Hey there, we'll be having our choir camp soon &I thought it'll be good if the details of the camp are laid out again on a single post and address certain issues.
The main objective of this camp is to create even more Bonds within the choir, and to wish farewell to both Priscilla and Rachelle.
To start with, choir camps ARE compulsory. and MCs are to be submitted to cover absence. But, when the announcement was made the other time, i said "i'm not going to force anyone into attending this camp", meaning to say, FOR THIS CAMP ONLY, i would allow people not to attend the camp if you have a legitimate reason and by giving you the benefit of doubt that is. But i don't thing excuses like "i'm not a fan of camps" or "i'm not close to the people we are bidding farewell to" is a very good reason.
Firstly, i can boldly say that at least half the people in choir aren't fans of camps. but its really up to you on how you look at it, its mind over body. Secondly, the fact that some arent' close to the people we are bidding farewell to, means to say that we aren't close to alot of people. Thinking about it, for a cca, it is very hard to be close to everyone, since we are "working" during cca and not chilling out and having parties. Thats why, there is a need for camps and such to knit a closer bond between all of you. its also a chance for you to get to know more of the people you would be mixing with for at least the following year. With a bond between everybody, it would be easier to work and you'll see that everything, rehearsals and such can be taken at a quicker pace since we would understand everyone better.
At the same time, i don't wish to "point a gun" at your head demanding that you turn up for this camp. But i really hope that everyone would turn up with the conviction that as a choir family, we do things together, not leaving anyone out. its just like a family portrait taken without one of the family members. weird isn't it? So whats within our ability is to encourage you all to just attend this camp but if u find that by coming to this camp, you can just faint and become eccentric, then i rather you not come for this camp. psyche yourself into coming for the future compulsory camps. basically, we hope to see everyone there. Please do inform me if you really can't come for the camp, if not i take that everyone would be present.
on a lighter note,
