Hey ppl.. here's what we have discussed in our meeting on 30th Dec 06

Evaluation of 2006

AJ Alumni choir is officially formed and it is under the wings of AJCAA.

Events which the alumni choir took part in.
1) AJ choir concert 2006
2) Mid Autumn Festival
3) Collaboration with Budak Pantai (NAC Ceremony)
4) Carolling at SGH
5) Carolling at Ngee Ann City

Agenda For 2007

1) New Post in the Exco (Logis; Publicity)

To help in the admin stuff and also to help in sourcing for carolling deals and other performing opportunities.
Publicity will have to do up a proposal for caroling and portfolio of AJ Alumni choir.

2) Buxtehude Concert on 2nd March 2007(Friday) at Kampong Kapor Church

It is a joint collaboration with Amadeus Society and AJ alumni choir is required to send 6 to 8 committed ppl to participate in this concert. There is no ticket sales involved in this concert. The revenue of the concert comes from the donations of the ppl attending the concert. The church can house 300 to 400 ppl. More details of the concert has been posted in the previous post. People who are interested in this event will have to reply by 2nd Jan 2007 12 pm via tag on the blog or sms to whee geok or peiying.

3) Performance For Changi Airport in March 2007

The Alumni choir will be performing for one of the slots in between the prize presentation. The choir will be performing for 15 minutes (roughly 3 to 4 songs). The repertoire should consist of happy and lively songs. (Music comm. make a list of 10 songs for the organiser to choose)
The performance will most likely be an evening slot.
It will be on 2nd March 2007(Fri).
Number of performers required: about 12 to 16ppl (below 20)
Practices will still be on saturdays.

Problems if the performance is on 2nd March 2007
-Alumni choir will have to split into 2 groups, one will participate in the Buxtehude concert and the other will perform for this event.
--> the bonding within the alumni maybe affected.

For those who wants to take part in the Buxtehude concert and the performance for Changi Airport will have to attend practices on both Saturday (most prob AMK CC) and Sunday.
Hence, it maybe too hectic for them.

Wan Song will be the point of contact for this event.

4) AJ choir Concert 2007

The dates are not confirmed, it will be either on 16th April 2007 (Monday) or 20th April 2007 (Friday) at Esplanade. Most of the alumni members are affected by the exams. The repertoire will most likely be the songs which we will be singing for the performance for Changi Airport.

5) Cultural Night by AJCAA (18th August 2007)

Main Theme : “AJ Spirit”, Heritage “Hanging in the air”
Duration: 1hr + 15 min interval + 1 hr OR 1h 30min continuous
Ticket price: $10
Seating capacity: 500

Performing groups(confirmed):
Choir
CO
CLDDS
Dance

AJCAA proposed to have a musical and ELDDS will do all the linking of the storyline.
We proposed that we should do our own individual performance as we may not have the time to meet up with the other groups and we may not have enough man power. Also, the musical may turn out to be cheap and tacky.

1st Tech Run will take place in june after our study break. which means tt by then our songs shld be ready.

The details of the Cultural Night will be finalized in 2 weeks’ time (13 Jan 2007).

6) June: Mini-Celebration

Proposed idea: 3 day 2 nite chalet and bbq.
will have to wait for a few ppl to check out the rates (SAF chalet or aloha chalet)

7) August to Dec

Learn new Christmas songs and also to take on any adhoc CC events
caroling- must start to source earlier (start in July 07)
Try not to get open air and also not to inflate the rates for the sessions.
Try to obtain 4 to 5 caroling sessions.

8) Performance at Esplanade

Most probably we will take up the performance in the 2nd half of 2007 or 2008.
Wan Song will be the point of contact

9) Internal

Everyone in the music comm. will get a chance to be the SC so as to bring out their full potential.
