Agenda:

2. New Mission Statement

The Asian Students’ Coalition is an affinity group that creates community for Asian and Asian American students at St. Ignatius College Preparatory. ASC provides a place to explore, share, and discuss the various Asian and Asian American heritages, cultures, and identities. ASC promotes ongoing education and dialogue about Asian American issues and seeks to support and empower students to contribute to an inclusive school community.

FORMER:
The Asian Students’ Coalition of Saint Ignatius is a club based on the Jesuit belief of creating community. ASC strives to bring awareness of Asian American culture and issues to the surrounding community and to enrich the lives of the student body, by providing a safe place for students to share Asian and Asian American heritage, culture, and identity.
3. Debrief Student Council Retreat / "Freedom"

  • How it started: made a list of values and freedom was the one debated on, different thoughts:
    • No need to create freedom, because everyone has freedom in the U.S. (reference to Constitution)
    • Not everyone has freedom
  • What do you think?
    • Completely shut down the conversation after it got too intense, should have continued the conversation
  • How can we best support you?
    • ASC didn't really have an issue with the word freedom (observed), other leaders were debating
  • What are your needs at this time?
    • Be able to get together with other school leaders, specifically other affinity groups

Would ASC be interested in co-sponsoring our May Magis Movie Day on Monday, May 15th? We will be screening the film "The Grace Lee Project" and having a discussion afterwards. The 15th is the latest we can have Movie Day because the last GOYB write up is due on the 17th. 

  • Gen/Rachel- email Ms. Setiady to get more details 

Response on Wednesday:

Hi Rachel,
Great! We are excited that you are interested in co-sponsoring. There is not necessarily anything you need to do other than promoting the event to ASC. We will include ASC's name on the posters and in promoting the event on SITV and Twitter. 

Thanks,
Ms. Setiady

CNYP:

  • less choreo (no more pivoting!)

4. Spring Dance Concert?
Moderators
At your next club meeting, can you please extend an invitation to your membership?  We would love to have more clubs and affinity groups represented by dancing in the Spring Dance Concert. The Hawaiian Club has been holding it down and we have had past performances from HipHop club, we'd love to mix it up with other clubs who may have student members who specialize in other social or cultural dance forms.

It doesn't have to be a large group or a long performance, but it is a great opportunity to share styles that folks work on informally or study intensely outside of school, but don't get much opportunity to showcase on campus.

Performances are March 9-11
Tech rehearsals March 7 & 8

  • cultural dance?
  • Rachel will talk to Ms. Galvin and get further details

5. CYNP
- Practice Friday, February 10 after school at choral room?
- Send email with logistics: 
- Permission Slips email - Sr. Orque will send
- Need between 6 - 11 more people for our group
- Routine video
Please remind the students to dress warm and to wear dark colors (i.e. black, dark navy blue).

Some General Notes:

We're planning four lines total during the parade. (Please designate two leaders that will lead the S.I lines) 
Roses will be lit with line 1 having all orange, line 2 blue, line 3 orange, line 4 blue

-Always start out each pattern with the right foot stepping forward, and each step is a count (hopefully you can hear me in the video)

-Hold the roses in your right hand, and when waving the roses, wave them high so the crowd can see you

-Gents keep their left hands behind their lower backs

-Ladies keep their left hands down swing by their sides, and with their wrists bent.

-During the cross over between lines have fun! Feel free to throw in what ever moves you all want to do or better yet if you guys want to coordinate as a group and be creative on the cross overs we're all for it ;)

-Also during cross overs, the right line should always cross in front, lines 1 and 2 will cross between each other, and lines 3 and 4 will cross between each other

- In Pattern 2, the pivot in turns are meant to be in place but the hope to keep marching forward with the cross overs, this will take some practice =)

-Our apartment is tiny, so be sure when you practice to give yourselves plenty of space, to move forward.

-The routine starts with "Pattern 1" two times, then "Pattern 2 once," and then it just repeats

Pattern 1:
-Walk forward for 4 counts, 1. Right step - 2. Left Step - 3. Right Step - 4. Left Step (Sway the roses high with each step)

- Walk LOW for 4 counts, 5. Right step - 6. Left Step - 7. Right Step - 8. Left Step (now keeping the roses low and steady for contrast)

Pattern 2:
- Step out with the right foot on the 1st count, pivot and turn on the 2nd count

- Step out with the right foot on the 3rd count, pivot and turn on the 4th count

- Side step for 4 counts, 5, 6, 7, and 8... crossing over lines and waving or moving the rose (Right line always crosses in front)

- Step out with the right foot on the 1st count, pivot and turn on the 2nd count

- Step out with the right foot on the 3rd count, pivot and turn on the 4th count

- Side step for 4 counts, 5, 6, 7, and 8... crossing over lines and waving or moving the rose (Right line always crosses in front)
