Monday Practice Cancelled

hey everyone,

tml's practice is cancelled. do take a good rest and make good use of this extra time. =)

there will be teachers' day concert rehearsal on wed, and before that we will also be having our own practice. however, the time and venue will be updated later. so do check the blog or board for further updates.

thanks.

Today

hello everyone,
today has been a tiring and long day. many things have happened today.

first, i'd like to apologise for the outcome of the rehearsal today, many things were unable to plan in advanced due to the tight schedule and the limited amount of resources. it was confusing then and everyone seemed lost. hopefully, tomorrow's rehearsal would be better. as for tomorrow's rehearsal, dinner will be provided, so please meet at canteen at 5.00pm for dinner tomorrow.

Secondly, sorry to everyone, especially to those whom were there and to jianan for flaring up today. as can be seen most of the exco, especially the MIs are very stressed and frustrated over the performances when facing with the prospect of performing on stage within such a short period and the organizers pressing us for details for the performance.

Hope that everyone can try and understand that we are trying very hard to make things work here, we're new and jus got handed over at a really bad timing blocktest - handover - promos.
there is hardly enough time to prepare to perform on stage for events like the CIP concert and the teacher's day concert yet we really don't want you guys to waste ur 2 years in guitar jus learning ensemble pieces and be confined to playing in the LTs or classrooms.

however, guitar ensemble will not progress if we do not work as one. MIs can teach you how to play, help you when you're stuck and give you extra practice lessons and the other exco members can organize events like CIP, Chalet, Club badge and T-shirt. However we REALLY DO NEED you guys to help us out too. there are some things that cannot be done by ourselves. Auditions need to be passed to participate in concert (I failed too due to rhythmic issues), however MIs too have their personal life and matters to attend to. So please take the initiative to approach them for auditions if you cannot attend the stipulated audition date. Each section has 1 MI + the HMI we have 1 mi to around 10 members? They can only do so much and remind you so much. They too are humans. the same applies to the other exco members whom are trying to come up with more events for you to enjoy your time in guitar, however, responses have been generally (limx->0) veri little/dead. unless we can receive more input from you guys we are unable to proceed further with the planning of events. so please, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Cliche as it may sound, but unless we stand together, we'll break into pieces

URGENT
IF YOU'RE NOT REFLECTED UNDER GUITAR MEMBERSHIP/ACHIEVEMENTS PLEASE LOOK FOR ME ASAP OR UR SECTIONAL HEADS. P means pending = just requires verification, it IS reflected

IMPORTANT

Hi,

here are the details of tml's rehearsal.

Time: 5.30pm - 9pm
Venue: Auditorium

there will be no practise before the rehearsal, so you guys just need to come down to the audi straightaway at 5.30pm. of course, please do collect ur guitars from the guitar room before going to the audi. there will be people stationed at the guitar room to open it for everyone to collect their guitars. then very importantly too, there's no need to worry for dinner, as the organisers of the CIP concert will be providing us with dinner on both rehearsals on thurs and fri, as well as on the actual concert day on sat.

Yay!

22nd August, Wednesday

Combined and Teachers' Day rehearsal
22nd August (Wed)
2.30pm, LT4
Training will end late, so please be prepared


By the way, full dress rehearsal is on thursday (23rd August), so do bring along your full black attire then.

Wednesday, 22 August

hey pple,

here's an update for tml's practise.

Venue: LT4
Time: 2.30pm - 6/7pm plus
What it entails: Teachers' Day concert rehearsals + our own combined practise

yep so we will be having our own combined practise as well, other than the teachers' day concert rehearsals. as all of you know, we are simply still not prepared to perform as an ensemble yet. yea though it's undeniable that we have made much progress together as a whole in previous practise sessions, but still, it also undoubtedly true that we still have a long way to go, to improve on the songs till they are of substantial standard.

i have faith that all of us will want to present an enjoyable performance of a good standard to the entire school, especially teachers, since it will be a TEACHERS' DAY concert. yea and for CIP concert, worse still, to the public. so please, dun be late for the practise tml unless you really have valid reasons, and we will be starting as soon as there's a large enough number of people present. do take these few practises with even greater seriousness, and train hard during the few hours that we have together, because you and i are both aware that the performances are just this saturday and next friday.

to get to a really serious note, it has become an unanimous agreement among the MIs, that we will remove any member who does not turn up for any of the coming rehearsals without a valid reason from the upcoming performances. so please don't waste all your efforts so far, practising the songs and preparing for auditions, by just not turning up for rehearsals.

finally, please also note that thursday's rehearsal will be a FULL-DRESS rehearsal, in which everyone needs to bring their full-black attire on that day. again, anyone that is unable to do so will be not allowed onto stage.

that's all. thanks and cya!

Updates on CIP and teachers' day

Hello!

Some updates for CIP and teachers' day:

Attire
CIP concert: All black
Teachers' day: White t-shirt and jeans

Rehearsals/Performances
Please remember to take note of the following dates!
22nd August: Teachers' day full run and combined.
23rd August: Dry run for CIP, 5.30pm

25th August: CIP concert, 6.30pm

Please make sure that you turn up for the rehearsals, as we have to be sure of how we walk onto and off the stage etc., co-ordination between everyone is important!

O ya, for the rehearsals, do remember to bring your homework and notes to mug as there will probably be a lot of time spent waiting.

This period will be very busy and hectic, and all of us will probably be very tired but we have to practice hard to put up a good show on Saturday night and on Teachers' Day, so lets 加油! We can do it! :)

Good luck to those taking chem SPA this week!

and just some random things
Morenita - Mario version (works quite well as a ringtone xD)
some random AG grp (sry really dno who! got uh zhi yong and shi yun inside 1 i think) practising super long ago

yupp thts all. hmm. rmb to look up at conductor and practise at home looking up at nothing. have fun. anyway just a reminder. next monday combined training at LT3 for those who've passed auditions and re-auditions at E301 for those who needs to go for it. try not to be late okay. or rather. don't be late. anyway, next week will be really tough but we need alotalotalot more practise cos. ya we're just not ready enough yet. so jiayou, and do practise. thanks.

Auditions

Hello! I dno why im updating now cos uh. ya. im quite sure nobody will read the blog now -.- kudos to those who are though! wow. nvm dun mind me im just crapping cos tml no sch for me. ya. i'll be sick tml.

anyway! an after view of what happened after audition..

"OMG sch gate all close alr HOW! the uncle locked us in T_T"

"Haiz.. uncle missing. sch gate all locked. how are we going to spend the night lo.."

"AHH forget it. lets just go back and camp overnight in the guitar room la"

lol. ok nvm damn random. anyway. just some comments about audition. Generally i hear myself keep saying this.

"Its not about the notes, its not even about the dynamics. Its about, coordination between the 3 guitars. There must be this this distinction of each parts, a feel of layering. Its just very xin ku to hear *looks at denyse/eileen/yingzhi* 3 ppl talking at once. (MIs start talking together). SEE? very irritating rite. i mean first guitar shd be lyk louder blahblahblahblah etcetcetc."

familiar? smthing like that. ahh since i've got no sch tml. i might as well be nice and come up with the commonly said things today. yes. thats 1. some grps all 3 guitars are just like. blasting at full volume. some are just daoing the rest. some are. i dno. pawning the rest. try to work among ur own group and of cos later on the ensemble to create music together. and not as ur individual parts. ya.

"Guitar 1 the slurs HOR. KEEP NV JOIN TOGETHER 1! haiz."

guitar 1. the slur parts. please play like this: here

and not like this: here

or even worse this: here

join,join and JOIN. yes. join.and you all all super scared of slurs. somehow at slurs that part you'll either:

1) rush / suddenly slow down (good)

2) fluctuaate the speed (not that bad)

3) distorte the whole rhythm there (bad)

4) STONE (pawnage)

please try your best not to do that? slurs don't bite generally?

"Just to let you all know k.. but no need change. The whole chorus can actually be played here. No need run all over the place de. but nvm la. DON'T NEED TO CHANGE k!"

Another familiar line i'm sure. Ya. for Shi Jie guitar 1. chorus that part can actually all be played at 1 position. but just fyi la.. as in thats just 1 beauty of guitar. u can play the same not at all diff positions and you're supp to explore the best position to play it. so running all over the place is like. bad. but its alrite. don't bother changing, no time le.

"your footstool hor. blahblahblahblah. Try sitting halfway out of your sit, den can sit straight. look smart not slack"

another v. familiar line. yesyes. posture. its not that we've got nothing better to do but to grill you guys over such tiny details. but on the stage, you just don't wan everyone having the wrong posture, our guitars will look like this:

-//-/-/-/<>.<\\-o-o\\==+++

if you get wht i mean. we need to standardize how every1 looks.

"last part need to slow down.. ya 3rd guitar must play louder.. first guitar and 2nd guitar softer..OYA did u all play the repeat ah? got ah. o. it was so loud i tot u guys nv.. sorrysorry!"

morenita last part.. ya. most ppl didnt slow down and do all the things that are required of them.

"wow i very happy! you're one of the few groups that got pause before the modulation 1. wow!"

"haiz. i very sad. you're one of the few groups that didnt pause before the modulation... haiz"

erm. ok. those 2 lines are used interchangably do i dno which 1 to put. but yes. for Shi Jie again. before modulation (change to the high mood de) please rmb to pause awhile. ya.

yupp. thats about all the common things i can rmb that kept repeating itself over and over today. anyway..

congrats to those who've passed the first audition. you guys have put in hard work and we can see it. but do still practise hard cos. Not all of you passed well. There are some of you who are like at the tipping point which resulted in a mini debate among the MIs. so do still practise k. (even for those who are like. amazingly quite good alr). yupp.

BUT super imptly. don't feel sad if you've failed auditions. 2nd audition is coming up and uh. just jiayou for it cos alot of you are like. borderline fail. its not like we are sadistic and enjoy failing people. but if we were to pass you we'll just be lying to ourselves. cos. there are parts that need to be worked on and we just want to hear one more time how it sounds like after you've worked on it. and we've told u all ur problems individually alr by now so. ya do work on them.

oh. and sorry the auditions took so long. we kinda dragged cos it didnt only end up as a audition we told u guys ur prob on the spot too. Thats why it took muchmuch longer than expected. sorrysorry. esp to the last few grps. so sorry.

So first audition is over! happy. o try to cheer up and don't feel so stressed? cos some of you can play 1 lo. its just you're just SO stress until we've to come and see you again on mon again. and make you even more stress. wht an irony lo. just play well and get it over and done with ba x)

For the auditions, its very encouraging to see some people reallyreally putting in effort to learn the piece. they're incredible. even more so to those few who have just joined us but yet can already play the piece. we were delighted la. continue jiayou-ing k!

but at the same time. there are also a few who just cant really be bothered with auditions. can tell de lo. its just diff levels of cant be botheredness. from being complacent and not learning the piece well etc. To faking by attempting to move some fingers to blend into the crowd. This kinda things doesn't work at all the lo. the MIs are not ben de can. and furthermore, believe it or not. we don't look at you. your mistake transmit to our ears faster than it does to our eyes. thats why sometimes we might seem like we aren't bothered with sitting down and listening but trust me. we can still detect any and every mistake. forget about smoking through auditions. it definitely doesnt work.

wow. super long post. and i wan go slp le. lol. k shall go record the guitar 1 that slur part now.. yup jiayou ppl! most of u SHD if nth goes wrong get pass audition successfully. trust me, it hurts us just as much, if not even more to fail people. we don't like it x) eww.

last but not least. please msg yours MIs your choice for club tee and the size that you want. the designs are on the club board. choose 1 or 2. 1 is the green colour theme guitar thingo. 2 is the boy/girl 1. yupp. and if any1 of you designed and haven't show us your design, just uh. call me or the MIs immediately. i think call me la. quite free tml. ya. okay! i shall go slp. nights.

Auditions

Hi all

A long day today, especially for groups which had to wait for a longer time. But you all should know why the auditions took so long right, since you were in the room yourself. As in auditions are not just about passing or not passing, the MIs want to tell you all what you have to work on and stuff like that. And some of you were clearly nervous la!

And also. The MIs had a thorough discussion that ended at about 9 plus, so yep that explains why the MIs called you all so late although we said we would call by latest 9.30pm.

If you have passed, congrats but please continue practicing, especially to work on the stuff the MIs pointed out to you, yep don't let us down hahaha. For those who didn't, don't be discouraged. Some of you are already almost there, just some stuff you have to work on so that the MIs can ensure the people performing are of a certain standard. Some of you were quite nervous and didn't play as well as you could have. And some of you really have to put in more effort.

And. Like what denyse says, "It's really painful to fail your own section member." It's seriously hard la ahahaha. But your results have to be decided and agreed on by every MI, so...

Everyone jiayou!

(Pls check guitar board to look at club tee designs, and vote for one by smsing your MI, together with the size you want, by thursday noon if possible, because we have to collate numbers, sizes, and finally send it down for printing.)

For monday, those who passed auditions, please go to LT3 at 4pm for combined session. Meanwhile, there would be re-auditions at E301 at 4pm too.

Next training

Hey guys, its nearing the end of term 3 and everyone is starting to grow weary and tired, but lets muster our last bit of strength and end our 3rd term in guitar with our IMPRESSIVE performance =) for the concert and teacher's day on a HIGH NOTE ^^.

Next monday's training,
Those who pass audition : LT3
Those who going for next-round for audition: E301

Let's JIA 油！BANKAI!!

CCA registration (updated)

Hey please read my previous post about CCA registration. Here are more updates about it.


Mrs Koh is still processing all the application to join guitar. ISP kinda screwed up or smthing. cos she claims that she didnt see any j1s signing up for guitar. But nvm its alrite. she has the full list now already, its just waiting for the system to process it so please wait patiently for the guitar cca to pop up. IF all else fails, she says that she'll just add us in 1 by 1 manually. yupp.

2nd. Registering for activities. If you log into ISP, you'll see a full range of activities under guitar. Please DO NOT choose any of the rest because. uh. they're useless -.- the only 2 valid activities are 1) Varolari 2) SYF. don't add things like teacher's day, open house blahblah in yet because we're not suppose to add activity that we haven't done yet into our isp (cos she claims that we might end up not going for it due to unforseen circumstances). and furthermore, those activities are invalid. they're just there for show, its some weird problem with isp also (im referring to those activities where u the date is lyk from dno when to 2016 1..) . so ya. the only 2 activities that you need to take note are varolari and syf. do sign up for the necessary activity before wednesday (15/8/07).

yupp thats all. thanks.

Feedbacks

Hello da jia hao!

Here is just to let u know what kind of feedbacks we generally got today after today's feedback session. Basically, we've got quite a number of people thinking that the half attendance thing is pretty strict and redundant. As such, the exco has decided to abolish the half attendance thing for not bringing ur guitar for now. Let me make myself clear, this does NOT mean it is alright not to bring your guitar. It just means that if for some strange reason, somehow, you've forgotten to bring your guitar once in a blue moon, then its okay. as in no half attendance thing will be awarded to you. But we will not tolerate people like every single session come in to borrow club guitar. for a few reasons, 1) you're in guitar club, this is your cca. how can you go for training without even your guitar??? i mean i've nevernever heard the same prob from any other musical grps before lo. 2) club guitars are limited, and there are some people who reallyreally need them (e.g. guitar spoilt etc) if we loan club guitar out to people who've got guitar but just refuse to bring them then its really unfair to those who really need them.

yupp. I may sound harsh in the previous para. but this is really impt, or rather crucial. we recognize that half attendance is harsh. but please try to empathize that members coming for trainings without guitar is. uhm. traumatizing.

we'll keep track of the situation and if it really becomes too bad where you've got like a huge chunk of people purposely not bringing their guitar then the half attendance will definitely come back into play.

So anyway, thanks again for all the suggestion giving to us. do feel free to drop us an email or just talk to us in person, or i dno. tell us if u think that we can improve in anyway, no matter how small or insignificant it might seem. it matters alot to us. yupp. thanks! x)


Obtw. more advertising. but the club badge is still going at $3 each! if you want to purchase them just approach any of the exco members. yupp. and for those who've already bought them, congrats on making a choice you'll never regret x) just for your info, the badge is sch approved so ya you can wear it everyday (on the right collar, NOT to replace sch badge though). for those who've already purchase the badge try to wear everyday k? den if you see like another person coming towards you with that golden coloured banana looking badge, just smile or wave even if u dno each other lo. cos ya dou shi from hcgc de! <3


and 1 last point. Theres a CS session this wednesday. so for those people who are like suay enuff must go and it clashes with your audition timing, do let your MIs know ASAP. yupp. thanks alot and thats all! jiayou for those taking ecos tml.

(p.s. u know u guys can actually post a post also? don't always nid to tag de lo) yupp thats all! nights!

CS and auditions

Eh we know umm some people have CS on wednesday right. Please do tell the MIs, (call/sms), like what AG you're from. Also contact your AG members la, ask if they're fine with it if we push back your audition slot timing.

Some clarification

Hey hello people. I'm here to clarify some things.

If you look at the "rubrics" for the auditions, there are so-called "percentages" allocated to it. I know some of you have got misunderstandings about it. The percentages are not like the percentages that you score in a test, like 50/100 or wht not. Think of percentages as in like how much focus we are putting into that area, how much each of the MIs hope that you can display proficiency in each of the areas. No, we have no wish to make auditions seem like a exam, or test, nor do we want to. Just to clear things up here. and the percentages have been removed since they've caused so many misunderstandings.

Which brings me to my second point, I would like to apologize to everyone. I know all of a sudden there are alot of changes, alot of things to do, and alot of things to get used to. Songs didnt use to be finished within 4 combined and 3 sectionals. yes amazing isn't it. within 7 trainings, we've "finished" in a way a new piece. (ohya and good job ppl jiayou and continue prac-ing hard xD) it took us pretty close to 5 months to finish shan liang. (probably about 40 trainings assuming there are 2 trainings every week and 4 wks in a month). yes sure, we were all new then, and we need time to learn from the very basic, from holding a guitar to learning the notes, which probably accounts for the longer duration. However, looking at it again, its more than that, Morenita isn't simple. at all. In fact its 1 of the hardest pieces we've ever attempted. harder than shan liang, more so for shi jie. I dno, i even think that it might rival/be harder than some parts of our seniors' syf pieces. and yet, together we've managed to finish it. the road ahead might be tough, even stressful for everyone, with all the rehearsals, dry runs, full runs and whatever coming up. Its crazy yes, its crazy until i don't even bother to keep track of it. But as crazy as it may seem, i look forward to it. Not because with every passing day promos are drawing near and my teachers are breathing down my neck for january's tutorial, but because this is the club i love. and this is the club im spending time with. It might be stressful, with auditions and alot of terrorising stuff coming up, but rest assured that all of us, the exco, the MIs, are doing whatever we can, to the best of our ability, to make this as un-terrorising as possible. Especially the 3 MIs, eileen yingzhi and denyse. They really put in alotalotalotalotalotalot. how many people would willing stay up until 4.30am to continue having meeting about auditions, trainings and wht not. they did. and im really proud of them. But still, back to my point, im reallyreally sorry if somehow, we've stressed u all up too much. it was never part of our intention. our only wish is that, every1 wld be really proud to be proud members of hcgc. go around and, i dno. freak other ccas out. make them jealous. make them zi bei. and really enjoy every session we have, treasure every moment we have together. and not only start missing each other when we are forced to part next yr. but if somehow, stress and anxiety have unknowingly creeped into trainings, then i'll just sincerely apologize here. maybe its just the MIs hoping for too much from everyone. sorry.

And last but not least, some members have feedback on auditions and trainings. Thanks a million for telling us. Really, all the MIs are happy when we hear people telling us on how we can improve. while these things might not always be the most pleasant things to hear, they help us learn. precisely because of these things, we can improve and so, be 1 step closer to our dream. yupp so please continue telling us what you feel. admittedly, we're not good. there are times when we screw up, there are times when we could have done better. and we can only do so if you continue telling us where we can improve. so yupp. if theres anything you're unhappy about, do just tell your MIs or me. don't forget theres always ME if you just want a different person to talk to. lol.

ok thats about all le. o and a few more updates. club tee deadline has been successfully pushed to this wednesday (15/8/07). please try to make a design if you can k. this is after all, our club. and club badges are going at $3 each. again, do try to get 1. i feel a sense of pride wearing it to sch everytime. and even look forward going to sch slightly more nowadays, cos i can wear the hcgc badge <3 still hoping that one day we can all identify ourselves with that badge, and of cos, freak other ccas out x)

with love.

Club Tee

Hey hi all sorry this came so late/early (look at the time xD )

anyway. rmb the club deciding that we would wan a club tee? ya. for those who wans your design to be worn by every1 from hcgc and ur design to freak the other ccas out, do start designing it now! designs are due next monday (13/8/07) cos we have to send it for printing. sorry for such a late notice.

BUT. if you reallyreally wan to design and cannot meet deadline. or just have got this urge to design, no matter whether u can meet deadline anot, please call your MIs to let them know! they'll update you further and see if we can try to push the deadline abit.

People designing now:
Vivien

Changes in audition timings, How to pass Audition One

Ok hi all!

AG04: 3.00pm
AG05: 3.15pm

Please check that all your group members can make it. Inform the MIs in advance if any group member is unable to make it for the updated timing. You're reminded to be punctual for your auditions. Latecomers would be penalised accordingly.

And! Here's telling you how to pass Audition One, as discussed by all the MIs.
