BAND!!
Days of hard work, pratices and rehearsals had finally come to an end!! I hope all of you had enjoyed both nights for the School Anniversary and Montage! To the seniors who had performed, all our hard work had paid off! We did it! GOOD JOB!! Even though our band was the smallest that day, our sound was super loud and good! A lot of comments for the band that day. Not only we were good in playing, we were the enthu ones overall! Disco lives had made the choir members all sang and dance at the back stage while we were playing that song. Good job to those who actually tried your best to dance and move along with the music! Everyone's proud of the band!
I hope both nights of performances had brought the band to another level od standard and stronger bonds.Was a beautiful experience and all of you should appreciate it. I am sure all of you had great timesn nights and memories.
Thanks to the sec 4s and 5s seniors for helping and play with us in the concert. It was our last time performing together with them. Hope there will be another chance when we could get them to play with us again! Don' forget about the band seniors! Good luck for your O'levels! The band will always support you all!!
Oh! Remember to come on Wednesday, for the last practice before the CCa steps down. There will not be any Tuesday practice! We will be celebrating for the Sec4s and 5s last day. This is to end the last day with the seniors with a proper closure. We will have free time from 3 to 4 with the seniors. And we will continue practices for the next 2 hours for our Hong Kong trip. PLease dont forget about the HK trip. Wednesday is our last day! DO TURN UP!! Its our last day to be together with the seniors! Take pictures and spent your time well!
See you guys! Study hard for your Mid-Year-Exams! Stop slacking and day dreaming! Time to wake up and study smart! Start your revisions! Jia You!! Don't just be good in music, do everything to the fullest and get god grades too! We can do it! (=

Manjusri Concert Band
The band was first formed in 1982 and started off as a military band. Over the years, it evolved into the concert band of today.
Currently with about 50 members, the band has a dedicated team of young musicians and has strong support from the school. The band is one of the more popular co-curricular activity groups in the school and “striving towards excellence” is what the band believes in.
Focusing on enriching the members in music, discipline and team-spirit, the band organises camps, music exchange programmes and workshops to improve the skills of its members. The Manjusri Secondary School Concert Band clinched the Silver Award at the 2003, 2005 and 2007 Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging for Concert Bands. In the 2005 Sentosa Balloon Hats Festival, the band was awarded the 3rd Prize in the People’s Choice Award.
The band also performed its first public concert, mbrosia, at the Singapore Conference Hall in December 2007. A collaboration with Gan Eng Seng School Military Band, mbrosia was a platform for the band to showcase its talents. The collaborative effort proved to be an excellent opportunity for both bands to share ideas, creativity and good practices with each other. It also developed the band’s technical and musical skills.
In addition to mbrosia, the band has also performed during the school’s biannual production for performing arts groups, Montage, in 2004, 2006 and 2008. This production provides partnership opportunities for the Manjusri Choir, Dance Club, Chinese Orchestra and Concert Band to come together for a group effort to develop their standard of professionalism.
Led by resident conductor Simon Foo, and Brass Instructor Ng Kay Lim, it is the aspiration of the Manjusri Concert Band to achieve greater heights and aim for synergy in all aspects of the art of music-making.
