Hello stringers :) About the Angel and Mortal thing, actually you all can reply your angel. But since you do not know who your angel is, just leave it in your own envelopes. Oh and the envelopes, we are putting up envelopes. Each of you get one. And your angel's supposed to put her letter to you in it. And angels, when you collect your letter from your mortal's envelope, make sure your angel doesn't see you do it or something!

This seems very confusing. Nevermind, I'll explain on Monday to all of you.

Yay hope this thing can go on and not stop! :) If can, we'll pick a new mortal again 1 or 2 months later.

Seee you all! Practise hard!

<3 Ziqian.
Ahh, I wanted to tell you all this today but didn't feel right. Anyway, I shall spill it all here.

I really hope all of you do practise hard - especially for next year's SYF. Reasons being: I may not be able to lead you all for SYF next year. It's not me, its my parents. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Well, all this is still tentative, so well, wish me luck!

Competition will be extremely tough next year, with many new orchestras coming in. WE ONLY HAVE AROUND 4 PLUS MONTHS LEFT (minus December) for SYF preparations, and these 4 plus months will fly past really fast. Next year we red badges will hardly have time to drill and help you all for we will be extremely busy with O level preparations so IT IS UP TO YOU TO MAKE SURE WE GET RESULTS.

So, what's our goal for SYF? It's up to you to decide.


UPCOMING PERFORMANCE
17th November
PMB Investiture
1PM
Forum
Bach Double and Peter Hope Momentum


The acoustics there can be really nice but one wrong note and it can be heard. I may be calling a few of you up for checks - so be prepared. AND IT IS JUST A CHECK so please do not get all flustered up and please do not cry (eh hem, you know who you are).

And please bring $15 for the Camp Tee and fees the next practise.

Jana!

Hahaha it looks like carrots -wink wink.
Hello! Well, very few people know of this blog - so far. Anyway, please thank MISS CHERRY TAN for doing up the coding for this lovely lovely blog!

WHAT'S UP TOMORROW

CCA starts at 3PM, so that means you all come EARLIER than 3pm.

Violin 1s, please brush up on the last few bits of Shosta. Some of you are still sight-reading through the entire thing. Also, if you can't get the notes for Turina right, please ask me or Maryanne or just use a piano. If you do not have a piano at home, come earlier (before string practise) and make sure you get the notes right.

Violin 2s, for Bach Double Movement 1, please practise the fast quaver-y chunks as many of you are depending on Rachel for sound.

Sec 1s, I know it is difficult for all of you to handle so many pieces at one chunk, but please understand the tight schedule we are in!

Violas, Cellos and Basses, I have no right to comment on you all for I'm not familiar with your instruments, but Basses - PLEASE IMPROVE ON THE VOLUME OF SOUND! We can't afford to sound so "small" during the concert. The HCI side will not have many Basses performing for the concert. Cellos please take note of this too.
