I AM BLOGGING

just trying to make the blog a little more alive!

OH! i've read the evaluations you guys did.. well, i think we'll need to do some follow up.. so well, i'll return them to you guys, and maybe you could meet some of them one on one to discuss and talk to them, maybe ask them what they think of themselves as choir members etc. If you don't know what i'm atlking about ask your prefect friends, somethingl ike that! hahahaha just not as scary lah. The purpose is to tell them honestly what they can improve on and ENCOURAGE them if they've been doing well, yup!

and do rememeber to help your section when they need help with music. esp with new scores and all, we have Nocturne coming up soon.. soo right now work on REQUIEM (wooohoo) and Close up of a Daisy.. as well as the songs we're singing with SYC.. don't forget old scores too.

toodles guys.
God bless
