Details for Monday's Training

Hi Guys!

We would start learning a new piece, Black Orpheus on this coming Monday's training (9am to 12nn) :D:D:D. The score is not difficult, but it requires much more practice than Salut d'Amor. Those of you present during earlier practices may have heard Ms Wong run the song once though on her laptop. Audibly, you'll be able to roughly gauge the difficulty level of each part.

While starting on Black Orpheus, Salut d'Amor would also be played during Monday/Tuesday's Training. For those who have yet to practice the second page of Salut d'Amor, do use this weekend to do so.

Please be punctual (if not early) for this coming practice as we'll learn as much of the score as possible in the 1 hour before Ms Wong arrives. As usual, do report at guitar room when you arrive as E block classrooms should be ready by Monday.

SYF attire

I bet you must all be wondering why we took a few ugly shots with no heads and legs and stuff right?

(And who that person is.)

Well...This is the jacket that the guys are tentatively going to get for SYF! There's something wrong with the lighting because the jacket was green...Like dark military green. Not brown.And the shirt's just a normal white shirt which you can ignore for now.

The jacket costs $35.

So, we need the guys to...comment, and tell us if the jackets are ok, etc. As for the girls, we already have something in mind...We'll show you another time ok?

(Btw,that person is Jonathan who should not be reading as I type right now.)

Alright, I'll be back in one and a half weeks' time to ask for comments! Bye!

Updates on Trainings and Attendance

hey ppl!

The new venue for trainings would be at the 3rd level classrooms in the A block, A300, 302, 303. This is because the usual classrooms that we are using (E201, E202) are undergoing repainting. So please take note of the new venues!

Also, as mr quek has mentioned when he was addressing the club on monday, please be informed that your overall attendance for the year has to meet the 85% mark at least, for continued membership. We will be informing the people whose attendance has not made the mark as soon as possible and give further notice, or go through further discussion where necessary.

As all of us know, SYF is coming in a few months' time. Thus, we really hope that all of us can place guitar as top priority now amongst your other commitments (if you do have them), and remember that trainings are compulsory except when you are overseas (school trip or family trip), on attachment, or have other prior compulsory school commitments that take precedence. For voluntary events that work on a sign-up basis, they would, strictly speaking, not be valid reasons for absence from guitar trainings.

I believe many of us are kind of enjoying trainings at least a little more now.. what with the sports thing every Friday and all. So let's keep this enthusiasm going, and we can do it! If we put our minds to it. Let's work towards a common goal!

Cheers,
Tricia :)

Sports for life!

I'm just adding on to Weihan's post below about holiday training. Because...Starting tomorrow, the last hour of Friday holiday trainings will be used for sports. Yes, you heard me right. Sports.

So please remember to bring your PE attire tomorrow and all other Fridays (or at least any shirt and shorts).

Being in guitar, we're stuck in an air-con room for 9 hours a week during holidays, so it'll do us some good to get a little sun. AND it's considered official training time, so Friday attendance has to be accounted for.

In addition, I'll update everyone soon on the chalet plans in Jan, and possibly outing in Dec. See you tomorrow!

not totally just guitar, but with other instruments as well

with tremolo, by RGS i think

Regarding Quien Sera
You guys may have noticed that we have given you another song, Quien Sera. Your guitar parts are the same as La Cumpasita. We will be going through this as soon as we finish up with La Cumpasita(estimate of 1 week). Please try to play this song on your own smoothly before the time comes for us to combine. (P.S. The song sounds like Sway)

Sample of the song played by TPJC

If you do not have either songs due to your commitments/ being overseas, please email/ msn me to get a copy of the songs. Do not expect to come back next year and be able to play the songs perfectly within a short time as we have to prepare alot other songs for both syf and concert. THANKS (:
