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.

The Conductor
Mr Tan Aik Koon began his musical experience as a pianist when he was in primary school. When he joined his secondary shool's band, he picked up the trumpet under the guidance of members from the British Royal Marine Band. The young enthusiastic trumpeter has never looked back since.

For the past 30 years, Mr Tan has performed extensively as first-chair or lead trumpeter in various concert bands, symphony orchestras, jazz ensembles and studio recordings. In 2000, he branched into full-time band music education and music conducting. With his vast and diverse experience and knowledge, Mr Tan has gained recognition in the music education scene, both locally as well as overseas.

Mr Tan is currently the President of the Executive Committee of Singapore Wind Symphony (3-time Gold Medal Award Winner of World Music Contest) and also the Executive Council Member of the Band Directors' Association of Singapore. Mr Tan is the music director and conductor of Singapore Wind Symphony Youth Winds, Kim Seng Wind Symphony, Mayflower Secondary School Concert Band and our band. In addition, Mr Tan is also the 1st principal trumpeter of Singapore Wind Symphony and Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra.
