Here are important instructions to follow before you come for prac on Wednesday. Remember if everyone takes responsibility and do what is told (be punctual etc), we can all get things done really faster.
For the Main Ensemble:
IMPT ANNOUNCEMENT: You do not need to bring your performing attire on Wed. We have decided not to do a full-dress to save time. However, please bring $4 for your lunch on the concert day itself.
Before you come on Wednesday, please ensure you have done the following:
1. Arrange your scores in a black file, according to this arrangement:
(We'll be conducting a file check)
El Bimbo (TOP OF THE FILE)
Summer Breeze
YOM
Gavotte
Baby Elephant
Tango Pot (for SLs)
Blue Moon
CHFIL
Malaguena
Tea for Two
Sleepers' Awake (BOTTOM)
2. Please return all unsold tickets or payment for tickets to Shanen before dismissal on Wednesday.
INSTRUCTIONS for Wednesday:
- You will be receiving an UPDATED concert sequence and seating plan (pls ensure that it is filed in your file by Friday)
- You are to collect your guitars, and bring the music stands, scores and whatever you need to the Auditorium. Everyone should be seated on stage by 3pm in the audi. Means you have to GET READY by 2.45pm, so that you can move to the audi and be seated by 3pm.
- By the end of wednesday's prac, you should have discussed with the person sitting beside you on whose file to use on the actual concert, etc.
- If you have NAPFA on Wednesday, please inform your SLs and Wanzhen.
- All small group players, please ensure that you are FULLY prepared for concert, I don't want any time wasted on correcting mistakes, but rather it's for you to get familiar with the environment and sound check.
- Combo Bands and Reminisce Romance, please note that you guys have to come even earlier on Wednesday to shift the drumsets, electric guitars, piano to the audi. You are to ensure that the instruments that you need are present!
J1s,
please note the following.
1) Attire check has been postponed to Tuesday, anytime from 3-6pm in the guitar room. Just pop by and let me see your shoes, tie, full black top and pants, and you can go after that! :)
2) Please ensure that you bring a black file that contains your Blue Moon, Can't help falling in love scores. I will do a file check on Wednesday.
3) Remember, you are to report to the guitar room at 3pm on Wednesday for practice. Do not go to the classrooms.
4) You are to return all unsold tickets to Shanen on Wednesday, and also, payment of those tickets that you have sold.
5) Practice on Wednesday is going to end very late, latest 8pm for you. Please try to co-operate with us, so that if everyone moves faster, listens and all, we can all end earlier.
6) Please make the effort to practise CHFIL and Blue Moon before you turn up for practice. If you have any queries, please feel free to come early to the guitar room on Wed morning before assembly and approach the SLs.
7) You will receive your seating plan and an UPDATED concert sequence on Wednesday.
8) I expect full attendance for the whole of next week, if you're not coming, you are to inform us in advance.
9) People who are involved in council commitments, I would like you to consider whether you want to play for the concert, or to be involved in the administrative duties of the concert instead as I've noticed you haven't been around for practices, so I'm not sure if you're able to catch up. These people, please let me know asap.
10) Please bring your own tuners and MUSIC STANDS next week as we do not have enough to cater to everyone! Label your music stands please, to avoid any confusion!
Thank you, I hope everyone co-operates and really treat the remaining rehearsals seriously, after all, we rehearse to present the best. And we're TPGE, so we expect the best, and nothing less! :)
ANGELYN.
