Email to Parents - Thank You!
Email below has been recently sent to parents. However, due to bounced mails, it has been posted on the blog. Please inform your parents about it. Thanks.
Dear Parents,
We would once again like to thank you for your support in Dramafest 2008 last night. The hall was fully booked with 2 front row seats occupied by 1G's parents and their families. It was a night to remember.
Congratulations to you and our G-kens on our win as Best Play and Best Set. Kudos to you and your families for your undying support and committment with us throughout this every tiring period of trainings and rehearsals, your loud cheers and applause for our play last night.
I would like to thank parents like Melinda and Eunice who had taken time off to attend our trainings and to provide encouragement and feedback to our boys, or have helped out as make up artist. Jacob's mom, who have very generously bought fast food snacks for the boys during their trainings and parents who have so kindly supported behind the scenes at home with training their sons in dramatization. Thanks, Gloria, my dearest AFT who have also brought donuts for the boys' hungry tummies and to all, who have helped out one way or another.
The next upcoming event to look forward to, is the 1G Class Parent-Son Championships which will be held on the 23rd May, last day of school at approx. 2pm. With our wins in best play and set, we have earned ourselves $100 that will be used to subsidise this event. More details will be provided in early May, and we hope to see you there.
Once again, thank you for your generous support and participation.
Til then, take care and have a great weekend.

Hi Guys,
CONGRATULATIONS on your win as best play and best set. I am sooooo PROUD of you, actors, backstage crew and props, lights and sound crew. Remember what I said? All your roles are of equal importance.. and all of you can make or break the play. You know what? You did it!!!
I have seen you guys grow and seriously even tho you can't tell.. I wanted you to know that the class dynamics are improving because of you guys, how you co-operate and work together in synergy. I am sure this was the reason for your win altogether. "There is no I in teamwork" and you have learnt that. I am so proud, coz this is what I really call, "brotherhood".
I have observed how Ren Jie improve as an actor into what he acted today... you have improved leaps and bounds Renjie and even your parents are sooooo proud.. they were not sure ifyou could make it.. but you did.. and you proved everybody that you can be timid and shy... yet nasty as a hag!!!! ;p Hansel... you were really a great choice as lead and you are so good with your acting and words, such a natural.. Ah gu was of coz everyone's favourite.. and as i thot you'll be expressionless with no face.. but that of a cow.. I thot you will have no emotions.. I was so wrong... coz your fat body did all that talking and the body language said it all. Thanks for hiding in that sauna suit, deon. ;p My dearest market pple... everyone's been telling me how great that scene was... and that how that synergy was so seen inthat market with all that buzz buzz and multi racial cohesiveness.. fantastic coordination.. you gave time to walk out and in etc. You were well heard.. Aunty Poh butt was really shaking.. I was chanting "shake shake shake" in the lights room and almost fainted during the play watching those boobs.. laugh til faint.. hahaha... ;p I hope you had alot of fun touching those jiggly stuff.. ;p Sound and lights pple.. props aunty darren.. thanks for everything.. all that stress might scare you off drama ever and ever.. but let me say this.. not everyone gets a chance in the control room.. so your experience is oncein a lifetime.. ;p you guys are great. You have put the pieces of the jigsaw together.. job well done!
Have a gd rest pple.. You deserve it.. and like i said.. the experiences and bonds you built with each other.. the moments together.. the little bday party we had today.. are PRICELESS moments that we'll keep with us for a lifetime.
In memories we are rich. (Gonna load the pictures by end of next week.. ;p)

Email to Parents - "THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING"
*** The email was sent to your parents this morning had been put up below for bounced mails. Pls inform your parents to read. Thanks guys.
Dear Parents,
1G and I would like to thank you for purchasing the tickets to the dramafest 2008 which will be held at the Jubilee Hall, Raffles Hotel this coming friday.
To date, a total of approximately 30 tickets have been snapped up just for supporters from family and friends. (Including my cast andbackstage crew, will make a total of about 60-70 attendees supporting the class!!!!)
For most of you, I have reserved the front rows seats where most of youwill have a clear view of your child's performance during the play.(Some of you might have to position yourself at a slight angle, if you have gotten the sides though. ;p)
I must say that I am very elated with the good response from the show,and the support we are all getting from the parents. The tickets forthe entire hall are almost sold out and I am sure the boys will put up a show that will be edged in our minds for the longest time. Mostimportantly, they have learnt something about the role they have indrama (whether they are props maker/movers, lights and sound manager oreven makeup artists ;p), have the exposure and have experienced interesting events, stress, time management, and have forged strong friendships and a sense of belonging for their class during this period.
Behind the scenes, (I'll be putting up some interesting clips by May offunny uncut videos of their rehearsals on the blog.)the boys haveworked EXTREMELY hard for this production. Many of them have sacrificedmore than 3/4 of their 1 week vacation to rehearse and havesince stayed back after school 2-3 times weekly to practice and make the necessary props. (On top of their CCAs, competitions andother committments.)I have seen how these boys progressed, some shy andtimid when they started out, to excellent voice projection andconfidence, from being rowdy and inattentive to being focused and forthe backstage crew who were initially clueless about music and lights, props etc... they all learnt lots and began to think of the box, solving difficult situations.
I must say that the boys have matured and have definitely learnt some form of lifeskills (like perserverance, time and stress management etc) in the process of their preparation in this play.
I, once again, like to THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT for 1G and am looking forward to meeting you this friday at Jubilee Hall.
Til then, take care and have a gd week ahead. Nil Sine Labore.

Good Job!
Dear Dramafest pple...
Good efforts for the performance today. We, however, need to modify some scenes to make it better. For now, at least you guys have a feel of the stage and you'll need to figure your positioning when you are acting. Be aware and be alert as you might need to respond depending on your peer's reaction etc etc.
Props wise... there were many hiccups.
Eg. Mom did not take back the feather duster, Jin did not remove his clothes from scene and mat etc. Forgot to place the props at the correct positions, forgot where the props were at, lost of props like stick and holey shoe!!!!! etc etc. (Bad!)
The Drama Club will be helping us to make some props for the set up: Namely, the beanstalk so that you can really climb it using a ladder, Giant's house so that we can stick the sweets on literally and pluck from it, modify the hawker stalls and improve its colour.
I need all your costumes modified too. Only brightly coloured clothes pls. So if you have something really dull coloured and drab, pls have it changed. Multicoloured t shirts for different pple. It'll be looking like a real fairy tale land.
Acting...
Eg 1. Mom forgot lines at the sweet picking part... forgot that you are supposed to bring cow to Jin at stage front, not call him to the back. Mom supposed to do exaggerated skirt pulling up when climbing and also forgot your exits. Can be bigger in actions and louder in voice.
Eg 2. Jin always forgetting your positions on stage and moving towards the sides. Supposed to turn while sleeping. Forgot to place sweets on stage left. Looking v lost at some points. Clothes were not thrown out.
Eg 3. Market pple at 2nd time out, passerbys enter first!!! Wrong. Always let hawkers out first.
Go back think of your lines and practice aloud. I need to be able to hear you and the buzzing sounds of the market.
Pple with no costumes, I need you to see me with them on monday. Complete set.
Note: There will be another run at the Auditorium next friday. All to be present. Full dress rehearsal at Jubilee Hall on 17th and 18th April. You'll be excused from CCA, pls inform your teachers and parents. Stage at Jubilee Hall is bigger than the stage we have at the Audi.
Ok .... TGIF again!!!!
Yippeee... remember, practice practice practice.
Have a great weekend.

The Drama Club will be helping us to make some props for the set up: Namely, the beanstalk so that you can really climb it using a ladder, Giant's house so that we can stick the sweets on literally and pluck from it, modify the hawker stalls and improve its colour.
I need all your costumes modified too. Only brightly coloured clothes pls. So if you have something really dull coloured and drab, pls have it changed. Multicoloured t shirts for different pple. It'll be looking like a real fairy tale land.
Acting...
Eg 1. Mom forgot lines at the sweet picking part... forgot that you are supposed to bring cow to Jin at stage front, not call him to the back. Mom supposed to do exaggerated skirt pulling up when climbing and also forgot your exits. Can be bigger in actions and louder in voice.
Eg 2. Jin always forgetting your positions on stage and moving towards the sides. Supposed to turn while sleeping. Forgot to place sweets on stage left. Looking v lost at some points. Clothes were not thrown out.
Eg 3. Market pple at 2nd time out, passerbys enter first!!! Wrong. Always let hawkers out first.
Go back think of your lines and practice aloud. I need to be able to hear you and the buzzing sounds of the market.
Pple with no costumes, I need you to see me with them on monday. Complete set.
Note: There will be another run at the Auditorium next friday. All to be present. Full dress rehearsal at Jubilee Hall on 17th and 18th April. You'll be excused from CCA, pls inform your teachers and parents. Stage at Jubilee Hall is bigger than the stage we have at the Audi.
Ok .... TGIF again!!!!
Yippeee... remember, practice practice practice.
Have a great weekend.

Dramafest rehearsal tomorrow (1st & 2nd Period)
Hi Guys,
Your PE teacher will be busy with the preparation of the Sports Day and hence, will not be around for your lessons. Hence, I will be taking over the class and you'll be performing to the rest of the class as well as, to some other teachers who are experienced in Drama at the auditorium.
Reminders:
1. Pls bring all your props and costumes.
2. Rehearse your lines tonight and practice, practice, practice!
3. Come in earlier tomorrow morning to practice and throw lines to one another. Recall what we did previously and the changes that were made esp. at the market place.
4. Props that are currently not available... (Darren to note, SEEK HELP IF YOU CANNOT MANAGE.) :
- 'Kachang Puteh' cones (12 pieces)
- Container (for kachang puteh)
- Satay sticks (20 pieces)
- Black box for puppet beanstalk (1 painted after wrapping with newspaper)
- axe (rewrapped with aluminium foil)
- Rope (leash for cow)
5. All are to help out Darren pack your costumes and props neatly and labelled.
I hope the rehearsal will turn out well tomorrow. You guys have been rehearsing and frankly, It looks good to me already, we just need to piece some loose ends together. So let's treat this run seriously and see how well we can do and how better we can improve to win the dramafest2008!
See ya tomorrow then. ;p

DramaFest Tickets are on Sale!!
Dear 1G (and parents),
The tickets for the drama fest 2008 are finally on sale. I have since reserved the best seats in the house for you. Tickets reserved are based on the ones I have taken account of (Mainly the actors), 20 tickets in total. Each ticket cost $10 (reason why it is alittle expensive is because it is staged in Jubilee Hall @ The Raffles Hotel.)
The date of the event is on the 18th April 2008 (There is a little typo error in the newsletter. My apologies for that.) It is a friday night. Plays will be held in the evening at approximately 6pm.
All actors and props/ lights/ sound pple will be required to report in the morning for rehearsal. This will be carried on til the evening when the actual performance is staged. It is a competition for the supposed dramafest title, hence, only the best is expected. ;p I will let you guys know more in time to come.
Those who have reserved the tickets, please kindly pay for them by the end of the week and I can then hand you the tickets personally and allow you to acknowledge your receipt of the tickets.
Reminder: Next drama fest rehearsal will be held on this coming friday, immediately after school. We'll do it before sports day events in the afternoon. ALL MUST BE PRESENT as there will be an audience to view the play.
Thanks and have a great week ahead.
