Oversees the running of guitar ensemble.

Vice-chairman:
Aids the chairman. Adminstrative.

Secretary:
Admin. Attendance. In charge of $$$.

Publicity ic:
Publicise cca, poster/banner-making. Liase with other ccas.

SLs:
Teach other members. Coordinate a section.

However, our job scopes do over-lap because we ought to help out one another in the exco! And you don't need to be in the exco to help out. Even as a non-exco member, you can as heavily involved in guitar stuff too! :D

Welcome J1s! :D
Hope you all had fun today learning King's Spirited Away song! Frankly speaking Spirited Away is one of my favorite movie. Maybe we can consider a movie marathon for the next guitar bonding session? :D

And do feedback regarding the orientation!

To those applying for exco, i wish you all the best. Here are some tips:
1. Know your strength and weaknesses.
2. It pays to be honest and to admit your weakness(&work on it).
3. Sincerity matters (be it in your application/interview)
4. Prioritize! (If you're thinking of using guitar exco as your back-up plan should you not make it to house comm/SC, i suggest you re-think because one person only has 24 hours)
