在哪里？
We are going to have our practices at ... a secret location. It's somewhere in the music block... okay maybe it's not that secret after all. -.- Here's a clue:
(sing to the tune of 一二三四五六七，我的朋友在哪里)
一二三四五六七，分组排练在哪里？ 在这里，在这里，分组排练在这里。
... Hope that helped.
How? Err.. let's skip this.
Scores
In case you don't know yet, the song (yes one song only) we are playing is 临安遗恨. Scores will be given out on the first day of practice i.e. 23 Nov. So you do not have to print the scores.
Meanwhile you can start "touching the scores" (not literally -.- please translate it to chinese so that it will make more sense).
The Song
If you look carefully enough, 临安遗恨 is a 协奏曲. Which means its with piano accompaniment.
Quick guess who's our piano accompanist??
(Clue: It's a certain monkeylovesbananas but we have too many monkeys and banana lovers in zheng e.g. fionabanana, banana34_xxx, so i think its still worth a guess)
Here's a preview of how it sound like with piano accompaniment:
