Jokes For You?

Hey guys!

Happy Sunday! Well, tomorrow is Monday... Time to face the Monday bluezz again... Here's some orchestra jokes to cheer you up! :D

(Let me just establish the fact that these jokes are wonderful and amazing.) 

How many second violinists does it take to change a light bulb?

None. They can't get up that high! 

A double bass player arrived a few minutes late for the first rehearsal of the local choral society's annual performance of Handel's Messiah.

He picked up his instrument and bow, and turned his attention to the conductor. The conductor asked, "Would you like a moment to tune?"

The bass player replied with some surprise, "Why? Isn't it the same as last year?"

How do you tell the difference between a violinist and a dog?

The dog knows when to stop scratching.

String players' motto: "It's better to be sharp than out of tune."

What's the difference between a viola and a trampoline?

You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

What's the difference between a viola and an onion?

No one cries when you cut up a viola.

Hope these jokes relieve your Monday bluezz! 

You can also practice your sadness away ;)

Good luck for your EOY results!

Upcoming Teacher's Day Performance

Hey Guys :)

There's an upcoming teacher's day performance this Thursday! We are going to play Viva La Vida, Mantras, or even both! Remember to practice really hard! We need that extra sound in everyone!

Remember not to rely on your seniors to "cover up" for you. It's best if you can play the song as well as we really need that extra instrument to make our orchestra play to its fullest potentials. Even if only one of you don't play, it can really affect the sound of the whole orchestra!

Practice whenever you can from today up to this coming Thursday! We need to give the teachers a good impression on our amazing LOVELY CCA!

Work hard! Happy weekend! ^_^

Cat + Parrot = Friends

Hey guys! It's Monday. Mondays suck. So here's a CUTE CUTE CUTE picture for ya'll!!

I mean, at least I think it's cute. Look at the bird. It's like rubbing itself on the cat's butt. They're so totally friends.

If a parrot and a cat can be friends, we can get distinction too!! At least we can talk to each other. How the hell do the cat and the parrot communicate? *Chirp, chirp, CHIIRRPP* *mew mew mew MEOW*

Oh wells. 3 more days. 3 is a nice number. 3 musketeers, 3 blind mice, the 3 fates in mythology.

Hang in there everyone!

Love and goodnight,
ATAY :D

p.s. If any of you know who's tearing down our beloved strings board, please tell the reds or smth. It's quite sad.
