Dear Members on duty for 22nd, 23rd and 25th March, Level assemblies,

Please take note that the request for support for Level Assembly has arrived. All of them will be using the same equipment. Details are as follows:

Type of event: Speech
Equipment Required:
1. 2 condensers (AKG) on stands with 10m microphone cable
2. 2 wireless handheld microphone

According to the teacher, there will be 6 groups of students doing a choral reading, thus the condensers. There will be 1 or 2 students whom will stand out from the group and make a solo speech, so advise them to use the handheld microphone.

Please excuse yourself from class 5 minutes earlier in order to set up these equipment. FULL crew is expected especially backstage crew.

Backstage crew:To stay behind backstage at all times until the event finishes.

Sound Crew: Please remember to switch on 48v, MUTE the condensers when they're not in use to reduce feedback.

Light Crew: General stage lighting(if required)

Use only the FRONT speakers and do not exceed the normal levels else teachers will come knocking at your door asking you to lower the levels as there are classes going on during your level assembly.

CNY duty feedback

Dear PA members,

Thank you to those who came as early as 6am to set up the mobile system for CNY celebrations. I must admit that this is your first Outdoor Duty that is so big and you guys pulled through it among the confusion, time constraints and last minute requests. I hope all of you have learnt something through this Outdoor Duty and improve further through even more Outdoor Duty.

Do note that there will be a de-briefing for CNY Outdoor duty(to be confirmed when) so that we can iron out what are the problems we faced and not let it happen again.

Happy Chinese New Year. May you get many ANG PAOz!
