Note 2: The MC question will be repeated on the screens just before and during the intermission. Student helpers of
SRRSH will carry boxes and collect the completed answer sheets from the audience during intermission.
Note 3: One of the sponsors/VIPs will come up on stage and select two correct answers (from different schools) from a
box. Prizes will be presented to the winning schools. (We may need to stress that those are prizes to their schools)
Note 4: On each performance day, emcees will remind the audience to visit our website on 26 May for the final results.
Ask them to refer to P.?? of the programme book for the website details.
