You are really a gem! I didn't know there are so many string ensembles. :thankyou:
Maybe you can take a look at this list from last year's Primary school SYF. It may not show ALL the schools having string groups, but it at least shows the schools that have sent String Groups to participate in the Festival.

Oh! Did other schools use only one set of interviewers? I thot HCI had several and finished at one go for GEPpers too. I know they had a separate session for Main stream. They need to split cos they had much more applicants I think.About the NJC interview, there were so many rooms with so many different panels as it was all done in one afternoon.
Some panels finish very fast, some took a long time with the kids waiting up to few hours for their turn.
Not a very fair process to start with. -

For hcl, there are mainly 2 interview dates . One for DSA phase1 applicants and the second one is foe DSA phase 2 applicants.

True but no body use interviewers that were so varied in style/standard till some rooms took 10 min per candidate while some took up to 45 minutes.

But each date had several interviews going on concurrently right? They had at least 200 for each season also. Did other schools have only one interviewer? Or same as NJC and HCI?

You mean the CCA itself? Better not dream that way. haha.Thank you so much, phankao.
it is very, very useful.
din know got so many different type of CCAs before.
now can tell which school strong in which CCA.
good to expose child to music CCA, then next time can pursue music elective in Secondary school.
btw, which CCA involve much more time to practise - guzheng or violin ?
each week, spend 2 hours enough or much more time ?
In my boys' primary school, it makes not much difference. CCA practice would be about 2x per week, 3hrs each time. There are sectionals & group practice. I think it's about the same for both chinese orchestra or string ensemble. For SYF years, there are morning practices 5x/week for 1hr, including afternoon practices. -

Should be the interviewers.
Is it better to be in the 45min grp or 10min grp? is it really the interviewers or also the kids, some have more to talk abt then others perhaps?
Some rooms that day were like 2-3 hours behind time.
I'm curious to find out too on the outcome of short and long interviews that day. -
Dnls_mum:
Actually even in one of the top schools, despite what they wrote on the letter sent that each child would have 15mins only, by the time my son went in, it was 2hours over the time-schedule. I suppose for the 1st few who went in, they would be very happy and said that everything went quite smoothly, but for those who waited, they would be unhappy and have had a truly bad impression.
