Jubilate X Preparation

Hello Choir!

Jubilate is just ONE WEEK away and we still have lots of things to do.
Although Choir concert is over, we still have Jubilate and it is equally important.
I don't want us to do badly during the rehearsals and on the actual day itself because you have not been focusing during choir. Even if the sec fours are not around, you still have to listen to your sec three leaders who are also having a hard time managing all of you.

Please, let this be a good performance for all of us!

This is a link for you to learnt Jubilate Deo. Listen to the singing and rhythm!
JUBILATE DEO

Please MEMORISE THE SONG WELL BY THURSDAY. The SLs will check.
If you do not, you will simply not perform as there is no more time to keep chasing you.
Take responsibility okay? I believe in you.

As for Give Me A Choral Medley and America, be sure of all your new dance steps and the lyrics.
It is a shame that some of you still don't know the lyrics even though it is a concert song.
If you didn't come on Friday, FIND OUT FROM YOUR FRIENDS OR SLS!

Let's make our school's tenth Jubilate something we are all proud of!

Lots of Love,
Nicoe

2. Report in your choir tee and PE shorts and school shoes.

3. Make sure you eat a hearty breakfast. You'll need energy for the rest of the days.
