One of the school's three performing arts CCA, the concert band is known to be a music-making group that is always eager to explore new or creative ways of music-making. Besides working hard for the bi-annual Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging of Concert Bands and school functions like the Annual Speech and Prize Presentation Day, the band also diversifies its music-making efforts to include STOMP and samba percussion routine in its repertoire.

Just a reminder... We have OFFICIALLY 92 DAYS LEFT TILL SYF!!!!! Let's all work doubly hard and achieve that silver, SHALL WE?????!!!!! :):)
Nothing comes easy, you have to fight for it. Without a member, everything in the band will be incomplete. Even if there's 90% of the band attendance, without one, everything seems empty.
ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE FAMILY! :):)
Tanya.. :):)

Please be reminded that Band Practice is still like usual on Saturday, 27th December 2008. Falling in is at 7.50am SHARP. ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY. Anyway, It's your second last Practice for this year! So, SLs, Please make sure your members turn up for these practices . We DON'T accept reasons like having tuition or work. Please RESCHEDULE your personal commitments. If you fall sick,and couldn't attend the band practice, it's a MUST for you to hand in a medical certificate to any of the teachers on the NEXT band practice. We CANNOT afford to waste any more time bandsmen, SYF is just 1,2,3 months away! So, Please start practicing hard and smart on your instruments and let's all work together to get the SILVER medal award.
Take care, Stay healthy. Eat more fruits and more vegetables. Lastly, Drink lots of plain water!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
