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 .

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!
