Change of Erhu Sectional Practice Timing

二胡组的成员请注意以下事列：

原本拟定在下星期一的小组排练已从原本的

一点到四点

改成早晨

九点半到一点半

这个更改是张老师提出的要求。
我会在约七点半时开华乐室，以供任何想提早练习的成员能来练习。
成员们请在星期一之前把达姆达姆练熟，尤其是国中二年级的成员。
我不想也不愿在当天现场让你们羞辱，所以为了避免此不快事件发生，请你们趁这周末把那首歌摸熟。
当天排练改成在华乐室进行。

另外
那些还没把精音演出的票钱和华乐上衣的十五块钱请在当天把钱带来，交给组长（仁杰）
有原因而不能出席的组员请尽早通知仁杰，好让他能向张老师为你们的缺席而做个交代。
请注意我的用词；原因，而不是借口。要明辨。
星期一准时到场。

到时见

谢谢

GOLD WITH HONOURS!!! =D

GOLD WITH HONOURS!!! =D

Sorry guys for updating so late!

Anyway, great job people!

It's a nice feeling when you achieve what you want right?

That's why we say work hard and you will enjoy the rewards. ;)

It has not been an easy one year.

But thank goodness in the end, we have successfully defended what was earned 2 years back.

However, everyone must remember that results are not everything.

Although we have achieved a GwH, we should always remember to be humble and respect others.

(Pride comes before a fall remember?)

But nevertheless, congratulations again to everyone, and we thank everyone for your effort put in during the final lap.

THANKS :D

Anyway, exams are coming right up soon for Sec 1 to 3s.

JIAYOU JIAYOU! ^^

Do well alright, and get over this before we celebrate after your MRs ba.

See you guys and jiayou! =D

CO will be taking a break until further notice. We will inform your SLs when practice begins again.

And finally a last word which I really want to say.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC. =)

Xuan Ming

P.S. Voting and EXCO interviews are arriving soon! ;)

3 DAYS LEFT GUYS!

The final lap, towards the day where we decide our fate.

JIAYOU!

If you have read the news recently, you would have seen this person called Susan Boyle from the UK and her stunning voice.

It is really an inspiring story, go read up on her.

And here's her video on her performance during Britain's Got Talent show.
