12th July Announcement
Dearest members & freshies,
Let me first give the freshies a warm welcome into the big family! The journey, which you will embark here in the Chinese Orchestra, will be a fun filled and enriching one. It’s been almost a month since Club Crawl and I hope you have enjoyed yourselves so far.
We have recently just been promoted to a Star CCA, and we are in the process of planning BBQs, orphanage performances and concerts, making t-shirts, buying more instruments, organizing the annual camp and hopefully go overseas.
· BBQ – The BBQ will be on 6th Aug at Pasir Ris Park (near Downtown East).
· T-shirt – We are getting samples from tailors and they will be ready in 2 months.
· Orphanage performances – Tentatively set in October for all freshies to perform
· Annual Camp – More fun and games in November
Things to note:
· Updates will be on the blog (http://www.nypco.blogspot.com) every Wednesday and also on the Notice Board.
· $8 Club fund to be paid by 15th July. It will be used to fund the BBQ.
· Always assume that practice is on unless you are told it is cancelled.
· No footwear allowed at the CO room A240 at all times.
· Return all tuners to your sectional leader, move back the chairs and stands, throw away your food/litter after practice.
· The committee is currently looking for enthusiastic members who can help and lead others in various tasks. Feel free to approach any of the 3 Presidents, committee members or your sectional leader if you wish to help.

Cello/Bass Notices
Here's another long winded post from me again...
Cello/bass practices will go on as per normal next Monday the practice times are as follows
- 6.30 to 8.30 for Juniors, and
- 8.30 to 9.30 for seniors/those who have experience
* experienced members need not attend the 6.30 session. But if you want to, go ahead!
Should you wish to have your own self practice, the Chinese orchestra is open everyday on weekdays from 6 PM onwards! But do avoid Wednesdays and Thursdays , as you will most probably end up practising in the corridor due to the shortage of rooms.
FRET NOT!!!
The best times for your own self practice are,
Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays (mornings, check out with the President and vice presidents for more info)
Once again, Thank you very much for your kind attention and please remember to check out this blog for your regular updates! :)
