Hey. As promised, there will not be practice this coming Tuesday. The next practice for all will be Thursday, 6th December. Be in the music room at 9am as per norm. Sec Ones and some selected Sec Twos will be required to stay back after practice for some surprise. Those of you that attended today's practice should know, haha. =P Reminder for the people attending SFX Youth Choir's concert: It will be this Tuesday, 4th December at 8pm. Meet at City Hall MRT Station at 6.30pm. We will have dinner together first.

The next choir practice for everyone will be this Saturday, 1st December. There will be PT (play time!!!), so assemble outside the PE Dept at 7.30am sharp. Practice may end slightly later than usual for a Saturday practice, but it will also mean no practice next Tuesday IF you guys perform well. =) And those of you still unconfirmed on the choir camp and Festa Musicale: Olomouc, please get your parents' consent ASAP, we will need to tabulate the numbers on Saturday.

Concert Alert! Here is a reminder that the "A Tribute to Samuel Ting" Choral Concert will be tomorrow, 28th November . You are reminded to be outside the cafeteria of Victoria Concert Hall at 7pm to get your attendance taken. Latecomers will not be allowed to enter the concert hall until the intermission, so please be really punctual!!! The next practice will be this Thursday, 29th November . Be in the music room at 9am sharp . We will also require you to seek your parents for approval on the Festa Musicale: Festival of Songs Olomouc, Czech Republic by this Saturday. Estimated cost is around $2400 per pax, before subsidies from school and etc. Choir camp will also be ongoing on the 12 December to 15 December as well. Please seek the consent of your parents as well.

The next choir practice will be this coming Tuesday, 27th November. Be in the music room at 9am sharp. We might be giving some sort of surprise (or not), so you might just find out during practice. Haha.

The next practice for all will be this Saturday, 24th November. There will be PT in the morning, so be outside the PE Dept by 7.30am sharp. Remember to rest well and have an early night!

There will be practice this Thursday, 22 November. It is a level-by-level practice, so you will be having practice only with people from the same level as you. This is so for us to go from the full choir to a macro choir so we can work on individual people to help improve your singing. Details for the various levels will be as follows: Secondary Ones (this year) - begin at 9am Secondary Twos (this year) - begin at 11.30am Secondary Threes (this year) - begin at 2pm Each session should last about 2 hours, inclusive of the time for clearing admin stuff. Also, those of you that have your vest and tie with you, please bring it on Thursday's practice as well. See you on Thursday's practice! =)

SCREAMOUT: Have a Friendster account? Join us now at VSchoir's Friendster Group ! (it has been stagnant for the past 9 months!) The next practice for everyone will be this coming Tuesday, 20th November. We will be starting at 9am. Do take note that we are moving into a phase of preparation for next year's Rhapsody VIII. Even though it may only be on April (about 4 months from now), we need to keep pace as 4 months will be difficult to perfect almost 20 songs. We have more or less the scores for about half of them, and we have yet to start on many songs. Do make the effort to come for practices as it would be troublesome to restart for the sake of teaching those that did not learn a particular song, due to severe time constraints. Have a great weekend ahead!

The next practice for the WHOLE choir will be on Saturday , 17 November 2007. There will be NO PT. Please be punctual and be outside the music room by 9am . Also, remember to bring the $15 for the Mr Kwei's memorial concert for his late teacher. If you did not come for the last practice, please place your orders on Saturday. We might be giving out the choir photos to those who ordered it on Saturday too.

This is an addition to the above post by Jonathan. For those interested to watch the St. Francis Xavier Youth Choir performing, details as follows: What: Promise Who: St. Francis Xavier Youth Choir (SFX Youth Choir, guest starring Catholic High School Choir) When: 4 December 2007 Where: Victoria Concert Hall Ticket Price at $15 each Please inform me if you wish to attend the concert. =)

Dear Choir, The next practice will be on Thursday, 15 November 2007, at 9am. Please be punctual and meet outside the Music Room for the whole choir. Mr Aw Yong will be confirming whether there are any Secondary One members who are quitting Choir as a CCA on that day. Also, we will arrange for Mr Kwei to come over on that day in the afternoon because he isn't free in the morning, which means that you will be given a lunch break before he arrives. We will be finding out the number of people who cannot make it for Mr Kwei's concert on 28 November and give him the final number of tickets we need to order. And lastly, we might be giving out the Choir photos to those who ordered on Thursday too. Thank you.

Tomorrow is the Victoria School Open House '07 and only some one people will be participating in it. Those participating in it are to be at the music room by 8am for practice before the showcase. Please be punctual and do your best!

Dear Choir, Our conductor, Mr Kwei, will be presenting a memorial choral presentation for his late teacher who taught him conducting. November 28, 2007 Victoria Concert Hall 7.30PM Tickets $15 each COMPULSORY for ALL MEMBERS INCLUDING SECONDARY 4s! It is a very special concert with VJC and TPJC Choirs both performing and Mr Kwei wants all his students to pay this respect with him. So please make that date available and attend this concert for Mr Kwei. Life is fragile, and Mr Kwei has lost someone who means a lot to him. We should all make the effort to make ourselves available on 28 November to attend this concert and together appreciate what this person has done for Mr Kwei who in turn has done many things for us. Lastly, school on Thursday will be ending at around 12pm for Sec 1 - 3 so the next choir practice will be on Thursday, 25 October 2007, at 12.30pm.

Hello choir. SYF Choral Presentation has ended, and I am sure that everyone enjoyed the performance on the whole. Whether you felt we performed well or not, let us not dwell too much upon this and look forward to the future. There will not be any practices until further notice, so please focus on your academics more and catch up with whatever work that needs to be done. Your SLs will be contacting you around after the CA week, about 3 weeks from now. While there is a break from choir, I urge you to continue practising your techniques and facial expressions by yourself. Use your time wisely! We also would like to extend a farewell to the Secondary4s as the choral presentation marks their very last performance with the rest of the choir. I am sure that they will have many unforgettable memories performing with VS Choir as they continue on their journey in life. To everyone else, strive for the very best results in your studies!

Hello VSchoir. Despite getting Gold award without honours, I am sure you all have worked very hard for it. Don't worry, treat this as an obstacle in life, there are bound to be failures in life. But come to think again, Gold is not really a failure. Probably we are just 1 or 2 marks away from Gold with Honours. Yes it may be a bit wasted, but don't give up. Don't let this affect your studies. Come back during the Pattaya trip with a greater award! We will all be looking forward to that. Sherman Student Conductor
