MAY. Assembly Programme Performance! (24 May 2011)
Friday, March 4, 2011
Hey guys! I want to say that we are IMPROVING and are already at the 80% mark. Now, we are putting our 80% effort to achieve the last 20% mark and making our songs sound 1, but will sound like more than 1 guitar! So, I guess we should CONTINUE to strive for our goal - GOLD WITH HONOUR! Every practice will help WHEN we work hard.
I would like to say about our soundtest at RP recently... Eventhough we screw up, i can tell that we are improving bit by bit when i heard the video. BUT it doesn't mean that we are precise! We are accurate at some parts and not at others. I know i had screw up and i'm working to improve it. The question is: ARE YOU doing the same thing? LEt's all work on our weak areas and make our song sound precise before syf.
Tomorrow is guitar practice and UNFORTUNATELY Mr Eng is not able to attend. Thus, Joanne Giam will be our teaher. Let's cooperate and make the practice effective! :)
Today's practice was funny as Mr Eng crack a few jokes BUT I hope we all will REMEMBER the POINTS that he and Ms Wong told us. REMEMBER: try not to play your parts when the instructor is telling each section/everyone something IMPORTANT.. :)
SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW!! :D -Afiqah

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.
