YELLOW RIBBON SONGWRITING
COMPETITION 2015
|
|
For the past 2 years, COMPASS is honoured
to partner Yellow Ribbon Project to organize the annual songwriting competition
within Changi Prison. This year being no different, COMPASS commenced
the Yellow Ribbon Songwriting Competition 2015 in March.
Participation for the Yellow Ribbon Project has always been
enthusiastic and overwhelming, and this year, the quality
of song submissions have improved. The finale performance will
be on the 16th of June 2015 where the finalists will compete
for the top 3 best compositions. Whilst information on the event is not
easily available due to security protocol, we hope to keep members
informed of this worthy community project to encourage everyone from
all walks of life to put their experiences into song and also because
we believe, Music could be the bridge to connect rehabilitated
individuals back to the community.
Stay tuned for updates on our Facebook. ¡Þ

SCHOOLYARD ASSEMBLY
SERIES
|
|
This
year, COMPASS will be conducting a series of songwriting workshops in
Schools, to introduce students to songwriting; encouraging them to pen
their youthful emotions and thoughts into song. This also provides a
fun avenue for educators to engage students in their language skills.
Secondary schools, Junior Colleges, Polytechnics and
Universities are all welcome to join these workshops, so do help spread
the word to teachers and lecturers who may be interested to introduce
songwriting to their students! ¡Þ

ELECTRONIC PAYMENT vs
TRADITIONAL CHEQUES
|
|
In order to reduce the stress and loss of post-mailed cheques, royalty payments from 2015 will be made
via interbank transfer (where possible).
Hence, we will be progressively updating member
records so that eventually, there will no
longer be a need for members to receive their royalty cheques in the mail and then find the time to
deposit the physical cheque into their bank
account.
Members who wish to update their bank details, may
do so by downloading the form HERE ¡Þ
