Hi Ladies

This is a message for All once-upon-a-time CGS Band members, so please help me pass this message on as I've only a limited number of your emails.

Those of us who 'bravely' attempted and played, after putting it off for sometime, (in some cases more than a decade - me!) - did have fun & a memorable time at the 2 Sept performance. It was really a very overwhelming feeling to see almost half of the 700 diners who attended cheered whenever pictures of the Band appeared on screen; and even louder when Ms Ho Ching highlighted Mr Lee's attendance at the dinner.

Though Mr Lee is not available to conduct the Alumni at this Nov's Musical Evening - he has entrusted this task to Samantha. If we can keep the Alumni Band going - Mr Lee will be more than glad to conduct us at future get-togethers.

I know we are all busy - so it won't be an ambitious attempt - we will just put up a one to three pieces performance. We will practise mainly on Saturdays in November. For a start - just to ascertain that we can put it together - can ALL of us who are keen or just want to try it out (the older girls) - please make time to meet next Sat (16 Sept) 9am, CGS Band Room, - we will try out the music that Sam has picked; go away with them and then decide on a schedule to make the Musical Evening possible.

We will not do much now, just meet once/twice in Sept - cos' those in JC will be preparing for their promos or end of year exams (so no meetings in Oct) - then we will meet weekly on Sat in Nov.

For the current Sec4s (Emily/Huda: pls help to pass message): You will join us only after your last O level paper in Nov.

Hope to see you!
