HELLO!
It's finally the holidays! Though it does not seem much like a holiday since we have;
a. homework
b. practice
c. carnival
d. camp
e. other random activities
Never mind that, though. Hopefully, it'll all be over and December will be free for everyone! :D
If you put in the effort and the like to finish up all those things. Then really, free as a bird.
Just some details in case there are those few members who are a little out of the loop!

30th November 2010 (Tuesday), 9am - 12pm; Music Room [Practice]
If you miss any practices, do tell your SLs! Call them or text them before practice starts so that they know why you will be absent. And please bring your letter/MC the next practice. :)
Even though it's the holidays, we still need to wear our school uniform to school, so please don't show up in your choir t-shirt or PE attire, etc without your pinafore. Otherwise you'll be sent home to change and denied entry into school. -__-
Please hand in your consent form and camp money ($20) to Mrs. Goh by 16th November! If you're only showing up for camp on only selected dates, do tell Mrs. Goh as well. You need not pay for the full amount of the camp but you have to tell her so that she can give you the correct amount and so that the SLs won't be going, "WHERE'S XXX?!" on the day when you're like... in another country... or something. Yeah.
Do give all your allergies, food requirement, etc details to your SLs. :)
If you don't, there can be no prevention if something awful happens during camp.
Then no one will be able to enjoy camp! D:
*Very important! Obviously, when your SLs sends you messages or calls you concerning choir... and they are asking you questions or giving you information, it's only logical and polite to REPLY. It's very crucial for the SLs to collate reply, it's an acknowledgement; to know that you understand.
It's quite idiotic if I walk up to you and go 'Hey, are you going to the carnival?', and then you just stare at me, smile and walk away when you should have said, 'Oh, no, I have plans. Have fun though!'
THEREFORE... you should reply. Even if it's just a simple 'Okay.'
Because when something happens and one of you goes, "Well, I didn't know that we had to blahblahblah."
It's not the SLs fault when the situation was that they sent the memo out and no one response. In a situation like that, we can only ASSUME that everyone gets the message.
Won't assuming get one killed? Why, yes! But really, then only thing we can do is to assume since no one will reply. You never know if people get the information or not. Unless of course, you would prefer we spam your inbox, I'm sure both sides won't enjoy it.
Okay, the point is, REPLY AND PICK UP YOUR PHONE.
The hard life of an SL when you call a member to tell them something, they see you on Caller ID, freak out and hang up then ignore your later calls as well.
Ms. Winter is leaving KC on the 20th, and since she was one of our teachers-in-charge, we should do something nice for her. As such, we encourage all members to write a short message, gift or whatever to Ms. Winter and then give them to your SL on 16th November. We will put it together and it'll be awesomely awesome.
For the carnival, we need to change our choir notice board. We're not artistic geniuses who can crap out designs while planning camp and other choir situations, so we need people who can! Your help will be appreciated! Just little doodles or sketches on what you would like the choir board to look like. Give them to your SLs by 18th November if you do have any designs or ideas. Colour schemes too...
Oookay, that's about all my sleep-deprived brain can dish out now.
Thank you! Enjoy your weekend! :)
