**EDITED (5/9) : Annoucements on 3/9 (if you've missed it) + some additional stuffs

1) First thing first..
Girls who have not taken their measurements, please meet us coming sat, 8th sept, AMK bus interchange (AMKhub), near bus 166 queue, 10.30am. Please be punctual. The girls who will be going at this time are: Shi Pei, Karen, Emily(TBC), Li Dan, Ping Ding

If you can't make it for in the morning, please meet us at 1.30pm, Newton's mrt control station.
Girls going: Cai Yun, (TBC)

The following girls who have not taken your measurements, please contact myself, xiu hui or pauline asap to confirm which slot you can make it: Suee, Winnie, Li Fen, Fazilah, Joyce, Htoo Mon, Jamuna

If you can't make it on either slots, we'll arrange another slot for you again. But as we've said before, we need to speed things up so that the tailor can finish up our gown on time by oct.

Also, please pay xiu hui your gown money!

2) Secondly, combined practices shall be twice a week starting next week
- mon & thurs, 7pm - *10pm

I've heard from some of you and understand that you've work. I know it's tiring, but I hope all of you bear in mind that we've told you beforehand that practices will be twice a week. So, I hope to stress here that please make the effort to turn up for as much practice you can when you can make it. Please bear in mind that by making this efforts to turn up (whether a not you'll be late due to work or lessons - doesn't matter), it affects our progress and big big reminder that concerts is only TWO months away. (We only have 2-3 pracs per week and think about memorising songs, choreography, song shaping - it's a lot of work to do) So try to spare a thought for your poor comm members alright? =) We don't want to have a head of white hair during concert!

If nurses having morning shift from 8 til 4 can make it, I don't see why you can't. If you've early work the next day, tell us before hand and we'll allow you to leave early. I know some of you stayed really far from school.. I really appreciate you guys for turning up for practice. I know practices are so late at night, but I seek your kind understanding for that and bear with it k? We'll organise a big feast after concert k! But, if you are facing problems at any point in time, please do not hestitate to look up any of the comm members. We'll definitely try our best to help you.

Also, please please don't give us 'heart attacks' by replying our msg only last minute. We do not entertain last minute replies. If you know you'll be late or not coming, inform us early. If you're having sore throat, muscle ache or whatever - still make the effort to come.. you can learn songs with your ears right?

I hope you guys understand that we've change fri night's prac to thursday so that more pple can attend. Attendance requirements shall still be 80% at least ( we don't care whether you late a not - only applicable if you've attachment or work or lesson) and SLs shall constantly monitor your progress and performance during prac silently. If you can't attend prac due to oversea trip or outside camp - that is still 'forgivable', but still, we shall look at your performance to decide you should perform a not.

3) Concert Camp: 1st -3rd Oct
Compulsory camp. If you have something on, make arrangements please or you'll be missing out a lot of stuff. An overnight camp. More details when oct looms. Inform us early if you have problems attending the full camp.


4) Sectionals (Very impt)
For the first three-four weeks of sept, I'll have sectionals that'll be held in either mon/wed/thurs noon due to SHS students who are having attachment. The purpose on this is to brush up your parts quickly so that mr ong can quickly start on shaping and we can do choreography. Sectionals are drawn out based on the nurse's attachment schedule - so nurses, please try to attend. Slots will vary for different sections but I've tried to make most of the slots fall in the same day as practice.

Heya guys =)

Just a reminder that there'll be no practice starting from next week due to exams. The first practice after exams will be 3rd September, Monday, 7.30pm @ e309.

For juniors (girls) who's helping out in concert as sub-committee for wardrobe, please do not forget to turn up this Sat, 11 August, 12pm @ AMK MRT control station. We'll be heading down to thomson road to select the cloth for our choir gowns. As for the rest, you are very much welcome to join us this weekend, including guys (cos some guy seniors will be coming too). Please bring extra cash cos we will be having lunch before heading to the place. Haha.. maybe dinner/outing after that.. so please inform us if you wanna come!

As I've mentioned before during announcements, practices will be twice a week (Mondays and Fridays) starting from the month of september til concert in november. And most importantly, we'll be taking attendance really seriously this time - if anyone fails to fulfil the 80% attendance, the ve comm has the right to strike your name off concert performance. However, if you had valid reasons - taking into account that you've learnt your parts well and taken note of what you've missed, we'll still allow you to perform.

I hope to see that each and everyone of you exercise responsibility. Always respond to our messages. If you missed one of our practices, find out what you've missed. Like to emphasize that we aren't a cca that allows you to come-and-go-as-you-like. If that's your mind-set, kindly change it or we'll have to ask you to leave.

Also, I do not tolerate members who go missing for a long time without responding to none of our msgs. If you wish to quit, simply call us straight and say so. Please do not beat around the bush and come up with excuses one after that other - Stop wasting yours and our time & efforts.

Also, concert camp will be on 1st - 3rd October. (Yup, it's an overnight camp) Please mark it down on your calendars and this is a compulsory one cos we'll be doing drilling of concert pieces plus choreography!

Other activities lined up for you this year (To be confirmed):
- community service cum x'mas carolling
- lunchtime concert
- outings!

That's all. Good luck to all for semestral exams! =)
