MAY. Assembly Programme Performance! (24 May 2011)
Tuesday, March 1, 2011
Err, okay, hi. Regarding today's SYF Soundtest @ RP, it wasnt as desirable as i thought it would be. It could be a whole lot better, thats for sure. When we went there, out first round was already screwed. 1ST ROUND! On the actual day, we only have ONE AND ONLY chance = 1 round ONLY. It was a major screwup. As the section leaders [xueying, dino (in place of me), Fitri, Syahidah, Denise] stated, it was horrible. We weren't even playing together. And i agree. On the podium, every sound you make is obvious to me. Who is playing and who is not. The audiences, remember, CAN HEAR YOUR EVERY SINGLE MISTAKE. it is that obvious. You might not think its obvious but it really is. Its like somebody playing an off pitch/ note right smack in your face. Hmm, but when Mr Eng came we sounded abit better though.. We did some stuff, then our time slot was up D: We went back to school, did sectionals then ensemble again. we're kinda improving though. so, keep it up~ ;D well, we apparently have a video of our performance at RP. The soundtest day. afiqah will send me the video soon and i'll post it up here as soon as i get it :) But the recorded one is one WITH the section leaders and one WITHOUT the section leaders i guess. But in the mean time, i took some peektures while we were there! I'll post some up here soon~ you can look at it here; http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=10150105367973280&id=640573279&aid=288840 if you're friends with me, that is :) Mostly candid shots and our group photo was awesome~ There's guitar tomorrow again, please be punctual! Our next event coming up is the Exchange Programme @ National JC. So please look forward to it & PRACTICE! :)

Overview of our ensemble.
our initial roots.
From a humble beginning in 2006 with only 20 members, the Guitar Ensemble has grown both in character and strength. This year we managed to recruit a total of 26 secondary 1 members, making a total of 46 members in the ensemble. As a relatively new CCA, the ensemble too experienced its fair share of teething problems especially in the initial stages. However, with the support, commitment and dedication shown by its pioneer members, the ensemble managed to overcome these challenges.
We took part in SYF 2007, 2009 and was awarded Bronze and Silver respectively. The students practiced very hard to ensure a great performance for the competition. Practices were intensified to 3 times a week in preparation for this major project. The members have shown resilience in improving their guitar playing skills, and was rewarded in this event.
The ensemble is currently under the guidance and instruction of Mr Alvyn Eng.
Current Batch of Guitarists, '10.
