Hey all, Ray here. And since i'm so free today (haha I'm out sick) I shall tell you more about TONE, lest you happened to stumble upon our humble little blog by accident and you know nuts about us or A cappella. =)

Tone is the name of our A cappella group!
A cappella basically means singing without the use of and musical instruments (voices only).
Tone is a quintet with Angela as the Soprano (Highest female voice), Jasmine as the Alto (low female voice), Benjamin as the Tenor (high male voice), Rayner as the Baritone (middle ranged male voice) and Jeremy as the Bass (low male voice). Well, Actually we don't really stick to our supposed parts. Haha.

The original tone was formed way back, during the Christmas period of 2004. The members of Tone came and went.. From 8 members initially, to the 5 of us: Jasmine, Jeremy, Benjamin, Rayner, Angela. Haha and It'll stay that way. (I hope).

Manager of the Group (Our leader): Jeremy
Designer/IT in-charge : Angela
Resident Arranger : Rayner
Musical Director : Benjamin
Treasurer/unofficial score manager: Jasmine

Tone has performed in many many places. Wisma Atria, The Esplanade, Harbourfront point etc... Just to name a few. So if you're interested in finding out where's our next gig, stay tuned to this blog! Right now Tone is taking a study break until the end of our exams. We'll be performing during the Christmas period though. Watch out for us then!

Our official e-mail is jjbra.tone@gmail.com, so if you have any queries, compliments, complaints (I hope not) and what not, feel free to send us an e-mail or something yeah?

I'll be putting up some of our recordings i think (if the rest allow. haha.) watch out for updates ah.

Cheers,
Rayner

LOL! "B(ass)"... "Excuse me auntie, you got 34 C for ass?"

Hello hello.. Guess i'm the first official blogger here.

Well.. it has been a good past month or so in preparation for the performances and the competition. We have progressed really far within such short and tight rehearsals schedules. Glad we're going somewhere! This is how far we can go in just one month. So just imagine the progress that would come if we pursue forward for 3-6 months! 0_0

Tentative Plans for Tone:
1. Official hiatus till December or late November.
2. Prepare for X'mas
3. Prepare for (hopefully) full length concert next year March
4. Expand repertoire.
5. A simple CD perhaps?
6. An official website.

I think those things would come well on its way. Just have to be patient guys!

Woooo.. Just checked email. Ray arranged "Hey Baby" by no doubt.. Haha.. Sounds good.. Seems workable.. Haha. Never know what you can get out of Ray. Sometimes he just pops out and surprizes you with an arrangement and force you to sing it. And when you don't sing his arrangement, he will walk away and sulk at the toilet of wisma atria besides starbucks. That's why after performances he always disappear - coz we sang his arrangements badly.

Please believe what I say above.

Arrrghhh.. I am dying to harmonize (not that I do most of the time - basses go on their merry way i.e. I smoke my way thru songs)!
I have HWS - Harmony Withdrawal Syndrome.
I have so much HWS that i resorted to ask my sister and mother to harmonize this song on radio! AHhhhhhhh!

Ok. Off to study!
