't play Pachebel's Canon in a long, long time. I suppose that's good news, but if you still want to play it, just tell us and I guess no one's going to stop you. =P

Pachebel Rant...


Enjoy and HAPPY PRACTISING!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALBERT! *WEEE WEEET!* :D

hi to all,
the small banner has been completed. it was originally intended for us to have 1 small banner, but due to our extremely strategic booth position :D (07S61 class bench, or the bench just opposite the corridor linking the canteen to the right wing), it was decided that we should have 2, back-to-back, such that people facing our booth as well as people standing at other wings would have an opportunity to realise that our booth was there. below are photographs of what was done:


first banner: we corrected the original design as shown in the previous post due to space limitations and such. sorry if you don't like it, but who asked you to be non-present today? ha.


second banner: this one is done on pure white cloth as compared to the previous one, which was on cream white cloth. this is because it was thought that pure white would appear too funeralish. unfortunately, the uncle did not have sufficient creamy white cloth.

so together, they look like a very cute comparison of one banner done in the 1960s and one done in the 2000s. a mother-and-daughter banner, someone mentioned. much thanks to all those who turned up to help: albert, farrica, guanhui, huifen, jane, kenneth, manlok, sarah, tianyi, wanfang, yingpeng, zhixiang.

see you on monday, 1200-1500 at the amphitheatre.

Hi to all,

The final choices on banner designs have been decided, and we will be launching painting immediately and here is the plan:

Saturday 06/10 SMALL BANNER
Monday 07/10 BIG BANNER


tentative design, to be upgraded and finalised



For Saturday, the majority of the banner committee will be meeting at 1300 to start work. Anyone who is available is strongly encouraged to come down because we are needing manpower. Also, we will be discussing and finalising the Big Banner design (due to a number of suggestions regarding it) and you will get a chance to impose your views ha.

On Monday, the Big Banner will be chalked and painted. This will take place from 1200 to 1430. Even though banner-painting is the "official" responsibility of the banner committee, I really hope that everyone will come down to help because we are really severely lacking in manpower. Even though some of you are involved in PW from either 1100-1300 or 1300-1500 (and after that is FOS), I've tried to slot the painting period in such a way that you can come down and help. AND I KNOW ALL YOUR CLASSES AND THE POST-PROMOS TIMETABLE OKAY HA.

Yours,
Brittany

PS Please call me when you are coming down, or if you have any enquires about anything.
