NEW EXCO STRUCTURE
yep we've changed our exco structure. the new positions available are now:

Core: President, Vicepresident, Secretary, Treasurer
Modern: Head of Modern, Modern Coordinator
Break: Head of Break, Break Coordinator
Hiphop: Head of Hiphop, Hiphop Coordinator

Difference between Head and Coordinator of each division:
- the Head will be somewhat similar to our current dance i/cs, involved in leading practices, sometimes choreographing.
- the Coordinator will take on a more organisational/administrative/secretarial role within that division, eg. collecting money.

still 10 posts available, exact job scope will be posted up here soon.

UPDATING MEMBERSHIP STATUS

1. New rule for those in more than one division:
you must choose ONE division as your MAIN division. (practices for your main division will be compulsory and prioritized above that of your second division.) have to decide and tell us by GM 1 on 4 june (mon)

2. Commitment level in MAD:
a serious warning to all members, based on your attitude/level of commitment/level of attendance, and maybe to a lesser extent, dance capabilities, we'll begin to rethink membership status both in terms of the number divisions you can be in, or even your entire involvement in MAD itself. our aim? more discipline in MAD, and not taking things for granted. so beware!


...Now go think about your main division + your 1st/2nd choice if you're running for exco.

and WE DID IT.
DANCE NIGHT 2007, MOSAIC

j2s our last item together. done.

our big event, really went through.

chinese dance did their last item too! and they were super professional VERY proud of them.

and thankful to our juniors for supporting us all the way too

and soon, soon, time to let go, and like the seniors let go of us, let go of our juniors, so ya, mad will be yours alr.

as i just mentioned to kegan, when dance night itself started was when it started to end. =( all the organising, the dancing, culminating in that one event. but it ended so beautifully! with a bang.

yes thank god chi dance did their last item. and emcees saved the day with our shouts for encore. and though music screwed up, really pa/ava (gen!) did a REALLY good job with lights. think most juniors take it for granted, but it's not every lightings i/c that can understand exactly what kinda feel you want, have the patience to go through every minute of every item with you, and have enough musicality so that everything is on cue. gen did it! and if you watch the videos, you'll realize how important lightings are, and how much they can give us that added push.

and ya. j2s who did this together, this is really the end of our shortshort but very fulfililng journey =(

..didn't join MAD expecting to feel so much for it, but i do. i got more than i bargainedf or

EMO SHITS!

see everyone

sooonn

Aiyah nobody post for so long...

Well, this is it. Dance Night 2007, something that our teacher discouraged us from doing cause of SYF and Danceworks, but in the end we got our way... An event that we've been staying in school so late for, cutting classes for, spending sleepless nights worrying for. Coming soon. So soon. Too soon, actually.

OHMYGOSH IT'S TOMORROW.

... oh and I'm really sorry for so many booklet errors. I was rushing to finish it in time so that we could get them by today. The result is really pretty, but full of stupid errors like spelling Music wrongly and having wrong titles and missing paragraphs. If you have raised any of these to me, I most likely snapped back at you for kao-bei-ing me, so sorry!

Jiayou everyone! Sleep well and REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR COSTUMES (especially me --")
