History Of The Club

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings and Guitar ensemble (NPS) was established in 1992 by Mr.Gan See Wee, with the goal of promoting classical music amongst students. The club started out with a meagre 10 members and has since developed progressively to lots of members currently.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings has performed at many outdoor events and functions. The main annual events are Virtuoso and Family concert. Other than performances, Ngee Ann Polytechnic Strings also organises various activities like the annual Music camp and Tea party to facilitate more bonding and a sense of unity between the club's members.

And to facilitate our new members, we also organise Guitar/Strings Fairs where we bring guitar/strings products and accessories to our club from vendors like Synwin, Maestro Guitars etc. This is to give them an opportunity to try and test the instruments with ease and also buy them at more affordable prices.

In the year 2006, Niibori Guitar was introduced to our club and has also played the instrument for the first time during our Virtuoso 13th Concert.

The club also aims to further inspire the club members to strive to bring the club to greater heights and to further enhance the reputation of Ngee Ann Strings by constantly performing at various functions outside school, which would bring greater glory to Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

OK THESE ARE THE DETAILS FROM THE PERSON FROM MEDIACORP!

Samantha from MediaCorp here. Details for your 2 girls 2 guys for our filming session next monday.

Details of the scene:
Our drama is called "Red Thread" and it will be aired from April 2009 onwards. The scene that we will be filming on 29th Dec is an engagement scene (between Adrian Pang & Celest Chong's characters) on board a Yacht at the club at Sentosa. The 4 of your members will be violin players in the setting.

Here are more details:
Date: 29 Dec (Mon)
Reporting time: 0730am sharp at Mediacorp (Filming will be whole day for us but we should be able to release 4 of you by lunchtime around 2pm)
Pls bring your student pass / IC to exchange for our visitor's pass in.
Pls enter thru our RadioGate instead of Reception and call me at 91799217 once you arrive.
You will need to exchange for visitors' pass from the security post and tell him that you are "Red Thread"'s Extras. This is becoz this is the most convenient way for you to enter or else Reception is much further away.

Pls bring along your violin, and your all black outfit which you guys usually wear for performances. Ladies please wear black long dress. I've also asked my wardrobe to prepare standby black outfits for you just in case.

Standby 1 music piece which alll 4 of you knows (just a simple one would do)

The remuneration will be $50 per person.
We will let you sign a payment voucher on the day and we will mail the cheque to you.

Kindly provide the full names, IC number, and contact number for all 4 people so that I can submit to the location's security before this Sunday.


Ok that was the details. But I would still like those who are interested to inform me first. If the result turn out to be unexpected, I'll have no choice but to cancel it. So yeah! Faster tell me! XD

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I just recevied a call from someone working in mediacorp. They require 4 violinist in one of their scene, I guess. 2 guys and 2 girls. They need it on the 29th of December at 7.30am at MediaCorp. It is ok if you cant play well as they say there is no need for you to play. They will be providing the music while you just pretend to play. And of course, YOU WILL BE PAID! $50 per pax. However, there are some conditions to be approved 1st. So give me call or a sms if you are interested. :)

moving of clubhouse

hi all including alumni

i believe most of you have heard about the demolition of block 73 and canteen one..
the area will be replaced with a culture theatre. thus by either the end of this year(dec) or beginning next year,
we will not have our music room and clubhouse anymore!!!! *sobx*
so you guys better cherish the place and freedom we have in our clubhouse now.
and keep the clubhouse and music room clean..

please please..please.. tell you all so many times already!!..
hahaha....
our new clubhouse..might not have this advantage (slacking in the clubhouse or just sitting around chatting)
that's all.. see you around in school and STRINGS TOO!!
please say hi to each other when entering clubhouse..!!!
and practise more.. EVALUATION coming!!

HELLO :)

It's been a great night yesterday. CHEERS TO NPSTRINGS! I would like to thank many of the people who has helped npstrings along the way through Virtuoso.

Virtuoso XV has come a long long way. The planning and everything comes at the start of the year. It seems like just yesterday that i've submitted the proposal of having Virtuoso, and that the fact is Virtuoso is over yesterday already!

Thanks to all performers who've performed! What is a performance with organizing committee but no performers? You all have done a great job! and that everyone of you is the pride of Npstrings and I am proud of you! :)

Thanks to the vice president of virtuoso comm and the club president, Annabel. She's been really busy with her attachment but she is still able to commit to the club and the concert. :)

To the Instructors, the CIs for their hard work. The coordinators for a hard job coordinating movement and attendance. The librarians for all the wonderful pieces. The Backstage for all the logistics and behind the scenes. The backstage crew who has really been lovely and helpful throughout the concert. The Ushers for the frontline crew for having such good disposition. The welfare, ticketing and publicity officers for making the Virtuoso into such great concert. The Band and guest players for their help. The alumni players performing with us. The alumni watching us. The members for pushing the ticket sales and that we achieved more than 70% of the audience. To every single one of us who has helped in making this concert an enjoyable one.

And finally thankyou to Shirley who has written thanks to all these people.

I know that its been quite an emotional ride with Virtuoso harping. I might not be that experienced or wonderful as an organizer, but all of you are certainly great performers with a big personality. thankyou all for cooperating with me or at some times tolerating me and some of my craps all these while. There might not be a long time i've spent with you all but it's certainly fantastic.

All in all, thankyou for making Virtuoso XV a HUGE SUCCESSSSSSS.

Till Virtuoso XVI.

for the last time,
Shirley
Virtuoso XV President :)

Hello folks!

This is an update on the audition. Due to poor response for the audition and some participants requesting for more time for preparation, we’ve decided to postpone the audition once again to 12 April 2008 (Saturday). The time and venue of the audition has yet to be confirmed. Sorry for the inconveniences caused to any of you. Any objections or suggestion to this change are welcomed. Do let Wei Sheng or Zi Ning know.Participants, who intend to form small groups, take note that 8 players are the most you can go.Last but not least, I would like to encourage members to take part in the audition. We wouldn’t know your talent if you don’t show. (:

Cheers,Zi Ning
