From: Council Reunion 2008
Dear Former Councillors and Council Teachers
The ticket ordering deadline is on the 31st of May. This leaves you about 2 more weeks to order your tickets, if you have not done so already! The details of the event are:
Date: 2nd August 2008
Time: Registration at 5:30; seating by 6:45pm
Venue: Hwa Chong Institution [College Section] Air Conditioned Multi-Purpose Hall
Ticket price: $50, student discount of $25 [applicable for current JC/university students]
Deadline: 31st May, 2008, midnight.
We have received very unenthusiastic response from the teachers. Teachers, please book your tickets today! You're not required to form a table as there will be a teacher's table. We hope that former councillors can help to persuade their respective teachers to come, as we are certain that their presence will make a huge difference!
If you don't already know, we are also tracking 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!

- I've Got My Mind Set On You
- Beechwood

- 当你孤单你会想起谁: [this was an adaptation from a commercial song, but we'd like to find who initiated it and added the extra lines]
- 细水长流: [commercial song]
- Never Forget: This is a new [English!] song composed by a non-councillor, but the recent batches will sing and introduce it to everyone
