Hi RafflesianSnr, can I check with you is it very difficult to get into the String CCA? two times a week or three times a week for practice?

[RafflesianSnr]

Think they want experience. Not sure. There will be a CCA exhibition event on 23rd Jan (if I recall correctly), so save it for then.


I think its 3 times a week practice.

Three or more times a week before competition.

Go for auditions and put them as first choice is that's what you want.

Hi YY1205. I am not RafflesianSnr but just happened that DS had experience in String CCA audition. DS didn't have any experience at all in string instrument and Chinese Orchestra but was offered both CCAs. He has piano background. During the String CCA audition, he was asked to play piano (any piece, no score sheet) and had some aural questions and other questions.

I don't think there is core CCA in RI that doesn't need a lot of commitment. In fact, I think performing arts and UGs should be renamed as competitive performing arts and competitive uniform groups, just like competitive sports.

One urgent question, tomorrow year1 boys are required to report to school by 7:15am, if my DS wants enter via gate15( the one along Bishan road) at around 7:00am, as he doesn't have the ezlink card to open the door, he has to follow seniors, does anyone know normally will there be lots seniors going via this gate around this time 7:00am? ( understand year2 boys go to Malaysia tomorrow)


My DS is that kind of always-worried boy and hate been scolded because of late
