Hello stringers :)
Regarding exco elections, please submit your exco forms by this coming Friday, 15th May 2009. You can simply drop me an sms, or meet me in the Strings room in the morning :)
There are several posts you can run for:
1. President
2. Vice President
- deals with administrative issues
- takes care of discipline issues
- assists the President
3. Treasurer
- deals with almost anything related to $$$ in the cca
- collect money from stringers
- manages the Strings Fund
- in charge of tickets during concerts (issuing tickets, collecting ticket money, calculating our profits, etc.)
- in charge of FOOD (ordering dinner/lunch during longgg cca practices, concerts, etc.) and making sure everyone pays for food they ordered!
- when people buy stuff for the CCA, MUST collect the receipt from them before using the fund to pay them back
4. Librarian
- related to the welfare and maintenance of scores
- various drawers and cupboards in the strings room (which contains scores) should be properly managed and organised by the librarian
- in charge of copying scores for the whole ensemble and ensuring that all members have a copy of the current repertoire
- before concerts and performances, the librarian should also keep tabs on original scores and ensure that all are intact before and after the event. Should anyone misplace their original score, the librarian is in charge of supplying them with a new one and imposing the appropriate fine. If the photocopied score is misplaced, it is the responsibility of the Stringer to photocopy it himself/herself.

- includes taking charge of birthdays, purchasing of meals during late-practices/snacks for the orchestra, bonding matters, and assisting in maintaining basic discipline.
But, remember that your job scope isn't limited to simply your role and honestly, theres so much more to be done than what is being written here (but these are the basic golden rules). As a member of an exco wholly, and as a member of the String Orchestra, we all help each other bring out the best in everyone in the Orchestra and bring strings to greater heights together (:
there'll be more writeups on the roles soon so do keep checking the blog! :D
Exco interviews will TENTATIVELY be on 18th and 19th May (if there are changes we will let you know).
love
