Urgent: Dismissal arrangement for OPOM

Dear Choir Members,
Please note that for the coming 27 and 28/6/14, OPOM,there are some changes advised by the organizer.
The new dismissal plan:
All Nan Hua choir members will go back to school by the bus provided by the organizer, all parents will fetch their children from school.

"Pick-up Point for Parents

In our traffic advisory dated 23 May 2014, we had mentioned that we will designate a meeting point near OCBC ARENA, our participant holding area, for parents who intend to pick up their children from Sports Hub. After much deliberation with the relevant authorities, with the children’s safety in mind, it is decided that there will be no pick-up point at Sports Hub for parents to fetch their children after the events on 27 & 28 June.

The police advised that the students should take the chartered transport back to schools if they are not dismissed on-site to take public transport home.

As there will be no parking space available in the vicinity for private cars and we are expecting close to 30,000 spectators at Sports Hub on concert day, it will be more convenient and straightforward  for parents to fetch their children from the respective schools instead. Each participating group from schools will be dismissed as a whole once the teacher(s)-in-charge confirm that all students in the group are present and are ready to board the bus(es). If a parent were to fetch his/her child from Sports Hub, a teacher definitely must stay with the child until the parent arrives. By not having a pick-up point for parents on-site, we can avoid the situation whereby the whole group has to be held back while waiting for parents to pick up some of the students."

今天领到新制服了！

同学们好！
好多同学今天领到了新制服。
请你们带回家清洗的时候，注意以下事项：
1.尽量用几滴沐浴露放在一盆水里清洗衣服，避免使用太强的清洁剂，不要使用漂白剂。
2.尽量手洗，都是新衣服，不可能太脏的。用洗衣机担心会把蕾丝弄坏。
3.尽量室内晾干，用低温烫裙子。
4.裙子上腰部左侧应该有玫瑰花的装饰。请尽可能让妈妈帮你用纽扣订在裙子上，那么，玫瑰花才不会下垂。
5.里面要穿tutu(内衬)，最好穿上丝袜，不然你们可能会觉得痒痒的。
6.男生的红腰封，如果太松，叫请妈妈订一个纽扣，到时就方便多了。
7.男生的裤子可能太长，不要剪掉，尽量折好缝起来，到时张高了可以放长一点。剪掉后变成太短时，就得买新的了。

Only Boys Aloud

老师找到这个视频。这群男孩子当时在参加英国的才华面试。

请你们看看他们在唱歌的时候，脸上的表情是多么生动，全神贯注献出美妙的歌声。

让人激赏不已的小小音乐家

以下片段是苏老师要给同学们分享的精彩片段。

视频中的小女孩听见合唱团在练习时，不自觉地投入在美妙的歌声中，甚至配合曲子来指挥。可见欣赏音乐是无国界、年龄之分的。
这就是最自然的，发自内心的去感知音乐之美啊！
希望你们也像视频中的小女孩，放开自己，陶醉在优美的曲子里，让音乐引领你们走向美的世界。
愿与所有的合唱团员共勉。
