Telematch 2015

Band is not just about hard core practices but having fun too, as the adage goes all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Band members need some fun in their band life too, right? Thus, on the 29th of September 2015, a telematch was held. A variety of games were organized, such as Balloon King, Bingo, Capture the Flag and Agar.io. Surely you can picture the scene, members running around with big smiles hanging on their faces and joyous laughter reverberated through the sports center as they strived to win the best group award. What happen to the worst group? You might be wondering. Well, they were hit with a plate of whip cream straight into their face! 

I Love Malaysia

In conjuction with the National Day, Yeo Hiap Seng Bhd or well known as Yeo's and Harian Metro had launched their "I Love Malaysia" campaign at The New Straits Time Press on the 28th of July. With much honour, our brass and percussion members were invited to perform an opening for this event. Together with the local artists, we led the audience to sing Tanggal Tiga Puluh Satu with much enthusiasm. At the end of this event, the emcee roared merdeka as we waved the Jalur Gemilang flag too. This was indeed a great experience for our members.

AGM 2015

Music Camp 2015

The annual Music camp was held at Felda Residence Trolak, Perak from 9^th to 12^th of June this year. We were really fortunate to be able to attend workshops given by the prestigious Thai tutor, Mr. Surapol. He gave us really useful advice that will serve us well for the days to come. The band camp was filled with tons of fun as the members bonded together. After the 4 days 3 nights camp, we organized a mini concert dedicated to parents of members who have worked tirelessly behind the screens. It was really tired, no doubt, but the band camp was indeed something that each member will never forget!

Safety First

The Royal Malaysian Police of Petaling Jaya organized a public safety campaign which was held at PJ Walk on the 30^th of May and we were invited to perform at the event. We were also presented with a commemorative certificate as a token of appreciation which our teacher advisor, Pn. Too proudly accepted.

Happy Teachers Day!

On the 22^nd of May, we performed for the Karnival Hari Guru Daerah Petaling Utama to celebrate teachers day. We performed 3 songs titled Putra Putri, Hujan di Tengah Hari and Two Worlds to a huge crowd of teachers and students which were gathered at the Dataran Petaling jaya.. And on the 23^rd, a drumline was sent to lead the procession for the officiating of the event. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our beloved tutor, Sir Eric and all our teacher advisors for all their help and guidance they have given us!
