Hello band members, for those who does know what kind of shoe to buy, please take a look at the pictures on top. For the girls,

For the guys,

For the girls, wear skin pantyhose (Stockings) and black socks for the guys, ( no ankle socks!!!!!)

Also, remember to bring along some food in case you get hungry during the few hours. You are not allowed to go buy any food or wander around.

Christmas “Party”

We will be celebrating christmas together after the performance when we reach back in school. However we'll be haing log cakes and some juices at the mama shop area opposite the school. Every band members are invited to join if you can. It is not compulsory, so if your parents does not allow, den do NOT come. You can choose whether you want to come too.

Band,

I know many of you joined band because of your friends or whatever reason. Also,many of you have yet to grow an interest in your instrument, in music and in band. But whatever the reason is, you still have to do your marching properly. You were given a choice to choose your CCA. Since you've chosen band, den you have to do things that a band should do, and to do it right. This is your job. For secondary school band, SYF is important. But to be able to participate in the SYF, you have to be able to march. We have to send a video of you guys marching to the MOE and then they'll decide whether to reject or to approve. If you get rejected, you CANNOT participate in the SYF. If we continue with this kind of result, the school will just introduce a new CCA, Chinese Orchestra. When you have Chinese Orchestra, you'll be competing with them for recruits, and worse, share the band room with them. Then our band will just die off. It will not affect me as i will be already stepping down when such things happen. However, the juniors will be affected. You will never enjoy your band life as much as now. If that is what you want, then continue with that attitude. We can be the first batch that does not participate in the SYF.

Sec 3s, you guys have experienced this before. You are the oldest batch. You guys did better than the rest in marching. However, you did not do as well as before. When we were all in sec 1, doing the filming. Recall, were we doing much much better? I hope you guys will take the initiative to guide the juniors. I believe you guys are mature and understands the importance of marching.

Sec 1 and 2, you guys are usually the one causing all the troubles during the marching. You are not serious about marching. However i do not blame you as you are still inexperienced and still getting used to this. But still, it'd been a year and we already had alot of marching sessions. If you have been serious during those sessions, then there wouldn't be so much troubles and problems. You guys did not do your best, i can tell. I believe there is still alot of rooms for improvement. I DO NOT believe your standard is this low. Prove to me that you can do better. There is nothing that difficult about marching. The biggest problem you guys have is, not checking of dressing. Sweeling and nicholas have been coming back alot alot of times to help us in marching despite the fact that they'd already stepped down. DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM.

I do not wish to scold you, neither does any of the other majors and the ex-majors. We wish you all to have an enjoyable band life. But you all are really making things difficult for yourself, us, mr tan and our teachers in charge. Step into all our shoe and think for us. You do not have much time left to prepare for SYF, let alone marching. Let's finish this once and for all, do your best.


The Band

HuaYiConcertBand was formed in the year 2000 with a strength of more than 40 committed and enthusiastic students. In the past 10 years, the Band gained much support from the school and managed to earn some awards. Perhaps the most memorable achievement came in the year 2001 when the Band won her first bronze medal at the Singapore Youth Festival(SYF) Central Judging.

Though the years, the Band preserved her standard under the direction of Mr Tan Aik Koon, the first principal trumpeter of Singapore Wind Symphony and Braddell Height Symphony Orchestra. Currently, Mr Tan is also the President of the executive committee of Singapore Wind Symphony. To date, the Band has grown to more than double her original strength and has participated in many musical exchanges with other schools. The Band has also given several public performances at places such as MacRitchie Reservoir, Chinese Garden, Istana Park, Pasir Ris Park and Paragon Orchard.

In 2003, Hua Yi Band went to her second SYF and achieved a silver medal. The Band also maintained her honour by achieving her second silver SYF medal in the year 2005. Her third and fourth silver medal was achieved in 2007 and 2009 respectively. However, it is insufficient to bask in the glory of past achievements. The Band adopts the mentality to accept new challenges and continually strive for excellence.
