Dear Angklung members,
Here I am at the beginning of the school holidays and I'm in a day full of meetings :( At any rate, I hope you had a good practice today and are looking forward to the next practice.
Like I said, we're running low in resources for instructor fees :(( so I hope you all will buck up and be more focussed during practices so that we can CUT DOWN on instructor fees (NO MARNEE already!!) Or else you all got to teach yourselves for SYF 2010, and that's unimaginable.
Anyone got any ideas how to overcome this problem? :)

Angklung Members: Need your responses!
Dear Angklung members,
I'm glad to see that you all have improved in your discipline and have taken more responsibility for your CCAs. :) Here, we need your responses to the following questions, as briefed by Mrs Nam this morning. Please think about this and I'll get your responses on Sat:
1) Where do your CCA mates keep their belongings (i.e., school bags, files, & etc) before & during CCA?
(2) Discuss & propose the appropriate place & the steps (i.e., how will it be done & who will be in-charge) your CCA group will take to ensure that your CCA mates' belongings are safe before & during CCA time.
That's all for now; SEE YA ALL TOMORROW! :)

Stand by Me
Dear angklungees,
Here is a video of the song we are playing, "Stand By Me" featuring the original singer Ben E. King. This is what you should be sounding like - relaxed and unhurried:
I also found a combination of "Stand By Me" and Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girl"; the underbelly (background rhythm) is "Stand By Me" all the way. Sounds interesting and refreshing! Maybe we can ask Mr A to let us do it like this eh :D

Dear angklung members,

2. Get our costumes ready; those who have costumes already PLEASE KEEP THEM AT HOME.
3. Schedule another day for our practice.
That's all for now; going for meeting! See you all later! :)

Dear ANGKLUNG members,
WELCOLME BACK and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL :)
Some updates for the new year:
1. NEW INSTRUCTOR
Yes, Mr K has informed us that he has got too many schools and he has to let go of some of them, much as he was very sad to do so. As such we have got a NEW instructor for the ensemble, whom we think would be an interesting and refreshing change for the group. As for his details, we will let you find out for yourself when practice starts so MAKE SURE you come for practice when it starts! :P
2. STUDENT COMMITTEE 2009
As the new year begins, we have decided to create a student committee body to help run the ensemble more efficiently. As such, we would like you, as a member of the group, to make careful nominations of pupils whom you feel are able to LEAD you. Here are the posts you can nominate your fellow members for:
