AJCO Heritage Exhibition and University Mentorship Group
As part of our vision to build up the foundations for our Chinese Orchestra, the 3rd batch AJCAA Chinese Orchestra (AJCAACO) committee will be spearheading two new projects in 2007 – the AJCO Heritage Exhibition and University Mentorship Group. Through these projects, we seek to build a sense of camaraderie among the current alumni CO members and between the alumni CO members and the juniors CO members. The main objective of the former is to create and put forth the commonality which connects all (former) AJCO members i.e. our history. As for the latter, the objective is to help our CO juniors adapt to the new environments of selected universities (such as NUS and NTU).
Cultural Night Performance
For the Cultural Night Performance, the songs have not been confirmed yet. Theme and songs for the performance will be updated. Duration of performance is about 10-15mins.
Practice Timings
Practice is scheduled to resume on 17th Jan (Wed) from 7-930pm. If there’s no problem in coordination with the school, practice will be settled on Wednesday, and the timings fixed.
Practice will be planned to prepare ourselves for Rabobank Performances (if any), Cultural Night Performance, and our concert in 2008 and any adhoc performances. Practices can be sectional or da zhu depending on the need. Lena will continue to be our assistant conductor. SLs are required to help ensure the attendance of the members.
Blog: AJCAACO - Euphony of Bonds Across Time
A blog has been set up to encourage more active participation from the alumni members. The blog will be a platform of interaction for everybody in the alumni, sharing their interesting stories or anything under the sun. Future announcements will be put up on the blog too.
The blog should be up by January 2007. Committee members will have access to the blog and post entries.

Event(s)/Program(s) on the Pending List:
1) Rabobank Concert (February 2007)
2) Pre-University Sharing Session II (Date to be confirmed)
Rabobank Performance
The yearly Rabobank Chinese New Year performance is still on the pending list. Kian Kiat has sent an email to a representative of Rabobank last month to ask for inquiry about using our orchestra for their 2007 Chinese New Year celebration. They will get back to Kian Kiat or AJCAA in January.
Pre-University Sharing Session II
We might be organizing another similar session after the JC2 students have received their A-Level result to reach out to more JC2 students in the Chinese Orchestra.

Other possible plans for 2007/2008
1. Alumni CO exchange programme with AJCO.
This is to promote more interaction between the alumni and the juniors. We can go down during their annual camp or practice and perform for them, so that we can learn from each other. This is one possible way to close up the distance between us and the juniors.
2. Music Theory Lessons and CO History and Development Seminars:
This is to equip the alumni CO people with some basic music theory knowledge, such as reading music scores. The CO history seminar will serve to provide basic knowledge about the development of Chinese Orchestra from ancient China via Westernization/modernization.
