Farewell 2022

As the saying goes, "Everything that has a beginning comes to an end", and this time it's the end of our beloved form 5s seniors who dedicated their high school years to band. We hosted a farewell event at bandroom themed "Memories" as we reminisce their memories from the very start of their band life. 

During that day, there were entertaining programs such as performances prepared by each form and also a video made by our organizing committee that bring us back from the sad atmosphere. 

As form 5s are stepping into a new stage of their lives, we would like to wish you all the best and hope to see you soon.
