What should I wear when I report to school on 21 May?
Report to school for morning assembly in school uniform. When you report again at 9 pm, you can wear your own clothes. Wear jeans and t-shirt.
Can I wear 3/4-pants?
No, the material can be flimsy or thin. 3/4 jeans are acceptable.
Can I wear sneakers instead of sports shoes?
Yes.
Can I wear slippers?
No. But you can wear slippers in the privacy of your hotel room. Do not wear slippers all over the hotel grounds or anywhere else.
How many bags of luggage can I bring?
One and only one for checking in. But you can have another hand-carried bag slung over your shoulder. Coloured tags and ribbons will be distributed before we leave for easy identification.
Can I bring more clothes than the number that is indicated in the handbook?
Yes. But remember you are limited to one bag for check-in and one bag for hand-carry. You also need space for your band uniform, and that includes the vest and your formal black shoes.
Can I wear a dress?
No. Dresses attract unwanted attention, especially if the cut is high and is revealing. Stick to jeans and t-shirt throughout.
I feel very weird bringing my luggage to school in the morning. How?
Get a luggage bag that looks more glamourous than your current one, usually one with wheels. You can then pull it along and walk through the school gates and act cool (wear a jacket or sweater for maximum effect). You can place your bag in the band room while we pack the instruments.
Can I change roommate?
No. As explained, senior members have been paired with juniors so that we can take care of one another.
I feel very sad that I can't go to Hong Kong. Will you guys buy me souvenirs?
Yes. Also, check this blogsite for updates as Ms Jacqueline Leong will post pictures and descriptions every day. You can then follow our activities from Singapore even though you're not with us. HK Participants, tell your parents they can visit this blogsite too. The photo journal will be up on the school's e-learning portal, MIDAS under Co-Curricular Activities/Concert Band. Use your MIDAS account, or click on Login as guest. Click here to go to MIDAS.
Do I need to prepare gifts for the band exchange session?
Yes. Just a simple, small and not too expensive one will do, and preferably one uniquely Singapore, for them to remember you by.
