Hi all!
The EXCO has just started the relay to ask (those who will be going for the chalet) who will be meeting at Tampines MRT at 2.30pm on Monday. If you have not received the message yet, don't worry cos I think the relay's in progress. If you still haven't received it by tonight, please sms me (Tricia) to tell me whether you would be meeting us there or going to Aloha Changi by yourself.
Here are some important information for all who're going for guitar chalet (both those who're staying over and coming only in the day/night but not staying over)
1) Be at Tampines MRT by 2.30pm, for those who do not know how to get to Aloha Changi. All of us (including the subcomm) will be meeting at that time too. We'll all check in at 3pm, cos the earliest check-in time is 3pm. So for the rest who're coming later, you can reach there anytime after that!
2) Keep the receipts of the stuff that you have helped to buy for the chalet. Need to use them to claim back your $ during the chalet.
3) Bring music/movies/portable speakers if you have. Can someone who has a portable vcd/dvd/cd player please please please bring theirs along? Thanks alot, we're desperate cos no one in the subcomm has it and I think we'll all be quite bored if there's no main source of entertainment. There's a tv at the chalet but we're not sure if they have DVD/VCD players.
4) Bring at least $15 to pay for the booking of the chalet. (VERY VERY IMPORTANT!)
There'll be more updates, so PLEASE CHECK THIS BLOG REGULARLY OVER THE NEXT 2 DAYS (including today, of course).
Also, below is the list of people who're staying over for the chalet/coming in the day. Please inform me if there are any discrepancies.

Chalet details (just in case you forgot)
I hope you read this before you leave for the chalet (that means I'm assuming you check the blog regularly).
If you don't know yet, the chalet is ALOHA CHANGI CHALET K. You can take 29 from Tampines MRT if I'm not wrong, and go to netheravon road where Aloha Changi is. If you meet in groups and are afraid of getting lost, you can call someone from the subcomm to fetch you or something too. The chalet subcomm consists of Tricia, Kanzy, Sheena, Zhiying, Jiayi, Huanting and Melissa. If you really don't know any of their numbers then just contact anyone from the exco...According to the relay system, you would have the number of at least one exco member.
Also, if anyone has a mahjong set/any other games, bring it!
Come at around...3 pm? And don't forget your food and money, and clothes if you're staying over.
I'll be looking forward to seeing everyone on monday. Bye!

Size of each section
In case some of you may be wondering how our conductor wants the players to be distributed, this is how it would be done:
For Salut d'amour, all the parts except for Guitarron must be almost equal in strength because each part takes turns playing the melody. Guitar 1 part can be a bit stronger. It doesn't mean that each group must have equal number of players. A strong player may be better than 3 weak players combined.
For La Chanson, the 1st and 2nd parts should be equal in strength. For the chords, as long as there are 4 or 5 steady chord players it should be enough.
While the number of prime players limit the size of the whole ensemble, it would not be appropriate to omit players who have both attended most practices and practiced the scores conscientiously over the 2-3 weeks of break (refer to Jia Jun's post below for details). Consequently, there would be a standard for audition; instead of limiting to 20 players which was decided previously.
Lastly, in the words of our conductor Ms Wong, "The audition criteria is quite obvious. Must can play the music, can memorize and attend most if not all practices. "
Personally, i do not think its possible to memorize the scores by late January, but dynamics is a must. All the best!
