Tribute to guitar 4

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Next up, let's put our hands together to welcome Guitar 4!

Section Leader
Cheryl (Vice Chairperson)

A. Section Leader
Elaine Oh

Members
Shu Yan
Yan Ting
Elaine Toh

They played: Concerto (Guitar 4)
Bridge Over Troubled Waters (Guitar 1)

Firstly, I just realise that Guitar 4 have very strong guitar players. Firstly, Cheryl had piano (rather high grade) background, Elaine Oh already knows how to play the Guitar, Shu Yan was from TJC Guitar Ensemble, Yan Ting and Elaine was former band members, therefore, already have music background! Obviously, this makes their guitar part rather strong.

The only group that comprises only the female counterparts. Perhaps that is also the reason why they are so closely knitted? Well, they form the complements to Guitar part 1 for Concerto. They don't face much problem in Mr Liauw's session because they are all so pro as mentioned earlier. Yup, furthermore, Guitar 5 is highly dependent on their Guitar Part to know when to come in. Thus having Guitar 4 placed beside Guitar 5 is such a great planning!

Bias Bias!! Kidding! =X "This is going to be the last 3rd time sitting with you le." This sentence seems to have a great impact on me. Seriously feel rather sad that guitar's gonna end. Anyway, that shouldn't belong here.

All rise for the Vice Chairperson of Guitar Ensemble of Meridian! Her commitment for Guitar and the members could be clearly seen. From planning all those gifts that the members received to buying them, and wrapping them up, she had a foot in all those stuff! Furthermore, she took the initiative to write something for all the section leaders as well as the comm members! Such a sweet person ya?

A very responsible vice president of GEM and does her allocated duties efficiently and also took the initiative to go the extra mile, for example printing for us the terms of reference, went to buy scarfs, cosmetics and so on and so forth. She has excellent leadership qualities which shone during her times as a Vice Chair. Her passion and commitment to guitar is not once doubted, ever since she stepped foot into Guitar. She is usually the one roaring with enthusism and gets the ensemble going even during times when the ensemble is feeling restless and so on. Well, what to do, once she sa jiao everyone's hair start to stand that they have to perk themselves up! Kidding!

A great motivator and someone whom has the same aspiration as me! A DJ! Albeit it is for the English radio station. Seriously, the Cheryl and Han Zhong talk show sounds a great idea! Lol!
Yup, continue to lead Guitar Alumni to greater Glory! You will not be forgotten! ;)

A. Section Leader
Elaine Oh

Sorry, another person whom I did not interact much with. Only know that you were in the same class as Hiu Yan and Charlene. (A101) Other than that, well, I do not know much, yup, Sorry!

Elaine Toh

People whom do not know her, may find that she is a very quiet person. However, her friends could justify the exact opposite of that is true. Elaine's a very chatty girl who never seems to run out of conversations. In addition to that, she seems to me to be the sort that likes to laugh over anything, everything. When you put Sharon, Jing Yi and her together, wow! I don't even dare to imagine what will happen!

Having a Band Major like Yan Ting joining GEM is definitely a plus factor for us! She's talented in guitar playing and furthermore, gives us suggestions on certain stuff on how it could be improved! Yup. One of the stronger players in Guitar 4 ya? Flourished under Cheryl right? (Haha! Cheryl, I know you must be flying now!) But I suppose efort should be credited to Yan Ting too, for practicing and practicing and practicing.

Shu Yan! Just imagine, If you stayed on in TJC, you will miss out on the Gold with Glory, however, you will receive the Gold with Honours. Just imagine, if you stayed on in TJC, you will not know majority of us, ceteris paribus. You will miss out on the bonding sessions (Treats), etc. You will not be part of the pioneer batch of Meridian Guitarists to take part in SYF and wrtie history. However, TJC may give you more satisfaction, you MAY have stronger bonds, you may have the Honours, you MAY have more fun. However, WILL you? Come on, I'm sure you have NEVER regretted joining MJC very own Guitar Ensemble ya?

The fun times you MAY never get to have with TJC, our very own Mr Ng, whom put in so much for us. Oh yah, you MAY not even be a guitarist but a percussionist! You MAY not even qualify for TJC SYF Ensemble! Serious! Their players are so professional! I stress, MAY. However, in MJC, you shared the joy, endured the hardship, forged the bond. I'm sure those are memories you will keep for life. I'm sure this feeling WILL be very much different from TJC. Because, I generally believe that the commitment that MJC Guitarist put into the Ensemble is the greatest! Anyway, You have made a RIGHT choice in Joining GEM! Lol! (What am I talking about?)
