Hello :D

As all of you should know,
For CCA FAIR 2010, this is what we have to do:

Souvenirs


Some ideas that the seniors gave us:
  1. Lollipops with aluminum foil turned into quaver notes
  2. Pencils with red/blue ribbons
We will get the materials ourselves, so no worries. :D
As of now, we have decided to hold our "souvenir making sessions" on next Tuesday (8 Dec) and Thursday (10 Dec), from 1-4pm. The rooms may not be open, so we will gather at the canteen.
If we need more time, we would probably hold the next sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

We're supposed to make 400 souvenirs, but we can do different things, eg. 200 lollipops and 200 ribbons, just the poll to review, and please give your ideas under 'others' :D

Posters
Opening of the band room during the holidays
The band room will be opened from 10am next Monday, 7 Dec. Please message Grace if you are coming on that day.

Other Matters:

I know that this has been going on for very veryyyyy longgg.
The most number of votes are to the 'Saxophones' design. However, the front(Superman logo) is not very appropriate as we might be infringing the copyright rights and some say it's not original. Thus, we can accept the back, without the instrument picture (too difficult), but not the front.
As a result, the second most number of votes for the front design is to (T)Jia Yi's 'Grey Badge Edition' design, which is yet simple and nice. After we make some changes to the design, if it's to everyone's liking, we could print it soon.
Besides that, we would give the shirts to our SCs too, but we can't include their name in our squad because we won't be having them as our SCs forever, right?
However, we can have another shirt sometime later, depending on the new leaders.
As for the colour, I guess white would be good as we can wear it for band. Also, it matches with the pinafore.
Until the time we confirm it, we will inform all of you.

As we know ourselves, we all tend to think: the holidays are meant for relaxing.. but if we don't practise and let our standards fall, it's going to be hard picking up what we have learnt over this year. Let's set aside some time to practise every day. If we can spend hours having fun, it's not that difficult afterall. Joining band is a commitment. It's not just attending band practices. All our talents increase in the using, and the every faculty, both good and bad, strengthen by exercise. Let's think of how our seniors achieved the 'Gold with Honours' title. We cannot be selfish to be the ones pulling the band down.
Everything happens for a reason. We learn how to let go when people change. Things go wrong so that we can appreciate them when they're right. Sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can fall together. If life was that easy, where would all the adventures go? Despite all the hardships, hang in there. You never know what you're going to get.

Anyway, it's all up to ourselves.
Last reminder: the road to success is not a path you find but a trail you blaze.

Hang in there :D

-Thanks
Dorcas :D
