CO camp
Hey guys,
Hope that you've been enjoying your holidays!
Anyway the annual CO camp will be held on 6th December to 8th December.
If you do not have the consent form, you can get it from your respective SL. For those who already have the consent form, please hand it up to your SL during your next practice. The camp is compulsory to all. For those who really cannot make it, please get the Leave Application Form from your SL and attach any documents to prove that you cannot attend the camp. You will have to hand it up to 龙老师 yourself.
SL, please prepare a piece for your Sections to perform. There may be parents coming and hence it will be good if we can show them what we have learnt ^^
Hope you guys will have fun during the camp~
Cheers
Bryan

Welcome back:D
Hey guys,
It has been a while since we had practice. You all might be 'disappointed' that co resumes tomorrow, however it is important in order for us to improve and prepare for our concert next year.
Hope that you have done well for your EOYs. Most importantly, enjoy yourselves these few days before our results come back.
Chadd.
One team,one orchestra.

Yay!
Hey guys,
I hope that you guys did a good job for your EOY.
Anyway, CO practice will resume this Friday. I'm sure that that's a very good news for you guys.(Right?^^)
By the way, please check with your parents on whether you are allowed to go for the Korea trip in December. That will serve as a platform to build up our bonds with the Primary School CO.
Have a good rest!
Thanks :D

Hi guys, first time posting here too~
As you can see, I have given a blog a brand new look, just like how we are...new.
Haha, just hope that we can co-operate well with each others just like how you guys did it with the previous batches of EXCOs. Oh yeah, and do check the blog more often. We will be posting interesting stuffs from today onwards. Hope that your journey in CHSCO will be a smooth and pleasant one. Let it be able to bring back memories next time when you finally graduate from the school.
Cheers,

Hey guys! Haha first time posting something here xD
Ok, anyway, it doesn't seems that most of you guys were following this blog for the past few weeks. Too busy for studying, perhaps? Or simply just because the juniors don't know anything about it and the seniors have forgotten as well? Well, it's not the point. What I hope is that all of you will be able to check this blog at least a few times per week. It doesn't really takes much time compared to your schedule anyway. Just a few minutes will do. We will try to put up some interesting stuff and sometimes announcements might be made HERE. We need to keep this blog ACTIVE. :D
Second thing, as what was mentioned during this evening's debrief, consent form MUST be in by tomorrow, if not NO CIP HOURS will be given to you. Just a reminder, reporting time tomorrow is 4.00pm at the MRT station stated in the map. Do bring along a bottle of water with you.
Last but not least, the CO friendship bands will be sold at $2 each. Bring your money on Monday and buy from Bryan if you want to have one. First come first served xD
Ok that's all for today. Goodnight!
HL :D

What to say? It seems as if Joshua has already encapsulated what the five of us would have told you. But of course, we must each have our own words to say.
Here it goes.
12 months ago, or rather, 13 months, I was appointed to be one of CHSCO's 5 excos. I saw it not as a burden of responsibility, but rather an honour and a privilege to be tasked with leadership of this great CCA. First, I must say that serving alongside the other 4 newly-retired excos, namely Josh, Ben, BX & Gibson, was definitely memorable and enjoyable.
To the next five of you; you guys are a talented bunch. We chose you to succeed us, entrusting you with CHSCO hoping that you will feel the same honour to have the chance to lead, and carry out your duties with passion.
This is one step forward not just for them, but for you, the whole of CHSCO. There isn't a batch which won't have to leave. It's my turn now.
The legacy of CHSCO will continue, unfortunately one I will not be part of anymore. Having to listen to CHSCO from an audience's seat... I wish I could be closer.
Perhaps now is still early to say so, but... goodbye T.T
CHSCO 2011-????
Jiayou!!!
Ivan :)

A New Chapter, Towards Greater Heights
It had been a long and tiring year… One filled with bittersweet memories, shared by all. No doubt the road we had travelled was rough, but we still made through. Through thick and thin, we stood by one another… How could anyone forget? It had been a wonderful experience being your President, but the time has come for me to pass the baton to a more competent batch of leaders. It is time for a renewal of leadership.
I must first congratulate the new Excos on their appointments. They have been identified and selected based on merit. They are a mark of Distinction, outstanding in character and abilities. The new team of excos, together with the various section leaders, will bring the Orchestra to greater heights!
The road ahead is unpredictable. It may be laden with obstacles and the only way to overcome them, would be to stay united in the face of adversity. Since we are all on the same boat, cooperation and harmony are essential in bringing about prosperity. There is much to be learnt from previous experiences, mistakes committed throughout the past years and problems to be solved, immediately. The path ahead is optimistic, please believe, it will be!
I dare say, with much certainty that the Orchestra is in good hands. Never allow the Orchestra’s spirit to waver! The most important task now is to unleash the full potential of the Orchestra. After today’s performance, I am convinced that the Orchestra would be able to scale greater heights! Potential without fulfillment is a waste.
With that, I would like to wish the new excos and the Orchestra all the best in the upcoming year. It will be a fun-filled journey ahead! It would be exciting to watch a new chapter unfold!

Woohoo!That was our CO BBQ/Chalet stayover on saturday. It was a pity that some of you missed it, but to the rest, thank you all for coming.
This is probably one of the last times we will spend together as CHSCO '11 and I'm sure you all agree that it was an enjoyable one.
I apologise for the very few pictures and the low quality of them. I was busy playing and did not take many pictures, and had to compress what few pictures I had to be able to post them online. Ruowei and Lionel brought their cameras, so you may want to ask them for photos. :)
Have fun CO, and keep on rocking! Concert is a week away... see you soon.
Let's rock SOTA.
Jiayou!!!

CHSCO Chalet cum BBQ
Hi guys!
Please take note that there are a few last min changes to our chalet. Check-in will no longer be on Friday as the teachers would not be around to supervise and 'babysit' us. BBQ will still be on on Saturday night.
Details for the Chalet cum BBQ are as follows:
Venue: Costa Sands Downtown East (Beside Escape Theme Park/Wild Wild Wet)
*** Please note that the chalet number will only be known on the day we check in. SLs will update you guys again on Sat, so stay tuned ***
Date: 7th to 8th May
More details are printed on the consent form. Please look for Liu Fang lao shi @ staff room 1 to collect your consent form if your haven't done so.
If you/your parents need more information regarding the Chalet cum BBQ this weekend, you can approach your SLs, the EXCOs or the teachers for assistance.
Hope all of you guys would be able to make it! Our senoirs will be present too :)

Clarifications on the score
Hellos! This is a clarification regarding the score and award presented.
I believe most of you have been able to move on already, so I'm feeling better to post this as well.
DISCLAIMER!!! (o.o) Please note that this is only based on what I've read from the source and how I interpreted it. (stated below) and I'm not trying to advocate the management or anything haha.
Regarding the clarification, some of you might be wondering (as seen from the tagboard) why after the reduction in score we received a silver award. (Instead of possibly, a gold.)
Firstly, I believe we were penalized 10% of our score.

are required to be in full school uniform or their respective Chinese Orchestra

- Silver 70% to 79%
- Bronze 60% to 69%
- Certificate of Participation 59% and below

Thank you for coming down this morning, Jinhong. You have been and still are such a wonderful senior and source of encouragement for us.
For the CO, I saw Jinhong's blog(link right -->) and stumbled across something Jinhong said was posted by Chengjun. I found it really meaningful and impactful. I know we were still kind of emotional this morning, but we will get over it, we have to. Let me share Chengjun's words with you(if you have not already seen them).
想想看，我们是不是获得更多？逆境显现出我们团队的坚强，团员的团结。有时，逆境带来的比顺势能给的还要多，经验更加难忘，可贵。你发现，原来还有那么多人在乎。所以说嘛，我们应该感到无比自豪，因为我们得到了别人无法得到的，那就是 “赢” 牌。
True, true. I felt exactly the same way nearly immediately after we got our results. Seeing you guys bond together and encourage each other was my best moment in this CCA in my 4 years. It made me feel like part of one warm family.
Again, thank you all our seniors for your support and encouragement! Hope to see you guys again soon.
Jiayou!!!

- CHSCO, Our Glory
Rock on, CHSCO!
I'm really proud of you guys and remember,
we've done our best and we are the best!
Though none of us expected the outcome,
we know that our music was recognised by the audience and judges!
Our music played was of Gold with Honours' standard!
We performed without regrets and that's the highest standard of a musician!
It's been a long journey and I really enjoyed the process!
Though there were obstacles during our journey,
we managed to overcome them as one orchestra, one body.
Also, it would not have been possible without the guidance of Wei LaoShi,
our teachers, our instructors and others.
As such, I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone who helped
us out and especially our seniors who came down despite having lessons!
THANKS FOR MAKING THE JOURNEY WORTHWHILE! ♪ ♫♪ ♫
It's really touching to see everyone
encouraging each other and bonded together as one.
One journey may have ended, but another continues.
CHSCO will stay strong and be stronger in the next SYF!
P/s: I'd listen to the recording everyday! CHSCO is the best!
