However do note that the tickets purchased will not be seated together
with the complimentary tickets given as the tickets are released

I understand that most parents are concerned about the timing especially for 6 and 7 August as pupils will reach school very late. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and not all pupils can participate in this Sing50. We do hope for parents' support and please help to take care of your child/ ward well-being prior to this big and important event.

Dear Parents/Guardian, boys and girls,
As mentioned during Choir practice today, 21/7, I will be re-uploading all the 10 songs for the Sing50 Performance.
Please ignore the previous versions of the 10 songs as there is a technical problem in the songs.
For the Finale, the version that is uploaded has only the melody. Please listen to it and familiarize yourself with the melody first.
**Important Note:
Please focus on the Girl's Voice part only.
Our 1st rehearsal will be this Sat, 25/7 at Tanglin Trust School. (Please refer to letter given out today,21/7)
We were just informed by the Sing50 organiser that there is no need for pupils to memorise all the 10 songs.
They are allowed to bring their music songsheets along with them during the performance.
As a standardisation for all the participating schools ( about 1000 pupils' choir), the pupils will need to use a black pocket file to store their songsheets, 1 pocket for 1 page for easy flipping.
Pupils will be required to have their black file ready on the actual day of the performance, 7 Aug, Friday.
Below are the 10 songs for the Sing50 Performance.

Community Service at SWAMi 22 May 2015
Our EDP Choir has reached out to our
community and put up a performance for the elderly residents at SWAMI Nursing
Home (For the Aged) on 22 May 2015.
This is a
community outreach programme that allows pupils
to show empathy, respect and concern towards others, contribute to the
community and learn to put others before self. Through the interactions with the elderly, we hope to bridge the intergenerational gap
between the young and the old, and to improve perceptions and attitudes towards ageing
and seniors. At the same time, it is also a platform for our singing angels to showcase their singing talents to the elderly residents at the home.
A total of 53 Choir pupils (p2-6) sang 3 songs at the SWAMI Home.
Pupils were doing reflections in groups. They were very eager to share their experiences with one another.
Beautiful and interesting reflections done by the pupils.
