Hi guys!
Below is an email from the organizers of the reunion (they want to find the choreographer for Speedy Gonzales :P ) Sorry for the any formatting that is lost in translation...

1. Inviting YOU to perform!
The committee has been working hard to plan an exciting programme for the council reunion. If you would like to perform, or nominate a fellow councillor to perform, please do get in touch with us! It could be a song/dance, stand-up comedy or a short sketch, a musical performance by a band you have set up... anything! We're counting on the enthusiasm of councillors to present a fantastic programme for everyone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Did YOU choreograph or compose any of the Hwa Chong dances or songs?
What's a reunion without a walk down memory lane? We hope to be able to track down the composers and choreographers of various songs, dances or cheers which have become part and parcel of the Hwa Chong school culture and council culture all these years. If you, or someone you might know, were involved in the composition or choreography of any of these, please let us know. It would be a great honour to have the creator of every song or dance to lead generations of councillors in what has become so integral to our council experience!
College Mass Dances:
I've Got My Mind Set On You
Beechwood
