SAI KUNG CHILDREN'S CHOIR TO GET NEW LOOK
* * * *
THE SAI KUNG CHILDREN'S CHOIR, WHICH HAS PROVED A GREAT SUCCESS SINCE IT WAS FORMED A YEAR AGO, IS TO TAKE ON A NEW LOOK.
MEMBERS OF THE CHOIR WILL SHED THEIR WESTERN STYLE UNIFORMS AND, INSTEAD, PUT ON NEW OUTFITS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF FARMERS AND FISHERMEN.
+THIS WILL BETTER IDENTIFY THE CHOIR WITH THE SAI KUNG AREA,+ SAID MR FUNG KIN-HONG, ITS TUTOR.
THE DISTRICT ADVISORY BOARD APPROVED EXPENDITURE AMOUNTING TO $7 000 FOR 70 UNIFORMS AT ONE OF ITS RECENT MEETINGS.
THE GIRLS WILL HAVE PINK DRESS WITH BLACK VELVET APRONS AND THE BOYS BLUE UNIFORMS WITH MARIGOLD COLOURED SILK BELTS.
THE UNIFORMS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED BY THE CHOIR'S INSTRUCTORS. THEY WILL BE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME AT A CONCERT THE CHOIR HOPES TO GIVE IN JUNE.
THE EXISTING UNIFORMS WILL BE KEPT FOR USE ON SOME OCCASIONS.
MR FUNG SAID A RECRUITMENT DRIVE LAUNCHED LAST WEEK TO ENLIST 90 YOUNG PEOPLE AGED BETWEEN 12 AND 15 FOR A TEENAGER GROUP HAD RECEIVED AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE.
HE SAID HUNDREDS OF APPLICATIONS HAD BEEN RECEIVED. SELECTION IS GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT.+
BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH IN MEMBERSHIP AND ACTIVITIES, TWO CONDUCTORS, TWO PIANO ACCOMPANISTS, TWO ORGANISERS AND PERCUSSION INSTRUCTOR ARE BEING RECRUITED.
DETAILS OF THE POSTS ARE AVAILABLE FROM SAI KUNG DISTRICT
OFFICE.
