Hi people,

Recently we had a jamming session but some of you cannot attend that day, wonder if any of you would like to have a jamming session again in march during the school holidays?

Should any of you would like to try busking during the march holidays can come look for me if you require some advice. ^_^

-Alan-

that would be great!! haha what about another jamming session during the march hoildays??

:lol: Times flies! I've joined SMC 1 year!!! :off:

-Alan

yeah..its a good idea... ^_^

Great minds think alike. I thought of organizing a jamming session during March holidays last night.

The venue? Date?

I suggest the 11th March, a saturday, the first day of the holidays.

Alan, is flourishing good enough for busking? I am really keen to try busking by doing flourishes. B)

- Ling.

na... we are just psychic haha

11th march... dam parent teacher meeting... I'm screwed haha

hi all,

Catch me (and some other buskers) on channel 8 this friday (3/3/06) 10.30pm on Frontline!

Topic is about Singapore busking scene and why people busk, how the audience look at buskers and the busker's thought about the audience. Got a little bit of juggling and magic in the topic as well...

This topic might help us when we busk during the March holidays, it'll bring up the awareness of Singapore's buskers, so for those who like to try busking do take a look...

Ling, if you're interested can meet up with me (contact me), busking is hard to explain over e-mails, there's many things to consider before you even try busking, and yes...flourishing is good enough, in fact busking do not require much skills except the basic...

Anyone else interested in busking also? Maybe we can have a "busker meet up" before the jamming in March.

-Alan-

YEAH...meeting in march please>.< man.. a lot of us are students and you know... non-holidays meetings can be a problem for us... Someone organize a meeting during March :P

Hey Alan.

I'll go discuss with all the flourishers and stuff first, then inform you again. Okay?

Sure, I will catch that TV show.

Thanks!

- Ling.

I hope the next jamming session will be on a Saturday cos although you guys will be having your holidays in March, my holidays will be in April! :(
At least, if its a Saturday, it will be just great for all... right? ^_^

Ok people of SMC, we have 2 saturdays to choose from: either 11th March 2006 or 18th March 2006...or anyone prefer both?

-Alan-

hey Multi-Talent still know me? i'm 1 of the guy asking you the Classics plam during the last jamming . anyway 11th March 2006, i can;t make it :( because i working at the computer "I T" show. if can i prefer 18th March 2006. :)

hey i think we should hold it on 11 of march and maybe every first sat of the month.... maybe at somewhere outdoor where there is more passer-by and we can do some close up tricks.... then it is like a fix event and ppl will know SMC :) ... maybe it will be like some attraction and ppl will come by every month to watch us perform :D hehehe..

Great idea!
I agree!
We will get to know one another better that way too! :D

haha good chance to get experience and exposure :g:

I would come if it falls on an empty slot on my scheldule.

Been wanting to hear about ideas from you guys and see some of your performances.

But then saturdays are put for me because I have church commitments. Sigh.

Ok SMC members, who wants to meet on 11th March? I won't be free on the 18th so I'll stick to 11th...time: 7pm-9pm possible?

Anyone agree on every 1st sat of the month? I agree! we can give it a try.

Those interested for jamming on 11th March please put your name here, thanks!

-Alan-

i agree on the 1st saturday meet us, but i may not be able to make it on the 11th :(

Alan, can we do it in the afternoons instead of at night? Around 3 or 4 pm?

I will be going on the 11th. ;)

No problem Ling, currently we fix it on the 11th March for this month, time u fix. Next month onward maybe we can start meeting on 1st sat of the month?

Everyone agree? Any rejection?

-Alan-

I agree with the 1st saturday of the month idea! :)
And I'll be there on the 11th ;)

yeah, the 1st saturday thing sounds good..
but i have a school carnival on the 11th.. so.. i'll pass on this 1.

(just for the pun: i'll riffle pass on this 1) rofl. not funny.

Seems like not much reply, how many of you interested in meeting on 11th March?

Some highlights - I'll be offering some tips on street performing:

*How to start street performing.
*Why street performing?
*Tips on gathering crowds.
*How to choose your location.
*What to offer to your audience.
*Maintaining your audience's interest.
*Hat lines (how to ask for $).
*Hackler management.

and many more...

I'll also cover some issue of rules and regulations on busking, where to/how to apply for your endosement letter, basic requirements etc...

Interested members please leave your name here, if the turn out is low most prob location will be at orchard, high turn out will be at esplanade underpass.
