Hello everyone , :)This is probably my second time blogging on this rotting blog,
-SIGHS-
I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE! :D
TO ALL TAS YV MEMBERS,
I, yohannis, will be organising an outing this coming saturday!
HURRAY~ -applause-
The last time I organised an outing was that random bowling one, LOL.
OH, BTW, Happy Chinese Niu Year ^^ bzzzzt.
After this saturday's rehearsal,
We will be having steamboat at Jo's house,
[Thanks Jo for letting me use your house&personal belongings etcetc. LOL.]
For those who cannot eat the steamboat -> Utensils used not halal,
Or allergic to crustation/seafood etc etc.
You can takeaway some nice food to Jo's house along the way ;D
When we shop for some CHOCOLATE FONDUE INGREDIENTS after the rehearsal!
Okay, as I was saying, we're gonna have steamboat.
Then after that, we'll have a chocolate fondue party! -screams-
MY FAVOURITE BABY ;D
[Sorry to those who dislikes chocolate -.-''']
After that, we can have all the fun in the world!
Play card games,mahjong,gossip, watch movies[ANYONE GOING can bring nice DVDs?]
Perhaps Horror/Comedy :DDD
ALSO, you have a chance to STAYOVER at jo's house.
So if you want, do sleepover, and get a chance to have fun with people like ME! =D
Okay -pukes- !
So, Jo's mum will KINDLY buy the ingredients for the steamboat.
And thus, she needs to know the CONFIRMED number of people going.
SO PEOPLE, do tell me if you're going, ADD ME ON MSN.
yohannis_rules@hotmail.com :D
And tell me, if I RECEIVE no response from you by thursday night,
Then we shall not buy your share of food, thank you.
& FYI, it's not free, need to pay ok! Thank you ;DDD
And that's all from me,
Hope you come for the outing and support the organiser = me = yohannis. LOL..
Bye and TAKE CARE! See you this saturday.
With much loves,
Yohannis. ;D

Sorry for this quite last minute update...When I am learning the song for Come Back Home just now, I found some
mistakes in notes for the bass part. The mistakes has been corrected,
and the corrected midis and nwc has been uploaded to the group. The
other parts are unaffected but u may want to re-download the nwc and
the midi with all parts just in case u need it in the future xD
Sry once again and see you guys tomorrow =)

Hey guys...Hope you guys have enjoyed and learned something from the workshop by Mr David Thian last Saturday on the dynamics and interpretation of scores... And of course hope you guys still remember the polished version of "I get around" and "It's you" =D
In anycase, Come Back Home Midis & NWC has been uploaded onto the google groups. Please do remember to check them out and learn your parts by the next rehearsal hopefully. I have seperated the score according to parts: S1, S2, S3, A1, A2, T1, T2, B1, B2. For the current S2s in the group, please download S2 and S3 midis and see which one u can sing better. And for the current S1 in the group, please download S1 and S2 midi part and see which one u can sing better too. Coz the score got some super high notes and as well as super low notes (that i don't even sure whether i can reach or not >.<) yeps. There won't be any percussion in this song coz its a very soothing and emotional choral piece =)
The tempo is not noted in the original score, and 120 seems a bit too fast... I currently set it to 105, and ppl if you are free enough you can try to listen to the midi at different tempo and suggest a good tempo for the song =)
Also, The midi cannot do any crescendo and decrescendos due to limitation of programs, but do take note that there are crescendos and decrescendos in the score, which I have noted in the NWC.
Yeps I suppose thats all from me... xD Hope you guys like the song... I personally like it a lot.
