In the months up to August, there are 4 main projects for the ensemble. They are:
1) IRIR Competition. The audition date will be in early to mid July, on one of the early afternoons. Attire wise I will discuss with the exco (I propose black lycra, $23 per pair @ Giodarno and sarong). Songs will be Gunung Payung and Zapin. Seniors are welcomed to participate. However, at least 10% of the performers must be from a different enthic group. IRIR mah...
2) Enrichment for Taiwan visitors on 29th July (I think). Simple activity, just teach them some history, a song or two and basic playing techniques. Copy and paste from previous years...
3) National Day performance at Esplanade concourse on 8th August evening time, 2 sessions 30 minutes each. Playing national songs like Chan Mali Chan, Singapura etc. Seniors are welcomed to join, however must inform me earlier as I need to submit names for passes in mid July. For your information, the ensemble performs annually at the Esplanade concourse. You can take the opportunity to go on dates after the performance. Good idea right?
4) Senior farewell. This is the first major task for the new exco. I have not yet decided on a date, probably after National Day, a simple buffet in school as the Prelims are in September.
Have a good break. (:
PS: The elite 10 attending the symposium please turn up on time in FULL GREY on Monday. The guys who are supposed to help me bring angklungs in the morning please appear at 7.10am outside angklung room. Also please ensure that you have the costumes (shirt and pants for guys, black lycra top and sarong for girls) on Tuesday. From morning to evening you can be in half grey, during concert then change. Thank you.
