SYNOPSIS
The Commonwealth Military Band has a long and distinguished history spanning over 30 years. Over the years, the band has grown, clinching the Gold award in 2003, 2005 and 2007 and the Silver award in 2009 and 2011 at the Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging for Secondary School Bands. In 2006, the band also clinched a Gold award at the first Singapore MUSE festival and did the school proud by emerging as the top band.
The band strives for musical excellence and has taken great pride in representing the school at events such as the Watermark Awards Ceremony, SYF Concerts in the Park, Junior Band Festival, Percussion Festivals and Young People’s Symphonic Band. In 2010, the band presented a concert at the Esplanade Concert Hall to a rousing and supportive crowd. The performance was well received and the band members gained valuable stage experience from performing at a world-class venue.
Under the baton of the resident conductor Mr. Kenneth de Souza and co-conductor Mr. Sebastian Sim Yu Xuan, the band looks forward to the challenges ahead and will grow from strength to strength and to continue its tradition of musical excellence.
For this performance, their programme will include pieces such as Images of a City, Raise the Sun and Spring Breath March.
