Hi!
We had an unofficial meeting on Monday, 16 November from 7.55am - 5pm. I'm sorry for this late post. Time was really tight so I had no time to post because we had 3 meetings this week! :0 Alright. Now for the details ..

We fell in at 7.55 and then changed out of our pinafores. The first half of the meeting would be dedicated to the Secondary1 Orientation Campfire Preparation followed by Secondary4 Farewell Preparation after lunch. It was all about PREPARATIONS! Haha. We split into our components and headed to our respective venues. I was glad because on that day, we had more Item-ians present! :) However, Ada and I knew that it was going to be tough because Natalie was absent, due to an upside down tummy! Which somehow meant that there would be less discipline .. :(

With more people present in Item, it was definitely much more easier to rehearse as we could see how the real characters perform and correct them if they made any mistakes. Besides rehearsing the skit, we also choreographed a few new moves for the song 'Caritas'. This was because we were going to dance in groups of 3 as there were 9 Item-ians. After that, we tried to choreograph the dance for 'One Family' but we just could not. Eventually, we decided to ask Natalie if we could change the song. She said to put it on hold first and focus on the skit and 'Caritas'.

Later, while we were taking a break, Kai Li and Nia came into the classroom and they wanted to see us perform the entire package : skit and dance. We then performed for them and they gave their comments after that, such as 'needing more facial expressions' and 'having more precise dance steps'. When they left, we tried rehearsing again, taking into account the PLs comments. It was better. Then, YA came and she also wanted to see our performance so we performed again. This time, comments given were different from what the PLs gave. She said our performance was CUTE. Haha. She even said that Charissa looked like the younger version of Charis! :0 All in all, she enjoyed it and that was relieving.

We continued to practice and before we knew it, lunch time came at 1.30! Yay! :) We had until 2.30 to eat and relax before the next set of preparations began. Soon, we fell in at 2.30 and were told to go to classrooms on the ground floor to practice. We had only 1hr to rehearse before showing the PLs our performance. This year, there was going to be lesser performances as we would only be having 3 patrol items. This was because Flowerpecker had combined with Sparrow, Oriole with Mynah (to form OMG patrol which stands for Oriole and Mynah the Greatest) and Dove with Kingfisher. However, Dove and Kingfisher only decided to combine during the last 10minutes so not much rehearsing could be done and we had nothing to show to the PLs. :(

Performance time came and we soon fell in at the Parade Square. We were told to get our props and come back quickly to start the performance. The first combined patrol to go was Flowerpecker and Sparrow but they could only perform for the first 10minutes before it started to rain so we all gathered in a classroom and the performance resumed. When it came to Dove and Kingfisher's turn to perform, we told the PLs that we weren't ready as we had just decided to combine and apologized. Kai Li then told us to go to the next classroom and we spent the rest of the meeting there, discussin and practicing.

However, we soon ran out of time as it was already 5pm and we had no idea how fast time had flown! Everyone then fell in at the empty space next to the Parade Square. Announcements were made such as having to collect our Anti-Drug Abuse badge and certificate from the den and remembering to bring disposable plastic water bottles. After that, we were dismissed.

Okie. I'm done here. Still have 2 more meetings to post.

May the rain stop, Melissa! :)
