If the striking pink posters around school have not managed to catch your eye, perhaps the cardboard picketers’ signs will have. The Humanities Initiative is back for the third year running with its annual charity concert, LIKE A R!OT, in support of their long-time beneficiary Toa Payoh Care Corner (TPCC), an organisation that supports the elderly living in the area. We stopped briefly by their rehearsal after school on Monday to bring you our pre-concert impressions.

On 4 and 5 June 2012, the Raffles Institution Chinese Chess Club hosted the 27th Raffles Cup. The annual Raffles Cup has traditionally been co-organised by Raffles Institution and the Singapore Xiangqi General Association (Sixga) with the objectives of stimulating interest in the game. This year’s instalment was held at the Indoor Sports Hall, with four categories: junior college, secondary school, blitz and female.

Last Friday night, COMMA held The Audition, a follow-up of 2011’s The Rehearsal. Performers persevered despite a disappointing turnout (less than half the RI auditorium) and an increasingly glitchy sound system to provide slightly over 2 hours of entertainment.

As the school term came to an end (thank goodness!), Guitar Ensemble welcomed the wearied souls of teachers and students alike to enjoy a night of fun and musical entertainment. Indeed, there were so many guests that a certain unfortunate reporter was reduced to being seated at the top level of the theatre. However, this definitely did not in any way diminish the wonderful performance that unfolded on the (far) stage below.
