[EDIT EDIT: For the benefit of those who don't know, the ties must be plain coloured. Thanks. Therefore, no school ties are allowed.]
[EDIT: There's one small shop that sells ties along TAMPINES INTERCHANGE, just outside "This Fashion", you guys can consider getting your ties from there, I think it's selling at $3 to $5.]
DRESSCODE FOR UPCOMING PERFORMANCE AT VIVOCITY ON 25TH JULY.
Dresscode: Full Black Costume with Respective Coloured Ties.
I believe the Sec2s and Sec3s, you should know what it means.
For those who don't know what it means, it is:
1. Black long sleeve shirt/blouse with collar (no 3/4 allowed)
2. Black long pants (no 3/4, skinnies, jeans,leggings allowed)
3. Black court shoes (for girls) and black shoes (for boys) (no other shoes except those 2 mentioned are allowed)
This should be easy to get. Haha. You can ask your 'experienced' seniors if you have any questions.
Ties:
Bowed strings: Blue
Plucked strings: Red
Woodwind: Green
Cello Bass: Purple
Percussion: Yellow/Orange
How to get them?
Option 1: Borrow from your graduated Sec4s seniors/alumnis (Alumni should be wearing white ties.)
Option 2: Buy it yourself.
Recommended place to get cheap and good ones: Raffles Place, Arcade Centre, Second Floor, the tie shop is opposite POSB bank, selling at $5.
Option 3: Send an sms to JINGJIE (which is me), or tag on the CO blog, including your name, section and your tie colour in the message or tag AND I'll get the respective ties for you. (Payment will be made at a later date.)
This costume you will have to use it again for your entire CO life, which means until you graduate, so don't worry you will not wear it just once.

THE JUDGES' COMMENTS :D (Sorry they're in chinese, lol.)
ENJOY :D
第一位评委：指定曲希望加强二胡、高胡的高把位音准训练。自选曲速度转换时乐队有点乱，要特别注意指挥预示的速度。
第二位评委：演奏规范，训练有素，乐队声音控制较好，声部较均衡。音乐层次丰富，有一定张力，音乐流畅、通顺，能较好发挥作品风格。希望强化乐队基本功的训练，加强准确度（音准、节奏和整齐度），挖掘作品内涵。乐队唢呐声部段突出精彩。
第三位评委：演奏激情有气势，乐队整体技术及音色比较统一，低声部略不和谐，整体音准尚可。两首基本相同。
第四位评委：乐队训练有素，声部控制平衡，是队好乐队。自选曲的演奏相当完整而有表现力，有些专业水平。
第五位评委：指定曲－夏日炎炎，蝉声时远时近，懒洋洋的感觉，有序的层层推进，不同声部的穿插，快板段的鲜明对比，非常流畅的感觉。
自选曲－飘飘欲仙，腾空而起，朴实却又深情的旋律，鲜明的对比，自然顺畅的段落交接，令人动情的起伏，很有实力。各个声部的演奏，勾画了一幅“飞天”的图画。

Hi all.
In view of the H1N1 situation, tomorrow's (Saturday, 6th june) practice will be cancelled.
However, there is still practice next tuesday. And from next tuesday onwards, students who come for CCA must bring thermometer. Temperature taking exercise will be held in your respectice sections. Thus it is the job of the SICs (Sectionals-in-charge) to organise your section on that day.
SICs, kindly pass this message to ALL the members in your section and ensure that they have received this message.
Also, ALL the saturdays practice will be changed to thursday, 1 to 4pm only for this june holiday. In conclusion, for this june holiday, practices will be held on tuesday (refer to schedule) and thursday (1 to 4pm).
Due to the H1N1 situation, students who go back to school on saturdays will have to be screened. We'll have to queue and this is quite troublesome. Hence, saturday practices are changed to thursday, only for this june holiday.
By the way, our instructors will be back next tuesday.
Seeya! Keep yourself fit and healthy! Drink lots of water!! :D

THE ORCHESTRA
Temasek Secondary Chinese Orchestra (TMSCO) was established in the 2000.
It expanded from a plucked string ensemble to a full-fledged orchestra in the year 2001.
Under the baton of Mr Cheng Chung Hsien, TMSCO enjoyed a successful flight achieving promising results in the SYF Central Judging between April 2002 to September 2008.
Now having Mr Liu Bin leading this army, TMSCO will definitely continue to strive for excellence and is determined to scale to even greater heights.
