CCA Previews ’26: Raffles Chorale 
Reading Time: 3 minutes

By Raffles Chorale EXCO ‘26 

“There is no such beauty as where you belong.” 

If you’ve heard this line echoing through stairwells or seen it on the back of our jackets, that’s us: Raffles Chorale. This lyric comes from our legacy song The Road Home by Stephen Paulus, and honestly, it sums us up pretty well.

As a performing arts CCA, beauty, above all, is the ideal we strive to achieve. Chorale derives that beauty not just from working towards musical excellence in our performances, but—at the risk of sounding extremely clichéd—especially from the family that we have built.

Let us guess.  

You’re here because you saw the name, and thought it was all about the game. Once again, we are not those kinds of players.  

Or, you’re the kind of person who belts musicals in the shower, who shamelessly thinks that you’re the main character.

Perhaps you’ve been itching to get your hands on some power tools, to make a colourful mess while working on the creation of our backdrops. Maybe you’re angling to get your hands on our robust, recently-renovated Lights and Sounds system? Or maybe you’re just looking for a respite from the mundanity of everyday school life. 

Regardless, read on, because Raffles Players may be just the place for you!

Has that made you wonder about what the world of street dance looks like? Well, we may not be professionals with the answer, but here’s a glimpse of street dance as a CCA in our eyes!

CCA Previews ’26: Guitar Ensemble 
Reading Time: 4 minutes

By RJGE EXCO ‘26 

The air is still. Fingers rest gently on polished strings, eyes focused, ears tuned—the final seconds before the first strum. The baton lifts. A collective inhale. And suddenly, music. 

It starts as a whisper—a tremble of notes delicately woven together, each guitar line distinct but inseparable. Then, like a wave cresting in sunlight, the music blooms. Emotions rise and fall in arcs of harmony, tension, and release. On stage, we speak not in words, but in six strings and unspoken synchronicity. 

Welcome to the world of Raffles Guitar Ensemble (Year 5-6), or RJGE—where music binds, and every note is a shared heartbeat.
