Performance Day - 11th September 2011

Dear Parents,

I'm sure you're very excited about watching our young violinists and cellists in action next Sunday, 11th September at the Singapore Conference Hall (SCH)! I am pleased to announce that tickets to the performance are now available for purchase at $15 each at our school's general office. If you are interested in being a part of the audience, you may purchase the tickets via the Strings Ensemble by indicating the number of tickets required on the order sheet which we will be giving your child, as well as attaching the necessary payment.

As for the rehearsal, the boys are required to assemble in the library at 12.30pm on the performance day. They are to wear our ensemble t-shirt, black pants, black shoes and socks. They will only change into their performance attire after their dinner at SCH.

Should you have any queries, do feel free to approach us teachers.

Best regards,

Miss Nurul

1. Schedule.

On Wednesday and Thursday (3rd & 4th August), you will be dismissed from class at 12:45pm to have your lunch in the canteen. Assemble at the school porch at 1:15pm so we can board the bus and leave for TRCC. We will be back in school at 6:30pm.

On Saturday, 6th August, you are to report in school, at the school porch at 1pm. Make sure you have your lunch prior to that as the rehearsal will be in full swing once we arrive at TRCC. We will arrive back in school at 9:15pm and that will be the start of your much needed weekend.

2. Attire.
