Annual concert is over! *throws confetti into the air*
Great job everyone! (: I'm so proud of each and every one of you, from seeing some of you struggle through the pieces during practices to hearing an awesome ensemble rock the house with awesome pieces. The hard work of all of us has definitely paid off (: Thank you all for being so committed to GENUS! <3
Our next event coming up is the Annual General Meeting this saturday 24 Mar 2012, when the 30th Committee officially hand the running of the ensemble over to the 31st Committee. A big thank you to the 30th Comm for all that you've done the past year (abit self-praise here but ahwell haha), it has been awesome working with you all (: Also, all the best to the 31st Comm and do your best to bring GENUS to greater heights ok!
After the AGM, we will be having our Annual Dinner at.. somewhere. It's a highly confidential secret well-kept by every single member of the 31st Comm. *scowls* Therefore I cant really say much about the Dinner sigh. Please remember to wear more presentable clothes cos we're going to take plenty of pictures~
And finally, JIAYOU FOR FINALS/FYP EVERYONE! :D

7 days
Countdown to concert: 7 days left!
Just realised the 30th Comm will be stepping down soon, no more power liao sigh. Decided to do up a supposedly motivational post for y'all! Will try to spam with more posts before we hand this blog over to the next generation of pubsecs..
We're only a week left to our concert! How are all of you feeling? I know amidst all the different emotions y'all are experiencing now [from emo (no more GENUS pracs after concert!) to relieved (finally no more "concert is coming! practice hard!" from the naggy committee and more time for studies!) to pure nonchalance (whatever..)], one of them is definitely practice fatigue. Imean, we've all worked SO HARD since last year, even before Music Camp 2011. That's a pretty long way we've come, I'd say. Now is the period of time when we're the most tempted to slack, thinking "Oh I've gotten pretty good at this, I don't need to practice anymore I guess."
PLEASE ERASE THAT THOUGHT!! >:(
Instead, since its the last week during which we can make a change, practice like there's no tomorrow!! hiakhiak. (But that said, please do take care of yourself + your nails + your fingers. We don't want any of you to fall ill/get injured at this critical point in time! ): )
I'm dead sure almost none of your SLs will say no if you want extra practices [EDITED: one of your SLs have proved me wrong]. Robert has cancelled tuesday prac, very good! Take the initiative to organise self-practices! :D Don't let your hard work over 3 months be wasted cos you slacked last minute (or rather, last week) and as a result don't perform up to standard during concert ):
Yes yes I know I'm super naggy, but anyway jiayou and work hard for a successful Asian Waves: The Changing Face of Asia concert everyone! (:
PS: Extra self-prac on tuesday, anyone? (: Indicate your interest on our FB group ok! ^^

Upcoming Asian Waves 2012
Exactly one month left to Asian Waves: The Changing Face of Asia!
Pubsecs hope each and every GENUS members have been practising REAL hard to make this concert AWESOME and SUCCESSFUL :D
To inspire you all, here are 2 inspirational quotes to motivate you to pick up your guitar and practice:
Sometimes you want to give up the guitar, you'll hate the guitar. But if you stick with it, you're gonna be rewarded.
Jimi Hendrix
That happens every time I get behind a guitar, regardless of what I'm saying, 'cause music is freedom and being free is the closest I've ever felt to being spiritual.
Ben Harper
JIAYOU everyone! 30 more days to make a difference! ^^v

GENUS Chalet 2012
The GENUS Chalet at Aloha Changi Fairy Point No 4 from 4-6 Jan 2012 kindly sponsored by Han Siang was totally AWESOME! Many thanks to all those who took time to come down for the chalet, especially for the BBQ :D
We ate yummy food (albeit a LITTLE bit burnt), we played Guitar Hero (thanks to Ben Tan for bringing it!), we enjoyed a great night (nights for some of us :b) of company with each other and just getting to know each other better (:
Pictures of the fun we had during chalet have been uploaded onto Facebook, do take a look if you're free and have nothing better to do :b
Meanwhile, keep your fingers moving as our Asian Waves 2012 concert day is only 64 days away! If you dont already know (TSKTSK shame on you!!), its on the 11th of March 2012 at the NUS UCC Hall at 8pm. To the seniors, continue practicing hard to make this concert an even more successful one than the past few ones as this might be one of your last few concerts (boohoo )':) Therefore, it'd be great to end off your GENUS journey with a bang right! :D To the juniors, continue practicing hard too as this is your first HUGEASS concert with GENUS! Not to scare y'all, but the standards to be met will be WAAAAAY higher than that of our Guitarras Expresivas concert. But dont fret, anything is possible with diligence and hard work! (: Hang in there, and we'll all definitely deliver an extremely successful concert to the audience together yeah!
Lots of love,
Pq&Eliz
