Hello NYCO!!
It's June! and there seems to be a very long time left before the year ends but truth is, time will pass super fast!! really!! no joke!! Before you know it, the sec 4s will be stepping down really soon (approx. in 2 months time?). :(
Yup and this also means it's soon time to elect our new committee for NYCO!
Each and every NYCO member plays a highly important role in the election process for our new committee as each and every one of your votes add value to the decision making! so nominate wisely! :)
NYCO's committee should play a big part in motivating NYCO, give positive influence and set directions and goals right for NYCO, at the same time creating a fun and enjoyable learning environment for all our members!
Here are the roles and responsibilities for each comm member. Please read through all carefully and decide carefully who to nominate for each post when the time comes. Nominations will be carried out during games day! So you have ample time to think about it ya? :)
Roles:
President (Sec 3) & Vice-President 1 (Sec 3)
The president is the main source of administrative support and leads NYCO with the support of the EXCO. She should have ample organisation skills and be an effective leader. The VP1 provides the president support and should be equally capable. It is important that the President and VP1 work well together and compliment each other. Both will often work with the teachers in charge, EXCO and CO, so good communication skills are a must. They are effectively the bridge of communication between the teachers and CO. These 2 roles require a lot of commitment and responsibility towards NYCO.
Vice-President 2 (Sec 2)
The VP2 is the president understudy. She will support the President and VP1 and learn the essentials to leading a CO well through various leadership opportunities along the way. She is also the main key holder for NYCO’S practice rooms.
Secretary (Sec 3) & Assistant Secretary (Sec 2)
The secretaries are responsible for taking, sorting through and collating everyone’s attendance during daily practices, recording meeting minutes and many other administrative duties. These posts can prove to be very demanding, so our secretaries have to be really on-task and efficient.
Treasurer (Sec 2 or 3)
Money is a big responsibility, especially for a CCA with so many people. Of course, she is in charge of the CO funds and is responsible for collecting and keeping the large amounts of money (e.g. for food, SYF photos, etc). The treasurer has to be clear-headed and very precise in what she does.
Manager of General Affairs (Sec 2 or 3)
The MGA is mainly in charge of our logistical and welfare needs. She has to make sure that we have food to eat, uniforms to wear and proper (and clean!) chairs, music stands and practice venues to use! CO Camp and Orientation also involve important planning duties of the MGA. The MGA should be a consistent person who is meticulous with her work.
Scores in-charge (2 people, Sec 2 or 3)
The scores you receive every time we begin on a new piece are prepared by our scores in-charge! The CO library (in the tuning room, if you didn't know) is also organised by the scores in-charge. It's hard work to get all of the part scores copied out and printed for everyone, so you'll need some stamina to take up this post. Being able to read stave notation (五线谱) and transpose is also a plus.
Section Leaders (1 for each section + 1 ASL for Xianyue)
The section leaders are one of the most important roles in the CO! They oversee the administrative matters of the section, as well as their section's training, technical performance and welfare. SLs should be able to positively influence, motivate their sections and promote bonding amongst sections (+integrate the Sec 1s). (: They should also be responsible, efficient in disseminating information and constantly aware of what is going on in the section.

Student Conductor
The student conductor oversees the musical performance of the orchestra when our conductor is not around (e.g. conducting for open house, orientations etc) and conduct the tuning before every dazu. She is usually selected by Mrs Ee, but if you're interested, you could nominate yourself too.
Each and every role is very important! :) But all of the roles of sth in common:
LOVE NYCO <3
JIAYOUS FOR MUSICAL AND CONCERT!
NYCO ALL THE WAY!
