Pardon for gatecrashing into the blog....I thought I would like to pen down my thoughts on Open day.
This year's Open Day, unlike the previous yrs, is more impt as there will only be one intake in 2009. Therefore, recruitment starts now. Like all other recruitment, there will be a massive tussle for membership with other CCAs and incoming students are still undecisive on their CCAs and all. My advise is not to overpromise to the newbies. Please do not promise them an SYF slot or once a week training with total rest during June holiday and all as this will create unhappiness among members who join because of the promises made to them.
NJC Angklung is indeed blessed as we do not faced problems with members wanting to get out or resigned or felt cheated and all as the Angklungnites recruit by spreading the joy of playing angklung, the camaraderie formed, the chance to excel and the chance to be a part of a great family known as the NJC Angklung. Sometimes, hard selling doesn't work but most importantly, you must sell your CCA. Some may not heard of Angklung yet alone NJC Angklung, thus, thats where your role is paramount. Everyone must put in their very best in ensuring that the good word of NJC Angklung is being heard by every single newbies that walk into the gate of NJC. Let nobody walk by you without ever knowing or hearing about NJC ANgklung. If you can do that, the numbers will start rolling in. ( doyou guys recruit the Sec1s?)
In NJC Angklung, everyone matters and everyone is a leader. Once an Angklungnite, always an angklungnite, thus this blog was written. Many great students had walked the path as an Angklungnites and be proud that you will be among those too.
For the JC 1s, I wish you all the best in the recruitment and your upcoming performance.And most importantly, in your PW OP thats coming up soon too.
For the JC 2s, I wish you strength as you faced one of the toughest years in your education life..trust me..maybe the seniors can vouch for this too, that, after the A levels, University is like a stroll in the park .
