Sports Day


Our annual Sports Day has yet again arrived. We led the procession of the 5 sports houses and uniform groups for a parade around the school field while playing Perro Caliente and Tinggi di Angkasa Raya. This year, we did not get to perform our usual static performance but nonetheless we marched on. It was a day of much excitement as the members were able to watch the competitions going on and also meeting the ex-members who came to visit the bandroom.



Band Camp 2014


This year, the SM Sains Selangor Band from KL was invited to join our annual band camp. We held combined instrumental sectionals, section sectionals and concert practices together for the first 3 days of this 4 day camp practicing a few songs for a mini concert for family and friends on the night of the 3rd day
Here’s the list of songs we played:

Junior Band:       Chibi Maruko Medley
                          Divinium Mysterium
Senior Band:      Machu Picchu
                         Takarajima
Whole Band:      Memories of Friendship
Woodwind Ensemble:   Under the Sea  (Junior)
                                   Romeo and Juliet (Senior)
Brass Ensemble:            Air and Finale (Junior)
                                   The Lonely Goatherd (Senior)
Percussion Ensemble:    Stinkin’ Garbage
                                   Technology
Sinfonietta:        Gavotte
                         Somewhere Out There
                         Theme from Jurassic Park

We also had 2 very special guests from Taiwan who were a part of this camp as well, they were Mr. David Lin who taught the band and Ms. Sophia Teng who taught the Sinfonietta, for the first 3 days of this camp. But there were also tutors for each section who taught during instrumental and section sectional practices so there was a lot to be learned during those 3 days! We would like to thank Sir Eric, Mr. David, Ms. Sophia, Mr. Chan, our teacher advisers and all the tutors for making this camp a success.
