Hi ensemble,

As most of you already know, CCA will be cut down to once a week, taking place from this week onwards until further notice.
Therefore practices will always be on Wednesdays and practices on Friday will be CANCELLED. This is in view of our upcoming examinations and the reduced time in CCA is meant for you to spend more time studying and preparing yourself for promos. Therefore please plan your time wisely and study hard! :)
Practices on Wednesdays will now always start at 2.30pm till about 6.30pm, depending on Mr Choo. Also please remember to bring your scores and you are advised to get a file to slot them in as there will be more to come.

To those with irregular attendance, please do come for practice from now onwards as we will be learning Christmas songs for our Christmas CIP which we plan to have on tentatively the second week of December therefore please do keep that week free. Also as now practice is only once a week, we would need as much practice as we can get, to be prepared for our Christmas CIP. Further details on the Christmas CIP will be confirmed at a later date.
Also, CCA will stand down soon in view of preparation for promos and it will only resume after PW and A level Mother Tongue Paper which will be a long way and thus I hope you'll see the need for why we will need as much practice as we can if we still wish for a Christmas CIP.

After listening to your feedback, we decided that you all could leave your guitars in the guitar room on Wednesdays after practice. However, you cannot leave your guitar in school over the weekend and would have to bring it home on Fridays. Also, you cannot leave your guitars in school during competition/concert periods as everyone would definitely need additional practice. Those who are aware that they are lagging behind would also be highly encouraged to bring their guitar home after every practice. However since there is only practice once a week now, i guess this wouldn't apply to this term.
Also, sections will be allocated as soon as possible, hopefully by this week or lastest by next week.

Any other comments please feel free to approach Queenie or I as your feedback are greatly appreciated. We thank you for your understanding and hope to see more of you for practices.
All the best for your revisions!

Regards
Christine
