Farewell 2017

We are back again for this year's farewell! The event was held on the 2nd of December 2017 in the bandroom and was themed "Two World's", where the form 5s were taken on a journey to discover that we are all still a big family, connected to each other even though they are about to embark on a different chapter in life. As we have a saying that goes :"the friends we believe, the love we trust, the hope we live, two worlds never apart".

There were also entertaining programmes like drama presentations from various forms, a slideshow presentation that took them down memory lane and not forgetting an inspiring talk session filled with laughter and tears from the form 5s. We are ever grateful for having them in our band lives and hope the best for them. See you next time!

The 29th SEA Games 2017

Today is D-DAY! We have all been counting down to this day and it has been an incredible journey. Catholic High School Band performed in the pre-event show for the opening ceremony of the 29th  South East Asian Games on the 19th of August 2017 along with 6 other school bands.

When the long-awaited moment arose, both excitement and anxiousness were tangible in the air. The band strode out and did their very best to perform a formation performance with the song "Perro Caliente" for the big audience at the breathtaking Stadium Bukit Jalil. It was truly a moment to capture.

After countless practices and rehearsals through rain or shine, the performance was one that will not be erased by time and we're glad to share it with you.

Sports Day 2017

A dewy Friday morning, exhilarating atmosphere, we are back again with the annual sports day of catholic High School!

Sports day was held on the 21st of July 2017 ad Catholic High School Band had a parade performance. The band marched in uniformly, following our newly elected drum major, Ethan Ting Sheng, while the strong and vibrant tunes of "Perro Caliente" and "Mambo" were being played. Excitement and cheer enveloped the entire field, overpowering the calm early morning.

The members put an immense amount of effort to prepare for this and it has definitely paid off as it i a joy to share this atmosphere through music to others.

This was a magnificent day filled with laughter, sweat and tears for all the students of CHS.

AGM 2017

Interaction with Ping Zhen High School, Taiwan

On the 6th of July, Ping Zhen High School Band had come and visited us for an interaction programme with our band. We get along very well with each other and smiles were written on faces. We enjoyed the time spent together.

Our band had performed 3 songs, "Hymn of The Highlands", "Phantom of the Opera", and "With Heart and Voice". It was indeed an unforgettable day for us.

Interaction with Carine Senior High School Band, Australia

Once again, we whole-heartedly welcomed Carine Senior High School Band from Perth, Australia for an interaction programme on the 5th of July 2017. Our band had an exchange with them 4 years ago, in 2013. We were happy and grateful to meet again!

During the interaction, members played some games to get to know each other and to lighten up the atmosphere! Then, we performed 3 songs for them, "Hymn of The Highlands", "Phantom of the Opera" and "With Heart and Voice”. It was indeed an enjoyable and memorable day for all of us.

Interaction with Lio Ho High School Band, Taiwan

Hello there! We are happy to share that our band had an interaction programme with Lio Ho High School Band all the way from Taiwan on the 1st of July 2017. Throughout the interaction, all members get along with each other very well and we had gained musical knowledge as well as experience, not forgetting the culture.

We had prepared a performance for them which included "Hymn of The Highlands", "Phantom of the Opera" and "With Heart and Voice”. Friendship was born between Catholic High School band and Lio Ho High School Band. It was indeed a meaningful day for us.

Music Camp 2017

And we're back with our annual music camp!
This year, the music camp was held on 29th of May to 1st of June at our own school. It was yet another memorable camp as our 4-day schedule was filled with fruitful concert practices conducted by Mr Lim Yean Hwee who was also our tutor for last year's music camp, instrumental and sectional tutorials by professional tutors, and also fun games and activities. It was a very good opportunity for us to not only gain important musical knowledge, but to strengthen the bond between the band members as well.
Last but not least, well done to the Organizing Committee for their hard work in conducting this year's music camp. 
Stay with us for our upcoming events!

Gerko Day 2017

Greetings to all!

It was yet another busy and eventful day for us CHS-ians. This year's Gerko Day was held on the of 13th of January, two weeks right after the Form Ones started their secondary school life in Catholic High School.

Similar to the past years, every uniform body, club and society had set up their respective booths in the school hall area to promote themselves to the Form Ones and to recruit new members. For this year's Gerko Day performance, we presented two songs to the audience - "Metalfare" and "J-Pop Stage Vol. 3".

We would like to welcome the new members to our band and let us work together to achieve greater goals!

Another busy day for CHS-ians.

Orientation Day 2016

Time flies, and it is the beginning of a new year again!

And of course, a new year means the arrival of a new batch of students to our school. This year's orientation day was on the 30th of December, and we performed "Welcome", a song that matched the purpose of the event perfectly - a warm welcome from us to the new students.

We also had a surprise for the audience. Our soloist performed right in the middle of the crowd, bringing the show closer to everyone who watched our performance that day.

Last but not least, dear new comers, welcome to Catholic High School and we hope you will enjoy your stay here. Cheers!

Going on stage in just a minute!
