AJHB! You guys did great! (;
It doesn't matter what others say, what others think.
It's what YOU think that matters ;D

I must say that we became more bonded (section dinners, lunches and everyth!)
All the efforts put in are worthwhile (;
You guys improved alot during the intensive practices period! It's not the award that matters, it's the learning process, the improvement (:
But we can't just throw away what we've learnt! We still have 25th ann. concert rmb? (;

GOOD NEWS: (in case you havent received the phone relay):
Our teachers are very kind to call off the upcoming wed practice (for J2s) (;
Many (or all) of us have numerous tests (CHEM SPA!) the coming week! );
So you guys got to make full use of the extra time to study hard but rmb to REST WELL! :D
You guys deserve a break ;D

Gear up for the upcoming 25th anniversary performanceee! ;D
Go AJ harmockees!
All the best for your tests & SPA! :D
Jiayou!

To our dearest seniors who sacrificed their precious time to come back to help us & give us their support: THANK YOU VERY MUCH (; You guys have been a great help to us, really (;
You taught us things we never knew of, you told us mistakes we didn't know we made.
Thank You!

2009-04-19T21:10:00.002+08:00

Hope you guys get the cha-cha feeling (;
Rmb it's a love story, though our version is not the super sad version.
But still, it's not a fighting battle song!
Dearest harmockees, let's jiayou tgt ok! :D
It's our final lap, let's put in our most! (:
Cherish & Enjoy!

11 MORE DAYS!

(Gold? Your aim, OUR Goals)

Before we can touch people with our music, we must touch ourselves.
在我们能感动大家之前,我们必须感动自己.
Add your emotions into the music. (:

Farewell party photos (:

Bye Seniors and all the best for your A level :D

farewell harmoc!

2008-06-04T01:34:00.003+08:00

hi everyone!

i am reluctant to remove myself from the author of this blog. but i need to soon. so probably before i were to remove all our names from the author list of this blog, just wanna say a lil emo stuff...

it was just like yesterday when we all started playing our very first tune using the harmonica. really! we started off from not know each other and everyone just too shy to talk to this very day where we get to know each other and really bonded like how a band should be. well, we have come a long way since last years. i am sure that, at least for myself, i never regret joining harmoc. and i am sure the j2s would say the same things as well. right?

today the 0708 exco and music comm officially handed all our jobs to the j1s. at 12pm, we had our final meeting (and probably the first meeting for new batch of j1s) together in the harmoc room. there is a reason why it was in the harmoc room - it seemed to have become a tradition that the handing over meeting will be in the harmoc room. sitting down in the harmoc room today, it was a lil emo for me, cos it was just like yesterday when we had our first meeting with our seniors and they were bombarding us with all the things we need to take note of in the future. and now we are the seniors. one year has passed and it was too fast...

anywayz, all the best for your SYF next yr! you all MUST achieve a GOLD award. this is not a proposal. it is a requirement! so jiayou! and work hard for your coming lunchtime concert! we are very sure that you all will put up a good performance this time round! and rmb to contact us when we graduate so that we can come back and support you guys in your performances:)

and to the j1 chord and bass, haha... practice more! you all are very impt de :)

and for the j2s, thank you for all the support that you have given to the exco and music comm. sometimes we might be a lil too hard on you guys but i hope you all wont mind lah (hehehe...). the exco really wanna thank you all cos you guys are really very cooperative and never bring us any trouble (really! we seldom talk about member's problems during meeting!)... so yep, THANKS! and jiayou for ur A levels and the years ahead. and dont forget to pick up your harmoc every now and then start rmb the wonderful memories that we have forged together!

rmb that 'ONCE A HARMOCKEE, ALWAYS A HARMOCKEE!'

well, i hate to say gdbye esp at this instant. but sometimes we really need to admit that reality is that cruel! accept it man and move on! :)

signing off and all the best for all you do!

best regards!
thomas
0708 secretary

farewell! :)

2008-05-27T20:41:00.004+08:00

yoyo everyone!

how's holiday so far (ok, other than the mugging part)? For the j2s, harmoc is probably your last cca in ur life (unless u choose to have cca when u go uni) so the memories that we have created together for the past one year is really precious. Photos! Yep! Photos is the best way (i think) to refresh ur memories. So... there you go! this is not all... will pass u all all the other photos during one fine day [yes! i can assure you! sure de...]

and for the j1s, probably these photos mark the start of ur harmoc journey in aj! so jiayou! rmb to strive for gold in syf! :)

that's all for now! and happy hols!

cheers,
thomas :)

and to all j1s, rmb that there will be practice next monday, so pls turn up! :)

Service Learning Project - Overview

2007-10-10T16:20:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone! Understand that everyone is quite stressed up about PW, me too! Just bear with this subject for just a few more weeks and that's all.

Anyway, understand that some of you didn't turn up for harmonica practice on tue due to open house facilitator's briefing. These are some important notices which we have made known to the members. As for those who turn up for tuesday practice, please also view the details as there are some additional information.

Objective of this SL project

1) Spread our love for music because we believe that music brings people together.

2) Start a harmonica culture as we realize very few schools have a harmonica band.

3) To share with other children some of the skills in which it would be beneficial to them.

4) To prepare the children for a Christmas concert organised by the centre.

Organisation

Daybreak Family Service Centre

Blk 855 Yishun Ring Rd #01-3539 (S760855)

According to latest information, 31 students are interested in this programme.

Duration of Service

1) 21st November to 19th December 2007 (Every Wednesday and Friday). Therefore, there will be a total of 9 sessions in all.

2) For the very last session, we might be organizing a funfair session so as to end our service learning project and the course with a blast.

3) Each session will be conducted for 2.5 hours (as compared to the previous years, this has been extended due to the shortening of the number of sessions and the activities we would be having).

4) For all the Wednesdays, the first half-hour will be used to settle some administrative items while the other two hours will be used to teach them how to play with the harmonica.

5) For all the Fridays, the first half-hour will be used to settle some administrative items, the next one hour will be used to revise what was taught on Wednesday and brush up their skills. Then, the final one hour, we will conduct different activities, which we hope that it would be useful to the children. (Details of each activity and their rationale are listed below)

The Friday 1-hour activity [Proposed Activity]

Dancing, Teaching Magic and Sports.

We need more suggestions. Each section to come up with at least 2 activity that can be conducted within an hour.

Other Information [Tentative]

Children will be split into 5 groups. 6 children per group (only 1 group with 7)

For each group, we will allocate 3 Harmokees. Ideally, 1 harmokee pair up with two children.

Therefore, for each session, about 15 harmokees will go to Daybreak Centre.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Please check your schedule by next harmonica session. We need to know which day are you unavailable so that we could do necessary arrangement as soon as possible.

Please let either Shu Qin or Thomas know if you suddenly cannot make it via sms. We will allocate another timeslot for you.
