Firstly, good job everyone for the tech run on Friday, 25 Apr. The next tech run is on 26 May. It's far but let's prepare ourselves and look forward to it. Apologies for the lack of pizza on Fri although it was meant to be a bonding dinner. :) Anyway, reminder to the people who have eaten the pizza and not paid up. Please take the initiative and pay $4 to Andrea. (Honesty is the best policy ya.)

SENIORS PRAC 26 Apr 08
For those who were not present, we standardised the first part of apologize and sort of discussed about the costumes. Approach the dancers who were present today to find out the standardisations.

We are sticking to green as our colour theme for now. The bottom will be black long cargoes or pants that are similar to cargoes. Not too baggy. The top is varied but no short sleeves (like T-shirt) preferably. Try to design your top as creatively as possible. Can add blink blink to costumes. For girls, loop earrings that are not so big but thick. They must be either white, green or silver in colour. Costumes are to be out by the first practice after the J2/Ip4s common test. Bring costume on the very first practice.

Hey all,

apologies for the late notification as we have just confirmed this also.

Aristal Vetting 1
For this Saturday 12 April, it will just be a rough showcase to gauge the progress of the item.
Time: 9-12
Venue: Gym
Attire: NJC Western Dance Tee or Black Orientation Tee

All dancers are to report to school at 8.30am in the linkway for warm-ups and preparation. There's no need to stay for the entire length of the vetting, so when we're not being vetted we'll use the time to practice the items. But there's no apparent order to the showcasing of the items, so we'll work out the schedule and then inform you all on the day itself the timings of your showcase.

ALL THOSE UNABLE TO MAKE IT FOR SHOWCASE, message your item ICs to let them know.
All those in combined item are not required to be in school for showcase due to combined rehearsal on that day.

All of Mr Dan's dancers please take note that we'll request for our vetting to take place at about 11 plus when Mr Dan comes over, and after vetting practice will continue as usual, but we will end early at 1pm as we'll have self practice in the morning.

Photoshoot
Also, everyone is to note that because all 4 dance groups are having difficulty coming up with the costumes on time, the photoshoot has been pushed back to next next week, probably to 21 April. All those involved in the photoshoot will be informed by the various Item ICs when to report/ what to bring etc.

Next Week's Schedule starting 14 April:
Monday: Mr Gn's 5pm at CCAB; Mr Teo's 4pm at linkway
Tuesday: Seniors Item self prac; DanceWorks Contemp 330pm at gym, Mr Dan's 5pm at gym (black t shirt and dark coloured pants)
Thursday: Mr Teo's 4pm at linkway
Friday: Seniors item
Saturday: Seniors item, Mr Dan's 11am at linkway (black t shirt and dark coloured pants)

To clarify, these are the following Item ICs:
Mr Gn's: Jerlyn and Timothy
Mr Dan's: Regina and Shining
Mr Teo's: Andrea and Wei Zong
Seniors': Hui Ting and Priya

Also, just to let you guys know, for College Day on the 3rd of May, Western Dance is sending in our Contemporary DanceWorks item (Allegro) to perform.

Thanks!

Tuesday, April 8, 2008, 9:02 PM
