HEYHEY YEAR ONES! :D
WELCOME TO CHOIR~
erm.yupp!
we officially welcome you to the TPJChoir :)
*applauses*
OKAY~ it's time for all of you to start memorising & remember each other's faces ok?
[unlike some people who i know can rmb names but cant rmb faces.haha.]
we know we havent had an orientation for all of you.
BUT
NO WORRIES~
we'll be holding it together with our choir camp which will be on 6-7 March.
i can ensure you there will be fun (:
OK.
J1s,some things for you to take note.
1. Remember to have a PENCIL with you during practices,so at least you can take down whatever your section leaders (SLs) tell you to take note, e.g. where you can breathe in cases where the whole phrase is superrrrrr longggggggg..
2.Remember to have your WATER BOTTLE with you during practice.
PLEASE DONT DEHYDRATE YOURSELF WHEN SINGING.
water is super essential for your body especially your throat. haha.
3. DO NOT LOSE YOUR SCORES OR FORGET TO BRING THEM. ( i wont know what ms ong will want you to do.. )
this are all to take note for now.
PRESS ON FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS!
AFTER THAT,YOU CAN RELAX OK?
LET'S WORK HARD FOR A GOLD FOR SYF OK?
J1s,J2s CHOIR MEMBERS
YOU ARE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE.
THE ASSETS OF THE CHOIR,THE COLLEGE.
DON'T LET YOUR VOCAL TALENT GO TO WASTE.
BE WISE~
DONT BE LATE ON FRIDAY TOO.
I DONT THINK YOU'LL LIKE THE CONSEQUENCES.
P.S. J1s,i strongly encourage all of you to give some feedback after each practices to your section leaders or here at the tagboard. at least the J2s know what you all think & feel about the practices,so that we can improve further. & aim for that GOLD at SYF.
lots of love,
UR WONDERFUL SECRETARY

Preparing for Camp!!
Hi all, nice to see so many positive comments all over the chatbox, hope this also translates to high numbers of interested J1s P:
The J1's all know that they have to take part in the school-organised orientation camp, but I bet you all don't know that choir's also organising our own orientation camp for you guys!
Anyway, this is more of a shoutout to my fellow J2s. I'm calling for leaders to help me organise it, to be held on 6th and 7th March, the weekend before the March holidays. The number of leaders needed will depend on the number of new recruits who will be joining us this year. So to increase you chances of being chosen, invite more juniors to join if you can ;)
Basic requirements: must know the 2 setpieces well, no problems with attendence and exhibit leadership qualities. I'm also pushing to allow non-Exco only, so that more of you guys can have something to write in your SGCs.
The Exco is also planning to give out a choir tee during the camp. Problem is- we still don't have one yet! So I'm inviting everyone to turn to our dusty and forgotten forums (look for the link at the right side) to discuss what designs and colours you want to see.
Wishing everyone a good friendship week, even though it's going to be a Friday the 13th, and we have to commit 4 hours to choir on Valentine's Day. Look on the bright side people- we're working closer and closer to our goals for the middle of the year :) See you all real soon!
Reb, your ever charming VP :P

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN CHOIR
hello all~
i'm addressing the J1s who are reading this in particular.
current choir seniors,if you have more reasons to add on,just post it on the tagboard.
we have lots of convincing to do.
thanks all~
WHY SHOULD YOU [J1] JOIN TPJCHOIR
1. I know TPJChoir isnt as pro as other choirs,those obvious ones like VJ,MJ,AJ. but even though our choir standard is not as good as theirs at the moment, it is a chance for us to push this choir to greater heights,to show the drastic improvement (hopefully!) in our choir standard. we'll be doing good for the future batches (provided nth happens to the choir.lol)
2. You'll get to learn the correct singing techniques that you never knew before (i didnt know!) & really show off your vocals. there's really more techniques to learn & improve,even if you may have choir background. even though you may like pop singing to choral singing, with the basics in choral singing, you'll be a better singer,you'll never guess. :)
3. There is an overseas competition-cum-performance trip to Bratislava,Slovakia,somewhere in Europe. when will you get the chance to go to Europe with your group of friends who share the same passion as you? sch performing arts overseas trips are usually subsidised. consider this.
4. Look at all the activities that we'll be involved for the first half of this year? I think it should be enough to fill up & beautify your SGC.
5. Think. even though the practices maybe very tedious & tiring, there will still be a sense of accomplishment & achievement when all of us, together as a team, reach our goals & aims.
the fun that you can have together with your friends & seniors in choir is unlike those experience you get in other CCAs.
6. You can just do anything in choir. play sports or just initiate any activities with your choir friends. there's no restriction to whatever activities you want to carry out together with your choir friends,outside of choir. Some of your choir seniors do play sports before/after choir together. so no worries.. (:
7. Lastly,there are quite a few people who dont have choir background (mostly frm uniform groups). Considering the other reasons above, why dont you have a change in CCA? you will be realising another hidden talent of yours.
Consider these reasons carefully..
now you know what you'll be missing out if you dont join choir!
SO JOIN/STAY IN CHOIR TODAY!!!
i hope to see all of you have fun during choir!!! :D

Want to see my college MV? LOL. Type "TPJC MV" at youtube and you'll get it.
I think i'm going to join Choir, AGAIN. LOL. In TPJC, all performing arts are the most previleged ones. Cause, when subsidising overseas trip, they will consider performing arts ones first. As performing arts is TPJC's niche area. HOWEVER, they have 3 practice per week. Wednesday, Friday and SATURDAY. So its like tiring and have to come back to college on Saturday for CHOIR??!! LOL. Oh they totally use up the days allowed for CCA Practice. Because, my college's CCA practices are only allowed to be held on these three days. -.-
Cohort wide Choir auditions was held on the first 2 days. Was so happy when the Sit, maybe the assistant conductor of the Choir or something said i've got good pitch and tone. I mean that's written on the small piece of paper where he graded the people. LOL.
He asked," Are you from Choir last time?".
I reply with ..."Yes...".
"Were you a section leader?"
"No.."
"Member?"
"No... Chairperson"quoted from: http://theonewhomyouknow.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-finalised-im-in-tpjc-well-its-tough.html

Haha.
The attractive choir instructor lady kept askin me if I have a musical background.

Haha.
