Spring Cleaning!

Hello members!

We will be having a cleaning session for our orchestra rooms (A240- A242) next Saturday. Your sectional leaders will inform you more on the details. Here are some brief information:

Date: 5 April 2008 (Saturday) 

Venue: Orchestra room

Thank you very much! ^_^

Club Crawl 08

Hi members,

As usual, we will be performing during Club Crawl 2008. Please refer to the schedule below for more information.

Date: April 17 - 18 (Thursday and Friday)
Time: 11am - 1pm
Excuse letters will be provided

Members, please try to participate in this important event unless you have really valid reasons. Please do not treat this event as an ordinary performance, the future of our orchestra would depend on this performance. Our aim is to attract more people to our club.

I believe all Nypco members would wish that we can attract more members, however, if the participation level is poor, there is no way that we will be able to produce quality music to attract new members to our club.

Thus Nypco members, treat this event as a chance for you to learn more things and have fun.

Do participate actively!

Unity is power! ^_^

Thank You - Annual Concert 2008

Hi My Fellow Members,

Thank You for all the hard work put in for this Annual Concert 2008 - Musical Odyssey Of Love. It's been quite a hectic period that we have gone through, but I'm glad everyone did it!!

Peishi and I were really grateful for all your support and cooperation given during the rehearsals and practices, as well as the alumni who have returned to practice. This is part of the reason why this concert is a success. Of course another part was everyone's effort and the conductor's guidances. I'm glad we put up a good show.

We will be having more events in the future. Everyone take a well-deserve good rest now and work hard for ur studies before we are reunite again to form an even stronger orchestra then before (=

Till then, please take care!! =D

Thanks!! Everyone

Hi fellow members,

THANK YOU for participating in the CO Xmas Gift Exchange Party on Saturday!! (= i believe many of you had an enjoyable time.

Thanks!! for those who put in effort in making this event a successful one, especially the year 1's who contributed much of their time and effort in the planning!!
_________________________________

I have another serious matter which i want to remind all members:

Please do turn up for both sectional and combined practices for the subsequent days. It is very important that we have good attendance rate so that we can practice together. Unless those who have exception who are on attachment or sick. It is also crucial that we all put in effort in doing our part well such that we can put up a commendable performance for all to see. We NEED to have 100% attendance rate from all of us. Looking at the current situation, we are BELOW satisfactory.

Mr Chiang has put in his effort into this Orchestra, the only part that we can contribute is by doing well in each of our own part. Please motivate each other to come for practices. Don't we all want to put up a good performance so that we can have better opportunities in the future? Like going overseas.

The subsequent finalized repertoire will be out, and schedule will also be out soon. Please check your own timing against the schedule and plan your timing properly (=

Please Please do turn up, my sincere PLEASE to all of you.

Thank You!

Regards,
PeiShi & Joanne
