Every Sunday - Recital Hall, Bukit Batok Community Club, 10am to 1pm
As Mr Tan mentioned, it would be good if you all take the time off on Sunday to come down and brush up on your skills. It would definitely be a worthwhile experience. The repertoire is almost similar as RPCO's.
Anyone lacking out of the necessary scores, please approach me or the other commitee members for them. Please be punctual for CO practices and i hope you all wont be absent without a valid reason. =D
Everyone please prepare a BLACK FILE with your scores inside, as we will only bring up black coloured files on stage.
Costume, we will reconfirm. We will be collecting your costume sizes this coming tuesday.
If your instruments have any problem, please approach Mr Tan immediately!
Please take note for students taking their Graded Exams in NAFA at the end of the year:
Exams are during 23rd November 2009 - 28 November 2009.
Bring along admission slips, your respective grade's exam book, and your instrument.
Be prepared, all the best! =D
There are many performances and events lined up for us! I know we can do this together CO mates! Lets do the best we can! =D Gambate, RPCO!
Your dear chairman,
Randal Lim, aka Randaru. =D
P.S.: Let your fingers/hands run along the instrument, let your mind blow away as your eyes view the scores, follow the lead of the conductor, and feel the music within you.
