Hello J1s once again!
Orientation should end yesterday night. Hope u all had an enjoyable orientation organised by Student councillors.
Well, its time for u all to choose ur CCA on Wednesday. Every cca will be setting out booth at the respective areas allocated. For us, CO, we still dunno e venue yet! BUT! i will inform u all ASAP. :)
I would greatly recommend CO. Let me tell u why u SHOULD join co.
1)CO people are really friendly :D
Though we are quite small in strength, we are very bonded! Thats why we have a slogan ''Saints Orchestra, one family unbroken'' Orchestra being small is not a really big factor in making u choosing it as a cCA. Other JCs are also having this prob. U may compare the CO u have in ur sec sch with SACO. But u must consider one thing. Sec sch CO are made up of 4/5years cohort unlike JC, for now theres only 1 year cohort. So, u cant really judge from no. Currently, we have a few Talented CO members too. What i would say is.... though we have no quantity, we have qualities! :)
2)SACO is really different from other COs.
How different? u may ask. We are different in terms of the songs we play. Many people have e impression that CO music are really noisy, very traditional, very old fashion. That is not true for SACO! We are moving towards e direction of arrangings songs on our own! For last year's concert, we played our self arranged song- 晴天 and 菊花台 by jay chou. U can never hear any sch playing 晴天 i bet. hahha Join us! U will love e songs we arranged.
3) Aren't u sick of joining sports cca? CCA are programs that allow you to learn something new! since in ur sec sch, u have alr learnt e skill, u should pick up another skill in JC! Why not make a big change from Sports to Performing ARts? We are still young! We should experience different things when we are given opportunities! Never had e chance to learn an instument? We have many opportunities for u here in CO! Its FreeOfCharge! LOl. Plus, u get an experience in performing on stage, people buying tickets just to watch u perform. Isnt that great? Stop hesitating! haha :) U have2 years to pick up as much instuments as u like :)
4)we got a SILVER award for syf. I noe that isnt really great comparing it with SAdance n band with gold n gold honours. BUT, we are making an improvement! Results requires effort. band especially, have many practices in a week. U wouldn't want to stay back everyday right? Award doesnt really matters. What matters most is e time u spent in cca, whether is it worth it.
5) Our practice time! We have only like 2 practice each week. Its on Tues and Fri compared to other cCA which falls on wed n fri. Though its 630-830pm each practice, its really worth it. How worthy u may ask. Alright. For School timetable, as wed n fri are CCA days, timetable would definitely end before 3:30. So for CO ppl, Wed we would be the ones going home earliest becos we dont have CCA on wed! For tues, most likely some ppl will end sch at round 5pm. So since its so late alr, y not stay for another few hours for co. not much difference. U wouldnt need to stay back for an extra day. :) thats y i say co is good. xD
So doesnt e above points make sense why u should join Co? Dont hesitate alr. Just Choose CO!
CO room for ur information is located at-- 2nd floor beside AVA room, above band room, beside back door of staff room. Do check out our NOTICEBOARD to look at e times we had in CO! really fun!!
Any questions, Do leave a msg at TAGBOARD! If u wanna join CO, leave a msg too or u can sign up at our booth on wed!
