Subcomms and J2 Farewell

Hello everyone! (This is Gloria.)

The long-awaited J2 farewell ceremony/party will be held next monday, 4 Aug. There are no lessons next monday for the J1s, so it is mandatory to go for the J2 farewell. Although of course you would probably go even if it's not mandatory.

J2 Farewell
Venue: LT4
Date: 4 Aug 2008 (Mon)
Time: 4 pm (to anytime...?)

All J1s and J2s are invited to go. Please pass the message to guitar members that you will probably meet in school.
You don't have to bring anything except yourself. Unless you want to perform something like a farewell song or something.

So that is for the J2 Farewell. After that, the other subcomms probably have to start working. Here are the subcomms and commitee members:

*You guys will be further divided into your duties by whoever's in charge of concert. There will also be J1s joining the preparations for concert next year.

Yup, that should be about it. Did I miss anyone out? I hope not. Have fun in your subcomms, and don't start planning too late! Ahem.

Hey people!
Good effort today even though there are many things that could be improved. Of course, we can do better by the next performance (: which is by the way, teachers' day! Most likely the songs will be the same, but with the power of the whole cca.

Anyway, reminder: this week, there's no guitar training session. ( we are long overdue for a little break) However, lessons resume on next Monday (28/07/08). So remember to bring your guitar then and turn up for lessons.

Rest well (:

Malaguena: a bull and its matador

Geezz..the blog is dead. Its 1am, and i'm almost dead too. HAHA.

Malaguena if played correctly, reflects a bull fight with a matador. The spirit of the fight is played out quite nicely in this video, although if you listen carefully, one of the players pressed the wrong fret. If you can correctly identify the wrong note with the timing of the video, i'll treat you to a drink haha. (YES trust me, there is a note played wrongly, look at your score and follow the notes as they play. hint: accidentals)

If you look closely, you'll notice that there are different sizes of guitars there. The most noticeable is the UBER big guitar, called the Guitarron. The smallest is the alto. I'll share more if we have time. Meanwhile, enjoy the video :D

Sorry, i couldn't embed the video here. THANKS!!

Leave Forms & Training Next Week

Hi all!

TRAININGS NEXT WEEK
Trainings next week are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It is not yet confirmed if there will be Saturday training. We will update you guys again.

Monday's training starts at 3.30pm. Lessons will carry on simultaneously. So for those who don't have lessons at 3pm or who take lessons at all, please be punctual and go to second level classrooms in E block as usual.

LEAVE FORMS
Mr Quek has updated all of us on the leave form system and the SOP again yesterday. For those who weren't here and basically for everyone, I would like to reinforce matters regarding the leave form system again:

1) SOP:
-Get forms (2 each time)
-Ask SLs to sign
-Ask Mr Ho/Mr Quek to sign
-Submit one copy to Mr Quek/ Mr Ho and one to me.

2) I realised that I have been receiving many leave forms without Mr Ho/Mr Quek's endorsement. Please not that from now on, all leave forms without proper endorsement by the teachers-in-charge would NOT be accepted.

3) It is also up to you guys to submit your leave forms to me. I would not be going after you for your leave forms or excuse letters because there would be much hassle involved. I would accept them if they are late, but not if they are too late (like 1 month later or beyond). Leave forms submitted later than that time period, I would process them and mark your attendance as valid at my own discretion. However, if you do not submit your leave forms to account for your absence, your attendance would be marked as absent without valid reason.

Thus, it would be best if you can submit your leave forms before your actual leave. For those who've been doing that all this while, thank you very much but for those who haven't hope that you guys can start doing it! That would save quite some trouble on my part.

Jiayou for trainings next week! We only have approximately one week left before our suntec performance!
