Goodbye, Farewell

On the 26^th of October, we bid adieu to our beloved form 5’s during our annual Farewell Party. It was rather spooky with the theme being Halloween and some of the Form 5’s even came wearing scary masks!

Visitors from Oceania

On the 29^th of July, we were visited by the Rosehill College Band from New Zealand and had an interactive concert with them in the Dewan Bro. Phillipe Wu. But during their visit there was more than just music from them, we were treated to a performance of the traditional Maori dance; The Haka. The Haka is an ancestral dance performed by Maori tribes before they went to battle. The dance incorporates aggressive movements and loud chanting used to intimidate their enemies before their battles. But it was made internationally famous by the New Zealand national rugby team, The All Blacks who perform it before each of their matches.

G'day Mate!

On the 3rd of July, we opened the doors of our Dewan Bro. Phillipe Wu to the Carine Senior High School Band from Perth, Australia for an interaction and a combined performance by both bands. The school board, students as well as our own ex-members were present for the free Matinee performance which included performances by the CHS Sinfonietta and Kelab Kebudayaan. Apart from a concert band, the Carine Senior High School Band also consists of their string, guitar and choir sections which all performed as well.

Gerko Day 2013

Hey readers! Sorry for not updating our band blog for such a long time. Now I will be starting to update news about Gerko Day.

So, we just had our Hari Gerko on the 11th (Friday). A large amount of students had singed up for band on that day. It was indeed a great news to us. With a greater number of members, our band will achieve and reach a higher and better state. 

Many of us scouted the school compound for new members while some stayed in band room to welcome and guide students who went up. We put up a total of two shows in the school hall and at the netball court, performing " Princess Mononoke " , " Sherek Dance Party " and " Can't Buy Me Love " .

As a whole, it was a good Gerko Day and members were pleased with the number of new incoming members.

Welcome to CHS Band!
