Cops & Robbers.

ATTENTION ATTENTION! As the ELDS Arts Leader, I'd like to comment about the progress of the musical after what we've all heard from Mr Wong this morning.

There's no denial that we are lagging behind and not improving a single bit since months ago when we received the script for the Sound of Music. Mr Elias is currently very upset that we possess such awful behaviour especially towards an important musical that costs lots of money and time. If any of you, who wishes to skip meetings and rehearsals without a valid reason, please do inform the teachers and tell them you're not interested at all. We are at the risk of losing this whole musical just because of one or two constant absentees. I do not wish to say any names and embarrass anyone, but please, you know who you are and if you are willing to commit, then please attend the meetings and rehearsals on time.

Anyone who has tutorials and extra classes after school and it clashes with the rehearsal time, please inform the Drama teachers and they'll settle it for you. If the teachers do not want to release you from class, contact any one of the Drama Club members or me if you have my number and we'll inform Mdm Asrina, Mrs Lian or Ms Nas. Do not wait until you enter the cabin late and say your excuse for being late. You need to inform someone from ELDS a.s.a.p so they can help you be excused early from class.

For those who attended the rehearsals constantly, I thank you for being very responsible in attending it every week. Once you're there, you will please rehearse your lines and practise it with someone even before the teachers come in. The cabin will be opened early from 3.30pm so you have plenty of time to look through your lines. When Mr Elias is rehearsing with a group, the rest of you mustn't make any noise and watch the rehearsal. It's basic manners. Everyone must pay attention and be prepared when their lines are about to come. No one is to meddle with phones in one corner and not pay attention. If you want to rehearse a scene while another scene is going on, please do it outside the cabin. That way it will not distract anyone.

I strongly advise each one of you who has lines to keep rehearsing in front of the mirror and for those singing, to listen to the songs again and again to get the tune right. We mustn't make Mr Elias and anyone else upset and disappointed because this musical is a huge event for the school. I will talk to all of you about the rules in the cabin again at the next rehearsal before Mr Elias comes in.

In other news, Maria, Capt. Von Trapp and the Von Trapp children are to be prepared for the photoshoot for the publicity. Please listen to morning announcements from Monday onwards for any meetings and whatnot. Costumes have been received and will be tried on. Photoshoot date is still tentative.

Please do not forget to let your parents sign the consent forms for the rehearsal schedules. Any further clarifications, please contact me or any one of the teachers if you have their numbers. Forms will be collected on Monday.

Qistina Urie :D
