hi peeps. Back again with my updates.

1.Some housekeeping matters and implementing of club rules
Rules:
1. Eating will be permanently prohibited. Offenders will be required to clean the clubhouse for that week. To set a good example, i, Gabby, will be the first to carry out this punishment on myself since i broke this rule. For the others who broke this rule (especially for 1 of the year 3 and year 2 committee members) (*cough cough cough), it will be overlook this time.

2. The clubhouse house is not for piano ensemble people for no reason. From now on, only a maximum of 4 non-piano ensemble people will be allowed into clubhouse. The two people (Especially 1 of the year 2 committee) who love to bring either his whole env gang or his whole class please take note. Thanks

3. A new duty roster will be planned soon. Please stick to the new duty roster given to you by then. Thanks

4. Please keep the clubroom tidy and neat at all cost. Close the piano and arrange back the chairs neatly after use. Take of your shoes/sandals etc before passing the white line. Thanks

2.Inactiveness
For those people that have been MIAing, please take note that this is the FINAL reminder. Members with busy schedules are understandable. But for the rest that have been MIAing and AWOLing, inactive members will be dismissed from club. Thanks

3.Booking services
If possible, please try to book on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

4.Please visit the blog at least once a week for updates especially for new events. Thanks.

That will be all for the updates.

Hi boys and girls. It's time the blog woke up from its hibernation and started moving again :) So here is the last post for the holidays and also the 1st post for the start of the new term.

During the holidays, 4 pairs had fun practising for their duet pieces. So hope to see more when school reopens :D

1. For this week, the clubhouse will be opened by these people and at this time respectively

Wednesday - Hao Ge ( aka Zi Hao ), 12pm
Thursday - Medusa ( aka Melissa ), 3pm
Friday - Gabby ( aka Gabriel ), 11.30am++ -1pm and 3pm onwards

For Monday, Gabby will be opening at 12+ and will be closed at 3.30pm. As for Tues, it will be opened at 5pm.

For Saturday, it will be opened from 12pm ( maybe earlier ) to late evening every week till further notices. So feel free to pop by on all the days. Also Dom and Lina have placed their practice session on every saturday afternoon, so please take note when booking for practice session.

2. We have a "new" computer in the clubhouse now but there is nothing installed inside yet. So please be patient and wait for the softwares and stuffs to be installed.

3.The bagpipers will be coming to get and clear their stuffs soon. So we will be having more space in the clubhouse soon :D

4.Lastly, the cleaning duty roster will kick off this week. So the first pair DERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRICK and Teck Yun, please be reminded to do your cleaning job. For the rest, please check the list which was sent to you for the week that you are supposed to do. :D

P.S On a sidenote, the clubhouse will be like a "bombshelter" on certain days. So enjoy the bombing. You will know what i mean after you experience it :D

That's all for the update everyone. :D

2009-09-24T22:56:00.000+08:00

Hello there!!!
i'm back for updates again!!
so today it was the first practice for Gabriel and Sandy.
i think they know the toughness of playing duets already.
so is time for you people to experience it too!
next up will be Dominic and Lina on Saturday.

anyway here are some events to look forward to if you are interested in them:

1.Dota Gamers Meet 3

Here is the Dota Gamers Meet with a group of 5 and a reserve member. The rules and all the restrictions i'm not very sure because i'm not into Dota. So, if you're interested particularly boys, you can join!

2. Polyphony @ RP Cultural Centre

There's a long list of events going on at RP in the month of Nov, there's jazz performances as well as workshops for musicians. Some needs a fee of $10 while others are free. So if you're interested, contact me for more details too.

just a little note:

next Wednesday - Friday (30th Sept - 2nd Oct) the room will not be opened due to a stage performance workshop which is a full day session that will be attended by:

Zi Hao, Zui Young, Melissa, Emily, Oribelle, Teck Yun and Sandy.

hence, there will be no key available and please do not place your practices on these days!

thanks!

A little side note for help.

if you have an old sofa that wants to be given away,

please donate to the club room

or if any of you are experts in fixing computers,

do let me know.

we have a desktop in the room that needs some check up done.

Help Appreciated!

2009-09-15T21:30:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!
just to update you some of the status of our members.

Sandy and Gabriel are married!!
haha no just kidding.
both of them have stated their schedule every Tues, 1-3pm.
so please do not clash with their timings.

Pei Shan is in Malaysia till school reopens.
Hence, her partner, Jian Nan will not be having practices.

Oribelle and Isabel are in China till 21st Sept so partners,
Ming Ci and Wang Yan will not be able to contact them till then.

Jayne and Meiling will not be joining us due to their packed schedules.
so partners, Ryan and Dominic will be rescheduled.

Wilfrid will be away on an overseas school trip and will not be back till school reopens.
Partner, Melinda will be free from practices during this holiday and will not be rescheduled.

Typo error!
and Ming Ci is being paired with both Lee Han and Oribelle.
so Ming Ci will be paired with Oribelle,
while Lee Han will be paired with Ryan
while Dominic will be paired with Lina instead (i forgot to put in her name. SORRY!!)

okay that's the end of updates!

2009-09-09T13:39:00.000+08:00

and if you have not been sms-ing me to open the room.

i'll just gladly strike you off our list. =]

any problems with your partners (e.g. cases of MIA, don't want to be in the club anymore etc.)

2009-08-03T21:09:00.000+08:00

HEY PEOPLE!
i'm seriously sorry for the late replies.
have been really busy with projects.
anyway it's not my fault that the club is not starting.
but i need to BLOW the officer to be faster.
we have moved the pianos over and one keyboard has been bought.
the other has no more stock.
and we have to change the lock to the room.
if not the bagpipers will have access in our room.
so to be safe,
we have to do all these extra precautions.

and yes, we still will include new members
but we will have to go through some auditions
after the room is ready.
i'm really sorry for the dead movement of the blog.
i'll try to hurry the officer as soon as possible.
SORRY!

2009-06-24T22:46:00.000+08:00

hoholala!
we're back with news for the club!
yesterday the committee members went back to school to check out the new club house.
the room is super stinky!
and lots of stuff have not been removed by the bagpipers
though they have returned the keys.
things included like speakers, their bagpipes, skirts
and even mahjong set!!
oh goodness gracious.
i really think they are a recreation club
instead of a bagpiping club.
so i guess it will take a while longer
before the room will be ready.
and we'll be looking for you people
to help us with the spring cleaning soon.
some fixtures like fixing the mirrors have to be done too.
so i guess it will take some time.

we will pairing up you people will buddies soon
so please do check back here as we want you to get familiar with your future partners.
this sounds like a blind date.
haha.
ANYWAY!
we also will be posting notices for opening positions of committee members.
we feel that we need more positions to help us out for events.
so stay tuned if you wanna be part of our executive committee.
i guess this will just be a short update.
will be looking forward to see you people in school then!!
=]

2009-06-10T23:49:00.000+08:00

HELLO THERE PEOPLE OF THE PIANO ENSEMBLE!

you'll be able to get all the updates of the clubs and what not (scandals, gossips etc)
so be sure to catch it all here!

HERE'S the latest update for the club.
we will have a club room by this Friday
with 2 pianos sitting inside. (actually i don't know whether it's piano or keyboard)
that's what the officer told me over the phone today.
and we're gonna have a instructor!
he's renowned and teaches at VJC and NUS.
so expect the unexpected!
and be grilled for trainings.
we'll confirm the details again about the timings for trainings!
and anyway, those who are not sure about the location of the room.
it's at...the Sports Hall beside Jazz Band.
we have just ruled the Bagpipers out of the room.
i heard is kinda spacious.
so hip hip hooray! =]

P.S those who haven't paid up for shirts, please do so quickly!
