? 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.

On monday, we had to report at 6am.
After setting up our instruments, we did warm ups and.. before you know it, it's already 7.30am! - time to set off!

Upon arriving, we were asked to stand in our rows.
The marshall was super fierce arh! He actually counted down 5, 4, 3 , 2, 1. But we still weren't ready. Then he shrugged in a.. somewhat pissed off manner.
After we were in our rows, he explain that no playing of instruments in the holding area.

At the holding area we saw st andrews.
Miss Lee suddenly said that however miss lim looks in what she's wearing, don't exclaim.
Then! In my mind, suddenly this image of miss lim wearing an alarm clock suit appeared. xDD
But i knew it was impossible lah.
THEN! miss lim came out in her.. eh hem.. thingie. LOL. a long robe thing.. -_-
It was their (st andrews) turn to go into the tuning room.
When they played their tuning note in the tuning room i went o.o" cause it was very loud.

OUR turn to go into the tuning room!
tune tune tune..
Go out.. went upstairs..
Miss lim told us some stuff.. (I CAN'T REMEMBER! OMG.)

Our turn to go in..
Played sunrise first..
My turn to play the.. de de de de!~ you know! then si hao didn't come in!
I thought i played wrongly and wanted to stop.
But i saw miss lim mouthing something like..

nevermind. just continue.

After playing all our songs, we went off..
Mun yee broke down.
Saying that she squeaked and how bad it was.
BUT infact.. NO ONE HEARD HER SQUEAK ARH! (except for herself. -______-")
Then miss lim told us that we did our best and everything..
Then she went on to talk about the sec 4s.

I started to cry lah! Because stella taught me since i was sec 1.. and everything.
all the jokes we shared... )):

Went back to school for lessons..
I couldn't concentrate at all! I kept on huming the tune of to dance.. or war dance as miss lim says..
and i'm sure, many of you couldn't concentrate right!

After school, i saw alot of people already walking towards the band room. (i was at miss kong's homeroom.)
I quickly took my bag and everything and dashed to the band room. ANDD as a result i left the WHOLE packet of lollipops there.

At the band room, mrs chin talked to us..
saying that the band has come so far and that they are pleased with the results.
And miss lee announced that we got bronze.
Many people said that mr teow told us to prepare for a COP because our sunrise was not well played.
But seriously, up till the last moment, i still believed we still had a chance of getting a silver.

From where we started until where we are now, in such a short time..
Really. Nothing is impossible.

EH?! I write until so emo liao.
But seriously. Although we didn't get a silver which is what we aimed for, we have gained many things in the process of working towards this goal.

Friendships, endurance.. believing we can do it..
I'm sure all these are more important than the silver.

Alright.. I should stop here. in case i get even more emotional.

TATA.
