Hi guys, after a long time, the blog is updated yet again! Sorry for not updating blogposts!
Firstly, Open House Performance is upcoming, only 2 days away! We are performing in the School Hall and not the Canteen this time, although there is no air-con and it is an 'open' concept. Songs we are performing are: Mandala, Matsuri, 阿细跳月, 赛马 and 郵递马车. Lets do our best like always and inspire possible future Victorians to fall in love with our music! :) As usual, practice makes perfect so please put in your best efforts in practicing the songs, especially the parts where the orchestra needs to go loud and soft, as well as your own solo parts. :)
Secondly, the VSCO Shirt will be collected soon, so please pay up as soon as possible as those who have not paid will not receive their shirts until they have done so!
Currently, there are a few important things we must take note of:
-Firstly, the VSCO 2011 Interaction, which will take place on 28th and 29th of November. Please take note that this interaction is a music interaction, so please make friends with a motive of learning more about their orchestra and instrument-playing techniques and not some other motive!
-Also, we will most likely be having a December camp, which will be the last camp organized by the current VSCO committee'2011/2012. Please do look forward to an enjoyable and exciting camp, although it is still tentative due to complications regarding the camp dates! :)
-Lastly, there is also the most important thing, VSCO Concert! Although the name of the concert has yet to be decided, i believe that everyone has already received most of the scores for the songs which may be used in the concert. Please try to perfect the song to make the concert a success! In an orchestra, we are one and what matters is our teamwork. Please do help one another out by practicing the songs together as a section or orchestra! Alumni members of VSCO will officially be joining us for practice from 21st November onwards, although you may once in a while see a few seniors coming in to guide and teach us as they are more experienced. The concert is a really big thing as it has been around 5 years since VSCO had a concert, unlike Concert Band and Choir who have been organising concerts annually/biannually. Therefore, I hope that everyone can put in their best efforts and work towards the same goal of perfecting our concert songs. Confucius: 'A journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step'. With this in mind, this concert will be like the first step to constructing a system of having VSCO concerts biannually, hence it will be SYF year, Concert year, SYF year, etc. By having this concert, we will be able to showcase hidden talents within VSCO, allowing parents to have an insight of the progress of the CCA their son is in. Additionally, friends of VSCO members will be able to watch VSCO perform and hopefully enjoy our melodious music! :)
I hope that everyone will do their part in forming an orchestra with strong bonds and great teamwork, in order to enable VSCO to scale greater heights!
