The title is a little belated but my wishes are sincere. Ok...just a little crap...
I think I should post something after my 2 fellow ex-Saints (or actually Saints, because once a Saint, always a Saint) posted some motivational stuff here.
I'm not as motivational as them, and it is something I have to improve on.
We have an exciting year lined up for us. (Actually every year is exciting but 2007 must be more exciting than 2006.)
Firstly, we have to seek new blood to carry on the legacy. We hope to find among the JC1s and IP1s or whoever joins Angklung passionate and motivated people to lead Angklung into 2008. Hence Orientation is very important. Evi and her gang has a huge task. I'm eagerly awaiting to see their proposal. Xuesi told me that they should be handing in on Wednesday. I actually urged Sheila to hand in earlier today.
I would prefer to have more new members than the present seniors. Though quality is better than quantity, but the more the merrier.
Secondly, this is SYF year. Our rehearsal time slot at the Singapore Conference Hall is 24th March 8.45am. So you people have to reach school early that day to prepare. Hope this will not scare new members away.
The central judging date is not out yet but it should be in late April. So please practice hard for it! Our target is Gold with Honours! Must aim high so that if we miss we still win Gold.
Thirdly, we have Angklung enrichment as one of our goals is to raise the level of music appreciation among all beings in NJC.
And then maybe we have Tianjin exchange or any interesting programmes you people can come up with.
Lastly, I have an announcement to make.
To spare Mr Fuad and me some work at the end of the year and to facilitate you writing your statements for the School Graduating Certificate (announced during Civics today), can you all log into KM and start updating your profiles regarding Angklung and then get Mr Fuad or me to evaluate as soon as possible? The lastest you people should finish updating regarding Angklung is after SYF (in June). Thank you as end of the year I'm afraid we are all very busy so better do now.
