The phantom

2012-02-12T21:31:00.000+08:00

hey choir (:

the links for the phantom of the opera songs are in the multimedia :D
the scenes are all from the movie, so it's kinda long, n not all parts are sung inside. The last song was super PG, so the actual clip is not up haha :p uall can search it online if uall interested.

and lastly! edmond found a choir link that is under the medley part! :) it is not the original piano accompaniment in our scores, but has the same singing parts.

CHOIR CHALET 2011!!!

2011-11-12T15:14:00.002+08:00

Heyo!

In case u are still unsure, we will be having our choir chalet on 14-16th Nov, that is, next Monday to Wednesday :)

It will be at Aloha Changi, below are the details:

FYI the price of the resort is not $214, but $321 because of some annoyingly stupid regulations -.-

Go to https://www.aloharesorts.com.sg/info/getting-there for more information on getting there.

If you want to go there alone (ie. not going as a group), please be there at terrace F by 5pm on Monday. If you are not sure how to get there, please meet at *EDIT: TAMPINES MRT station at 4pm, we will bring you there.

So here's what to bring:

Day 1: Wear 1 set of clothes, bring your PJs if you are staying overnight. Mosquito repellent (optional).

We don't have any planned activities for day 1, so its free time. You can go watch movies, bowling, Kbox, etc..so do bring sufficient money. Dinner for day 1 is NOT provided. Oh, rmb your toiletries too!

Day 2: 2 sets of clothing (1 set which you will wear, and the other set to change into when you get wet) , a bag that you can carry around, water bottle, sunblock (optional), sandals/ slippers (actually, you can come in these footwear so u need not specially bring it)

We have lots of games planned for day 2, so do come!!! Dinner is provided (BBQ). Breakfast and lunch are NOT provided, so bring your own money for that. If you are sleeping overnight for Day 2, you can wear the pajamas from day 1, I'm sure you're not that smelly -.-

Day 3: 1 set of clothes to wear home :) we will be checking out around late morning/ noon, so pack your bag the night before.

Here is what's REALLY important:

Bring $20 if you are coming. We will not let you enter if you do not pay up first!

Other things that you can bring: Poker cards and whatever card games you have, Majong set, DVD player and movie CDs, Large bottled drinks, Snacks, Cup noodles, and whatever else that can be eaten/ played.

If you have anything you don't understand or not sure, say it on the tag board and we'll answer you asap :)

Lastly, please confirm your attendance on the google spreadsheet sent to yall a long time ago by Darius. If you stated that you are coming, we will order BBQ for you and you will have to pay whether or not u turn up in the end.

SEE YOU THEN!
Jiran
