Set-up - [27 June 2014]

After having a feedback session with the in-charge, we made some amendments to the layout of the stage to have a better view and lighting. For the second set-up, we managed to finish up 1 hour earlier. It was a huge improvement to the previous set-up as we were more familiarize and hence more efficient in moving the fixtures. 

Actual Day – [28 June 2014]


We reported at 8.30am to get ready for the arrival of the guests and alumni from SBM, SHS & SCL.
