Guzheng outing
Hi,
The geocities account got deactivated already, so we'll switch back here ok?
I'm suggesting, we don't have to stick to the Saturday practice for December. Many of you are not free on Saturday too. Perhaps we should try to suit Shuhui's schedule.
We could have one day, go for guzheng practice, then come out to have a meal and we can discuss what to do with the juniors. I'll ask Ms Lim again if anybody wants to join us. Can make it a guzheng outing too.
One possible schedule for the guzheng outing could be:
11-1pm: Guzheng practice at ZHSS
1-2pm: Lunch
after lunch: Some activities. For fun!
Can you tell me what are the days you prefer, what are the days you are not free? I think we can have practices once a week in December. I wish to fix the dates for the entire month asap so that you all can free up the required time slot.
Thanks!
New site
If you're still visiting here.. just to inform u that we have a new site! specially created by our "IT manager (?)" shu ting! heh go visit this link http://geocities.com/gzalumni/
refer there for all future updates and announcements.
meeting with alumni
yah the zhss alumni wanna meet all of us. yah since all of us are in the comm.
anyway..details as follow:
Date: 24 Sept, Sunday
Venue: ZhSs auditorium
Time: meet outside the audi at 1.30pm
see ya there...
Election
hey people.. sorry for the late update... i'm so tired and tied up with other stuff
anyway.. the election results:
The IT manager is not a very official post that's why it's put like that.
Anyway, there are still available posts for the juniors. namely the Welfare Rep and Quarter master. Juniors can run for these posts after you join.
so.. i'll be passing this blog over to shuting when i'm free. leave it to her for the photos and other stuff. i don't know how to do that lor. ahh i am quite an IT idiot yah. don't blame me.
yup we had our first performance alr! stay bonded always :)
ZHSS performance
jus a quick update and reminder for the performance.
Meet at ZHSS
Time: 2pm (try not to be late)
Venue: Wait outside general office
Attire: White collar short sleeve shirt/blouse, black Long pants/skirt, black covered shoes.why try not to be late? cos we'll be going to carry the guzheng together from the place. and the aunty who's holding the key will be there waiting for us to finish collecting our guzheng. means we have to carry everything one shot. no such thing u come later then go there and take again. yup it's very inconvenient. so, make it a point to be punctual for future practices too.
anyway if u have a digi cam, u may wanna bring it cos Yu Hui wan some photos to applaud at. haha.
anyway.. right after the performance, the Elections is coming up. all the posts shall be given to people from the 2004 batch as the juniors are only coming in after their exams and we need the committe to function asap. Juniors don't be upset if you want a post but haven't get it. because we'll be stepping down sooner or later and we'll be passing the baton down. not occupying the posts forever.
More details of the elections will be up soon.
Officially start!
OK everything is finalized now.
First session of Guzheng alumni will start on
8 sept, Sat. and 15 sept is the performance. so we only have one session of practice before the performance. Very sorry for this but we all have to work harder for the performance already.
We will be playing 彝族舞曲 for the performance. Please practise before you come for the practice on 8 sept. i understand that many of us haven't touched guzheng for a long time. but just try your best and practise hard in the limited time left. For the performanance, maybe a small group will suffice so that it's easier to coordinate.
We need at least 6 people for the performance. at least 2 people from each sections. If the need arises, we may need to reshuffle people for the 3 sections.
For the first practice session on 8 Sept, it will probably be a longer session. because it's the one and ONLY practice b4 the performance. Maybe i will request
2pm to 6pm. but in future, practice will be 4pm-6pm every other saturday. Extremely light committment. Just 4 hours a month.
I will be meeting the alumni chairperson and zhss principal to discuss some admin matters. so on the first practice, we need to assign ourselves to each guzheng. Every guzheng has a number and i will need to create a list of who is assigned to which guzheng. We are responsible for the well-being of the guzhengs.
Expect another sms to inform you about the exact details of the first practice. Tentatively,
Date: 8 Sept 2007, Sat
Time: 2pm-6pm
Venue: ZHSS (to be confirmed)
latest update
hi people.. most of you should have received one or more of my smses. But for the benefit of those who didn't i shall repeat it here.
ZHSS alumni finally gave me a nod, zhss venue for sat evening! however, they will need to pay extra for security guard. that's why i suggested sat morning to all of you.
Apparently, sat evening is a better choice because most of you have something on in the morning.
So, i will tentatively fix the practice time as: Sat 6pm-8pm, once every two weeks. In the event that we are preparing for a performance, we will increase the frequency of practice to once a week.
I understand that all of us are very busy now. many of us are in university now and some of you are preparing for prelims and A levels. but i really hope you people will spare the few hours of your time once every two week. this is not a very heavy commitment, but i think it is enough to keep the spirit going :)
for those of you preparing for A levels, you may join us after the exam.
Many of you are hesitant about joining cos you haven't been playing guzheng for a long time. please rest assured that many of us here are not playing guzheng in JC too. me included. So i will be going slow at first. don't have to worry that you can't catch up.
Lastly, 15 sept is the school aniversary. So ZHSS alumni requests an item from us. I will hope to make up a small group item for this event. Update you all about the choice of song soon. Any suggestions feel free to sms me at 92281056 or leave a comment here.
Many thanks to those who have replied to my sms. sorry that i haven't been replying cos i need to look at more people's response before i make a decision and inform you all. so do check this blog regularly too.
