Hi NYCO! :D

As Woon Yee mentioned in the earlier post! I'm sure everyone had loads of fun during nyco camp 2010! For those who left early, remember to get your amazing race prizes from your group/section! Or else...they will go to...YOU-KNOW-WHO! heh heh! Yup DON'T FORGET!

AND TO THE SEC 4s! WE REALLY HOPE YOU ALL HAD A FUN TIME DURING SEC 4 FAREWELL! HOPE YOU ALL FEEL SO PROUD TO BE PART OF NYCO DURING THE GRAND ENTRANCE (hehe) TO M4 AND THAT YOU WILL LIKE THE GIFTS WE MADE FOR YOU! NYCO LOVE YOU ALL FOREVER! :p

To those who missed the farewell!! D: These photos will show you all what we've prepared for you all too!

During the "grand entrance to M4" (unfortunately, I don't have a picture that shows this :((), this was the screen that welcomed the sec 4s! :D

We had a game called "guess who". Those eyes belong to...xxxxxx and the mouth belong to xxxxxx :)

This is the christmas tree and the sec 4 gifts!

As the gifts are too small to be seen clearly in the previous picture, here's one sachet! :D But I don't think the glowing star can be seen though D:

Lastly, everyone ate this yummy yummy chocolate cake! (Ignore those holes and lines! Some of it are already in the seniors' stomach! Look at the pink words!) :D

Yup hope the seniors enjoyed everything NYCO has prepared for you all! :D

*slight change of mood*

SYF approaching in less than 4 months! So we will need to put in extra effort and be 100% more focused in dazu and xiaozu than we are now! Here are some tips and reminders to keep everyone going strongly, bravely and with energy!!!

1. Sleep at least 8h everyday, just like Garfield! :o

2. Practice! And concentrate when you are practicing! Try to find different ways of practicing and see which way(s) work best for you. Should you start by familiarizing with your part? Is slow practice effective for certain parts of the piece? (Think about it and try it out)

"Practice makes perfect!"

(just change the piano to your instrument ^^)

3. Pay 101% of your attention to the comments that are made by Mrs Ee in dazu, even if it does not involve your section! It does make a big difference!

AND REMEMBER TO LOOK AT MRS EE DURING DAZU!
(recall the consequences of staring at your scores! D: )

4. Drink plenty of water and stay in the pink of health! This seems really out of point yet it is really important to everyone! If we stay healthy, CO will have better attendance = possibly better progress in dazu (compared to a poorly-attended dazu)

*slurp* and the best thing is..you realize that water taste really nice!

5. Stay positive and happy! Don't be overly relaxed yet at the same time, there's no need to be overly worried! It is normal for everyone to meet into difficulties along the way (in fact it will seem abnormal if everything just happens so smoothly and as planned). So face all the challenges you meet during xiaozu/dazu/own practice bravely as there will be a light at the end of the tunnel!

(HMM...I hope this picture illustrates what I'm saying...anyway I'm sure everyone gets what I mean! :D)

If we make a mistake, climb back up onto the journey! It's okay to feel sad initially but after that period, stand up, don't give up, learn from your mistakes along the way and set new expectations for yourself! If you need help, ask anyone around you! I'm sure everyone will be more than willing to help you out!

SO LET'S ALL WORK HARD TOGETHER AND PUT IN OUR BEST IN EVERY PRACTICE! LET EVERYONE HEAR THE MUSIC FROM OUR HEARTS! JIAYOU JIAYOU JIAYOU FOR SYF!

Hey all SLs!

Please inform your Laoshi about the xiaozu practice time and huibao schedule during camp. The arrangement for huibao this year is slightly different compared to previous years so that it is more convenient for our laoshi. Thus, they are strongly encouraged to watch huibao this year, especially since it will be in the auditorium! Your section Laoshi can support his/her section and understand the section strength and weaknesses through the performances too!

So here are the details!

Xiaozu: 14 Dec, 1330-1630 (the venue is as per normal)

Huibao:

15 Dec, 1530-1800
Auditorium
Dizi, Shengsuo, Xianyue, Pipa, Yangqin

16 Dec, 1045-1200 and 1300-1400
Auditorium
Cellobass, Ruanliu, Percussion

*In case the instruments above confuse you, it just means that the huibao will be by CO members playing this instruments!

For the 16 Dec huibao session, there will be a lunch break from 1200-1300.

Seniors can come back to support their juniors too! The huibao list will be put up on the notice board on the first day of camp so in the meantime, everyone jiayou for huibao! Practice hard and just do your best on these two days (+january too of course)! :D Do remember to prepare an introduction (that will let the audience understand the piece slightly better) for your huibao!

See you all at camp! :)
