Hi fellow alumni, for those who haven't receive the minutes of meeting via email, pls kindly inform me. I'll forward it to you again. And ya, like what I've mentioned in the latest mail regarding the photocopying. I think it's reasonable to collect band fund for photocopying and some other expenses.

Due to some copyright issue, we cannot photocopy the scores in school. Anyway, the scores doesn't even belong to CBSS. We'll source for the cheapest printing centre and get it printed asap.

PLS DON'T ASK ME WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THE SCORES! When practice commences, we'll then give you the scores on that day itself! Thanks.

hi fellow alumni!

sorry, Mrs Ng changed the date for the meeting.

why not on 19th??!!!! cos 21st is a public holiday, and the staff wants to enjoy their LONG WEEK ENDS. hahahs!
Very sorry about it.

The meeting will be held on the 26th September 2009, 9am at chong boon secondary school.
Pls confirm your attendance asap. Call me at 9-111-6525 for more info.

Thanks and regards

hey fellow alumni! yea, i've just talked to Mrs Ng this afternoon at cbss. She told me that we can only start practice on the first saturday next year, which is 9 Jan 2010.
WHY SO LONG???!! hahahas. yea, cos the current batch of sec 4s will be mugging like hell for their O levels. I intended to have practice after Os, but Mrs Ng will be in overseas. And she'll be back on the last week of december. But I bet no one will want to attend rehearsal one day after christmas. So, she suggested on the first saturday of 2010.
Regarding the conductor, hmmmm... I bet many would want Mr Leng to conduct, and some wants Mr Chiang. Well, like what I've told you guys, we'll VOTE! hahahs!
When's the voting? hmmmm.. we'll hold a meeting soon to decide. When can you guys make it??!! Or should I fix it? I'll update you guys again~!

cheers

Kelvin =D

Hi fellow alumni!!! Ya, I've just contacted Mrs Ng and asked her regarding the practice venue for us. She said that she'll have to talk to Mdm Tay, the current vice-principal of cbss. If she agrees, then it'll be good for us! wohooo!!!

And I've asked Mrs Ng whether is there any theme for this concert. She said, ya, multi-racial is it?! nah, i couldn't remember. wahahas! She said that the main band will be playing alvamar overture (James Barnes), Legend from Yao (arr. by Darence Leng) and some malay folk song lah. Then I asked how about us?! She actually suggest us to play Korean Folk Song Suite. I'm not very sure if I got the title right! wahahahs! ya, she wants us to play this piece.

I heard from Mr Adrian Chiang that the concert, Metier 8 will be held at Victoria Concert Hall next year either April or June. well, shall see then.

Now, we need to confirm our musicians and then chair a meeting to discuss some matters like who's the conductor, what pieces and when's practice starting.

That's all folks!

Hi fellow cbwinds alumni, we would like to set up our very own chong boon alumni winds!

Next year, there'll be a concert, METIER 8. And Mr Chiang (the current resident conductor of cbwinds) was suggesting that this concert will be presented by the main band (cbwinds) and the alumni winds. Will then end the concert with a combine piece.

We strongly urge you people to join us and make music together!! hee.. Once we confirm the members, we'll then hold a meeting to decide who's the conductor and the repertoire.

Pls email/sms me if you're interested in joining. Thanks! =)

PS: strictly only PURE chong boon breed!!! no guest players, NOTHING!!!
