Performance at KLCC Convention Centre

On the 22nd of January 2011, our percussion section piled into vans with their marching instruments and headed to the KLCC convention centre. An USANA held event awaited them, as they were to hold a short marching performance leading in a Very Important Person.

During 4 p.m., our percussionists, Encik Zamin, Miss Stephanie and the reserves gathered at the bandroom and prepared to depart. It may have not been a short journey from school to KLCC, but they managed to reach their destination at 4.30p.m. After a short rehearsal, the members were allowed to take a break for some time.

After having a delicious dinner, the members headed for the convention centre yet once again. Finally, at about 10 p.m., the members were given the cue to prepare. As the percussionist marched in playing the drum solo, the guests of the event looked with excitement! Following behind the percussionist was the VIP in a very pretty red dinner gown.

After marching out, the percussionist prepared to return to Catholic High School. And during 11.30p.m., the tired members and teachers went home to take a good rest.

Chung Ling High School Band Interaction

On the 19th December 2010, CHS Band had an opportunity to have an interaction with Chung Ling High School band, Penang.

At 7.30 a.m., all members of CHS Band were gathered at the bandroom determined to make this day a beneficial one. Before the Chung Ling High School band arrived, together we moved the percussion instruments to the hall in order to have more room for our guests. We then made the necessary preparations for the day.

When everything is settled, warm up and tunings began. Not too long after that, the Chung Ling High School band arrived accompanied by our band President, Alyssa Remesh and Vice President, Siow Ai Chia.

To start off with the programme, we perform three songs for them which is Rudolph's Christmas Overture, White Christmas and Christmas Recollections. After that, they too performed for us a few songs.

After their performance, we headed for refreshments. During this time, we were able to get to know each other better. We also were able to share our experiences in band. While we still had time, we took them to have a look at our bandroom.

At 11.30 a.m., we all gathered in the hall and led by our band tutor, Sir Eric and later by Chung Ling High School band tutor, Mr. Woon.

Before they left, a small gift was presented to Chung Ling High School band by our teacher advisor, Miss Stephanie. They too presented us a gift from their band.
