Hey!
We had an unofficial meeting last week, 6 January, from 2.45pm - 5.45pm. It was supposed to be from 2.30 - 5.30 but because assembly would be ending at 2.10, we had to have enough time for lunch so the time was pushed up by 15 minutes.

We fell in at 2.45 and reported strength. Dove had FULL STRENGTH! :D Whoo-hoo! Haha. We then changed out of our pinafores and fell in again. After that, we were told to separate into our various components and start the intensive preparation. But meanwhile, Cheryl and Pamela wanted the PSes to hand in all consent forms that were due. Following that, Item immediately went to get our props and costumes. For once, EVERY Item-ian was present! Yay! :D

We then proceeded to bring down the podiums from the band room. Luckily, we had everyone present so work was sped up significantly. Natalie wanted us to bring down all 10 podiums in half an hour, so we were racing against time! As the last few podiums were being transported down, we got really tired so Natalie gave us a break and asked some Firepitters who were free to come help carry the podiums. Joycelyn helped to carry 1 of them with 3 other people and she was 'oofing and uffing' and complaining how heavy it was. I offered to help but Natalie told me to let Joycelyn carry it. Haha. Poorthing!

When the stage was ready, we began to rehearse and things went rather smoothly. We started with non-full dress rehearsal followed by full dress and also practiced hard on the dance steps, ensuring that we could remember every step. It was very tiring but we still persevered as we knew the end result would be rewarding. Everyone was busy with their own preparations. Firepitters stacking the firewood and soaking them, Structure girls tying their newly-designed structure, Backdroppers making sure their backdrop was ready and last but not least, Item girls rehearsing non-stop with a couple of water breaks now and then.

Soon, it was 5.oopm so some components started clearing up while the rest continued practicing for a little while more. When everything was cleared, majority of the people went to an empty classroom to wait for the wallets bag while the Item girls continued to transport back the last few podiums. Some of us had no idea that everyone was in the classroom so we waited at the parade square corridor while the rest continued to bring up the last podium. Suddenly, we heard Cheryl shouting and realised that it was meant for us. She said," Do you know that everyone is waiting for you?! What are you doing here?! Hurry up!" That got us scrambling to our feet and rushing to the classroom.

Once everyone was present, Kai Li gave us a brief brief, (haha), telling us the Camp Kit List for Friday's overnight stay. When all was done, we were dismissed from the classroom as it was raining and we had no time to fall in because we had delayed by about 10min so it was getting late.

Here. I'm finished. I know I've not posted for at least a week so i apologise for the late posts. School reopen has been crazy for me and i'm sure, everyone too. Sorry.

With rays of sunshine, Melissa! :)
