(WARNING : i just realise the post is v. long -.- slowly read ba but do read everything though. yupp thx. paiseh)
Hi everyone (: hope you guys are having a great holiday.
Anyway, just some updates regarding the things that i've alr talked abt during trainings.
First, this is a poster of the 7th international guitar festival. try to join, 60% subsidy provided by national arts council. If you're interested call me or wht. cant really rmb all the details (esp the monetary ones =/ off my mind, but i think a day's seminar is 120, 2 days 220 and 3 days dno wht. masterclass observer think is 10bucks? or smthing lidat. competition is 45, concert and recital depends on ur cat, ranging from 20 - 40 or smthing lidat. yupp)
So if you're interested you just uh. pay in full first, get the receipt and pass to alicia to claim ur 60%. applies for both the festival and the competition so in case any of you joined the competition take note that it can be claimed too. yupp :D
Mock audtition was carried out last training. so for those who came you shd roughly noe how it wld be. not the toughest of auditions so dun get too stress up k :D anw. Do take note tht the audition is crucial. First audition is on the 10th. 2nd audition for those who failed and who cant make it when sch reopen. if u cant make it for both come and find me or else i'll just take it that you don't wan to join guitar next yr.
Tuners,
For those who wants to purchase a tuner at $15 let any of the exco members know. we're buying in bulk accessories and guitar for our next year batch so if u wan to buy anything u can buy w us? cos it'll be much cheaper. ok i've sidetracked, but anyway,
its a clip on tuner, with a mic fn too so can be used in ur conventional way, has led display that turns red when wrong pitch and green when correct, can change tuning fom A=435 to 445 i think, main think is can be changed la. can tune in diff keys. and uh. is super cheap. so ya if u wan 1 let us know asap.
And for other things too. like guitar. there are already a few people buying guitars together with us le so ya xD join in the fun la. (if ur parents wont kill u that is)
other things u may want to buy include strings etc.
Attendance.
probably the worst thing to talk abt but also the most impt. so lyk wht i've said during training, but with some clarification. and this 1 will hold and its in black and white so yupp. when in doubt come to refer to this.
only 11 person will not hit the 80% mark if we only take term 3,4 + holiday training. so we're taking that. as for the 11 person, most of them they reallyreally don't appear at all and you wont even know them. so we really got no choice cos the sch needs 80% attendance.
HOWEVER, do take note that the 11person is calculated base on the fact that u attended ALL holiday trainings. so if u happily pon-ed (which quite alot seemed to O.o) most of the training, im not sure whether i'll be still 11. this is really the best that we can do alr. we've quarrelled/fight/poked/strangled/discussed/negotiated with each other for a supppper long time so ya. i really really think this is the max we can go alr. so try not to pon training alrite, its ur cca after all.
2nd thing. and the thing that needs to be clarified. What is considered as a valid excuse.
Rmb me saying that everything is considered as a valid excuse? that was said with the assumption that plain weird O.o ideas like pon training purposely isnt even within the scope of discussion. so let me clarify myself.
Activities such as School activity, Chalet, Family holiday, work attachment will be considered as valid excuse. for holiday trainings at least which seem to have alot of controversy over it. During normal training nothing shd take priority over ur cca unless u have got valid excuse lyk having make-up lesson etc. when in doubt go to cheryl.
BUT. theres a catch to it. rmb i also said that u must find out wht we did and learn them by the next training? yupp. so after having ur valid excuse (yayye). you're suppose to 1) find out wht u missed. 2) learn them. 3) find me for ur "mini audition"
so the whole process will go like that
1) Find cheryl at least 1 week in advance if you know that you're gonna miss training for a valid excuse with evidance and stuff. Cheryl will note down the relevant details after verifying it.
2) Find out for urself wht u missed, don't expect MIs to give u private 1-on-1 tuition, its not in their job scope but if they're nice enuff. ohwells. so you're probably get like a summarize version of wht u nid to do and everything go do it urself.
3) Find me latest 1 week after (i.e. the next training when you're suppose to come back). arrange a time for ur mini audition to check that you've learnt all that you're suppose to learn.
4) If you pass, i'll let cheryl noe. den she'll cancel out those training (i.e not to be counted)
so,
scenario 1 : if u pass, training not counted.
scenario 2: if u fail, i'll let cheryl noe, taken as didnt come for training.
scenario 3: didnt tell cheryl in time, counted as miss training
scenario 4: told cheryl but didnt find me 1 week after, i wont tell cheryl anything and after 1 week she'll still take it as missed training
yupp. so pls be responsible in doing wht you're suppose to if u have to miss training. thx :D
