Hi ALL,

Just some updates and announcements

Next week rehearsal, 28 Mar 09, Sat:
3pm-6pm
Songs to be done - Chili Con Carne, Change the world, Our story and I turn to you

Announcements:

1) This coming Saturday,28 Mar, we are going down to Metro to get a rough idea of what we are wearing for our concert. I will need people to volunteer to go down with Angie/Mrs. Sassarak after rehearsal.

2) Tickets sales updates for 16 May 09:

a. It is compulsory for all to sell/buy at least 4 tickets which means a total of $50. For christmas singers, the $50 will be cut off from your christmas pay. For the ones who just joined us this year, you can either make a loan from TAS YV fund or please do pass $50 to me for your the tickets. We will use that money from pay to buy 80tickets that is worth $12.50.

b. Each person is only entitled to 4 tickets that is worth $12.50. Therefore if you are going to purchase more than 4 tickets either ask your friend/family members to use their name to purchase the $12.50 tickets or ask around TAS YV to see if any members are unable to sell out all of their tickets and you can buy from them.

c. The tickets will be given out as soon as we are able to collect it, meanwhile just collate all the orders and inform me.

3) Whereabouts after 16 May 09 Concert:
I will need to know your schedule when the concert period is over so to prepare you all in teams for the a cappella championships. It is not a choice if you would like to continue with us, but if you do have good reasons, the management/committee will discuss about it.

**For A and O level students, once concert ends, the alternate rehearsal plan will be able to start which means for A and O level students ONLY, attendance cannot fall below 50% for each month.

4) Solo/Duet for 16 May Concert
As we might have time for performances other than a cappella singing. If you are interested in singing solo or duet with a guitar or any other instruments(exception of piano), please do inform us.

FINALLY,
Please send replies of 1, 3 & 4 via email to tasvoices@gmail.com. State your name and label the email as 'blog reply'.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION!
