Hello everyone, and happy Chinese new year!
It’s
Lishan here again with another short update on our recent activities! We all
hope you had a good break over the CNY weekend, and are geared up for the last
few days of school before we enter recess week!
1. CNY
Celebrations
Every year, NUSWS will have a lo hei session to
celebrate CNY, and this year was no exception. Of course it was no mean feat
squeezing 30 over people round the table, but that’s exactly what this family
band is all about!
Getting ready for the lo hei!
To kick off the celebrations, our favourite president
and vice-president, Bojun and Yuting, topped off the yusheng while our student
conductor, Wenquan, lead the band in a joyful chorus of CNY wishes.
Wenquan: “Gong xi fa cai!”
Band: “GONG XI FA CAI !!!”
The highlight of the celebrations, and also the moment
that everyone had been waiting for- tossing the yusheng! It was no surprise
that there was a mess resulting from everyone’s extra enthusiasm and energy in
tossing!
Squeeze and toss!
Aftermath.

It was a short but sweet celebration, in which members
also took some time bonding with their sections. What could be better than
being around good friends with the air of festivity surrounding us? We all hope
you enjoyed your CNY as much as we did!

2016: To The Stars
Yes, you have guessed it right! Here’s a quick
promotion of the concert that everyone here in NUSWS has been working hard for
these past few months! This year’s theme is “To The Stars”, and we are proud to
take you on an intergalactic journey with our music. Featuring pieces such as Sidus,
Highlights from LOST MOON and Perseus, InTempo 2016: To The Stars will take you
on an epic journey that explores the human imagination of the vast
outer-space. You might even catch familiar tunes such as Twinkle, Twinkle
Little Star, but with a twist, so come on down to find out (or listen out for)
the difference!
