DALT-ers!

These are the suggestions which we have went through last Thursday, please take note of those highlighted one especially!

Approved:
1. PT before moving equipment, won't be in carpark.
2. COMPULSORY morning run as a CCA (Every Monday morning before school, no specific time, but must complete what PT head has come up with.) w.e.f. Week 7 Monday 30 April 2012
3. More bonding time. (We will have breakfast after Monday's morning run and during CCA you all can bond as well.)
4. Have wheels on drums to facilitate movement of drums. (We will have them because of musical and will be permanent.)
5. Debrief can be a bit shorter. (We're working on that, provided you all read your emails!)
6. Buy cupboard. (Considering that, and sorting out the DALT room as well.)
7. Clean window planes (We will clean that during mass cleaning up in June hols)

Not approved/Already in place:
1. Too hot, may go to track or quadrangle for certain training. (By default, training venue is carpark but we're now trying out outdoors like field, provided it doesn't rain!)
2. More games during PT. (PT is supposed to train our stamina, we can have games once in a while but not every time.)
3. Step by step training for LD. (We already have that, but you can tell us if we are too fast or too slow.)
4. Don't wear trackpants. (This is a matter of discipline and we are very strict on this, so all must wear trackpants or CCA.)
5. Start a little earlier. (Not possible because there is remedial till 3.30pm and we will disturb them.)
6. Have more CCA sessions. (You can go Hongkah North CC @ Bukit Gombak - 教练's CC on Saturday afternoon if you think you need more practice or brushing up!)
7. Start and end CCA earlier. (A lot of CCA also ends at 6pm or later so it's not practical for us to end earlier.)
8. Have more equipment. (No budget and no space, please treasure the equipment we have currently and use them wisely.)
9. P.T. to be more routine. (You can feedback to the PT head if you find PT very boring or too easy for you.)
10. Practise lion dance as a whole troupe (We must learn the basics of every section first before coordination.)
11. Train back up (Training in progress! Everyone must put in effort in this!)
12. More attires (We're thinking of another set of attire for drums, please give us feedback and suggestions!)

Other rules that will be put in place:
1. CCA officially ends at 6pm, including debrief but excluding time used to move equipment.
2. Be more efficient, less slack during CCA. (This will need the discipline and coordination of everyone in DALT!)
3. 2.30pm to 3.30pm is remedial time so do not use CCA as an excuse to not go for remedial and come for CCA immediately after remedial.
4. PT head will record the time used to move equipment to and fro DALT room.

5. All must wear skirt or trackpants home, no one (including those who stay in Boarding School) is allowed to wear only shorts home (unless your parents are fetching you in school).6. During drum training, two people carry 2 drums together and see if there're anything else to help out and not just assume that everything is carried out/other people will do them.
7. During any training, if you do not have anything to do, please find something to do and not slack around and chat. (e.g. you want to play 龙乐 but not sure if you can, ask seniors first)


With effect from Week 6 CCA session (26 April 2012)!
