? About Us - BMCB

The Bukit Merah Concert Band consists of a team of enthusiastic young people who have the same passion for music.
This year, the band's membership had increased to 70+ and it also has undergone quite a number of changes.

Under the baton of our conductor, Ms Esther Lim, we have performed in various events such as Chinese New Year, Sec1 Orientation, Speech Day & National Day.
We also had band exchanges with Henderson, Yu Ying, Si Ling & MacPherson Secondary School.
Through these activities, we had learnt something from the people in other bands.
Last year, the band have lots of events like the Festivo, National Day performances, Competiton etc.. The band also went to Hongkong for masterclass and a school exchange together with a performance at the Disneyland. Now we are working forward for the SYF.

I am really really sorry for the delay in posting about the band BBQ.
The past few days i've been trying to catch up on my studies and studying for tests.
ROAR. AND tomorrow i still have tests and make up tests.
BUT! I'm not going to delay posting anymore.
It's going to be kind of brief cause i can't really remember what happened.

key: (?) - unsure

On saturday, band members were supposed to meet at harbour front MRT station.
After awhile we were led to the bus stop to wait for bus.. 61(?)
After 5-10 minutes of waiting, andy went to check if the bus goes to tht bus stop.
ANDDD... NOPE! It doesn't!
We all went: "wah.."

Went back to the side which we were actually at to wait for the bus..
Bus came and we all boarded.
Then the bus was floooooded with band people. xD
Reached the bus stop where we had to alight..
Saw miss lee. She led us to the condo and before we went in, she told us we had to keep our volume down.
After going in, she told us that the day beforeour BBQ, there was a party and they made too much noise and the residents complained. =/

Two BBQ pits!
I can't remember who but if i did not remember wrongly.. I heard someone say..
Sec 3 and 4s relax. Sec 1 and 2s work! xD

At first i was really relaxing luh.
Sat down and chat with mei xian..
But then i started to feel guilty and went to help too.
Ms lim and mr teow came after 1 hour (?)
Mei xian and I tried to help start the fire. (which just wouldn't start after.. a looong time)
Then i told mei xian we should try fanning in the same direction and the same time so that the wind won't "clash" and thus, bigger wind! ((:

And mei xian started chanting "bu shuang" (not happy)
I joined in and fanned at the same time.
THEN! the fire got bigger! ((: YAY..

The drinks ran out and... miss lee (?) helped us ask if mrs chang could help us get some drinks on the way.
And mrs chang got 2 bottles of coke for us! yay!

The commitee members did a short skit for us.
Where andy is the conductor. and wen jie is the goddess.
A goddess who does tai ji that is. -_-"

Cutting of cake and presentation of mr teows farewell gift. )':
After that.. we had to clean up the area.


The later part.. I don't know. (because i left. my parents came mah..)
For the pictures.. I should be able to post it up on Friday.
I'm reaaaaaally really sorry.
