The excos have been discussing the matter with Miss Ng, and going to source for costumes after practices this week. Following is the FINALISED costume for all performers – seniors and juniors – for both the LT5 concert and the esplanade recital:
GUYS:
- maroon long-sleeved collared shirt*
- black pants
- black leather shoes
- silver tie*
GIRLS:
- black long-sleeved collared shirt
- black knee-length skirt (plus minus 3 fingers from the middle of the kneecap) (must not be too tight or flared; preferably pencil or A-line skirt)
- black heels (no stilettos please) or court shoes
- red sash (to tie at waist) (provided by excos)
- silver ribbon(to tie long hair)/hairband (to wear in short hair) (provided by excos)
* maroon shirts must be bought together, because we need to standardize the shade of maroon. Yu Ping will organize a date for the guys to go get the shirts together from Orchard OG, and let you know at a later date. (estimated cost: $26)
* silver ties will also be bought in bulk from Orchard OG. (estimated cost: $13)
IMPORTANT: All performers are to prepare the pieces of clothing, including shoes, as listed above by the rehearsal on 7TH JULY, MONDAY, and bring them for rehearsal for checking to see if everyone’s clothes are okay. If you do not own any of the required clothes, it is recommended that you find someone to borrow from instead of buying it yourself if you are only intending to wear it once for concert.
About changes in girls’ costume:
I would like to apologise on behalf of the exco for the sudden change in costume from colour to black. This is because we sought approval from Miss Ng for the maroon blouse which the majority of the girls preferred, but Miss Ng stated very clearly that we have to wear a long-sleeved top for the esplanade recital, because it is a more formal setting. Also, she has expressed that the girls’ top should not be almost identical in colour to the guys’ shirt, and we need to show some contrast by wearing something else like black, which is easy to match with the guys’ costumes, the brown LT5/recital studio floor, the red LT5 curtains and our guitars. However, we will still be matching our costumes with the guys’ costumes, by wearing the red sash at the waist and tying silver ribbon in our hair, so I hope that’s cool with everyone.
On a sidenote, I would also like to add that Miss Ng wants us to have the skirt because it shows contrast between the guys’ and girls’ costumes. I am sorry if there are any objections to the new costume, but we have tried to accommodate the ensemble’s requests as far as possible by including some colour in the form of the sash and ribbon, but please understand that we have to meet the teachers’ requirements too.
We hope you will understand the necessary changes, and if any of you still have any overwhelmingly violent objections, you can talk to Yu Ping or me. Thank you.
P.S. Juniors, good luck for your CTs! But please remember that concert practice starts immediately after CTs end, on 30TH JULY, 4.30 – 6.30pm. You guys only have about 2 weeks left after your CTs to prepare for the concert, so please make sure you come for the practice on Monday as well as on Thursday (Wednesday practice is cancelled as the IP2s will be away at OBS). We will not hesitate to boot people who are not committed to their practice from the performance.
