A new Youtube account has been created to facilitate the viewing of videos under the NgeeAnnSecCO account:

Username: nascotic

Please obtain the password from our chairman and DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT change the password or reveal it to anyone who is not from NASCO. Strictly for us to review our own performance so the content is highly sensitive.

Anyway, latest videos uploaded are

• An audio clip of the river, and
• A full Zheng, albeit stitched up by bits and pieces of audio clips recorded during dazu today. Log in to listen to the differences between our first attempt and today’s!

HOW TO VIEW

1. Log in to nascotic.
2. Click on ‘NASCOtic’ at top right hand corner > My Inbox
3. Click on ‘Shared with you’ in the left column. At the moment, you should see SIX msgs, which means NgeeAnnSecCO is sharing SIX private videos with NASCOtic.
4. Click on the message heading and there will be a hyperlink to the video.
5. CLICK on the hyperlink.

Best listened with your headphones/earphones worn. You need to be able to listen very keenly with minimum background noise.

PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEOS. Can’t emphasize enough the importance of reviewing and learning through our mistakes. We are not blind mice nor froggies in the wells!

Pre-Tapestry Preparations

1. Performance attire

• Yellow Blazer
  • Ask for one from Crystal if you have yet to
• White long-sleeved shirt with a stiff buttoned-up collar
• New school tie
• Black dress pants (NO skinnies/denim)
• Black socks (your socks can be seen when you are seated!)
• Black shoes (NO converse)
  • Dress shoes for guys (Go google ‘Men’s Dress Shoes’)
  • Covered flat shoes for girls (okay to have a little heel if you really can’t find flats)

2. Ticket sales

If you’re still holding on to money from the sale of the tickets or you need more tickets, please approach Mrs Wee.

3. Stage Presence

Please keep in mind that YOU are the very reason why your friends and family are attending OUR concert, so it is up to YOU to move them with the music you play! In the days leading up to the concert, you have practised hard, got many scoldings from Guo Lao Shi and instructors and returned home exhausted with the many self-pracs. You will only let your effort go down the drain by looking stoned on stage! You are young and full of life!!! SHOW THAT YOU ARE ALIVE LAH.

—

There’ll be more announcements in the days leading up to the concert. So check out this space some time midweek.

CO tee – second poll required

Hi everyone! The black cotton polo tee emerged the victor and after considering the budget, we’ll go with the usual polo tee collar instead. At the moment the CO tee will cost about $13 per pc. Our welfare managers, Crystal and Yiqi, will be collecting your tee sizings soon (the same as your school PE tee sizings, which is in numerical form)

So now we need you to vote again, on where you want the piping (the yellow line thingy) to be. After all it’s going to be our casual performance attire so the usual plain black polo is… somewhat too plain.

CO Tee!

Hi everyone! We’re finally going to get a CO tee, which will double up as the attire for casual/outdoor performances. Leave a comment to offer some constructive feedback or suggestions if possible 🙂

We need a budget estimate and we also have to decide the material and between the yellow or the black tee. Also, (not shown in the pictures) the word ‘musician’ will be printed on one of the sleeves. Please take note that the material will affect the cost of the tee (though at the moment I have no idea whether dri-fit or cotton is cheaper)

Front logo – embroidered
Back graphic and text on sleeve – silkscreen-printed

The collar will look something like this. Cast your sacred vote now and vote wisely!

Thanks Shufang for the back graphic design!

樂●舞 by Arts Sphere Chamber Ensemble

Will be able to get a bulk discount for 10 tickets or more 🙂 Please inform Ms Lim or your SLs by 24 June 2010 (June Hols W4, thurs) if you’re interested to attend. Highly recommended for the sections whose instruments are featured cos Arts Sphere is an award-winning ensemble which has garnered many accolades both locally and internationally!

乐 ● 舞
Dance and Music are two forms of art believed to have shared origins. Traditional Folk Music have acted as accompaniment to festive ceremonies and celebrations. Minuets and French gigues have been court dance music during the Baroque era, while modern Tangos and Foxtrots ruled the roaring 20’s dance floors.

Arts Sphere Chamber Ensemble presents three of their best musicians, Chua Yew Kok, Adrian Wee, and Tan Qing Lun (NASCO alumnus!) on the Pipa, Erhu and Dizi, forming a trio to explore these dance music in a refreshing new style. Playing a wide range of genres ranging from traditional Chinese tribal dances to Piazzolla’s Tangos, let the Arts Sphere Chamber Ensemble Trio get your feet dancing with “Dance. Music”.

Pipa: Chua Yew Kok
Erhu: Wee Kuan Chieh Adrian
Dizi/Xiao: Tan Qing Lun

Venue: The Arts House
Date: 27 June 2010 (Sunday)
Ticket Price: $20
