? 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've received SMSes from you guys about the tuners. They are currently out of stock, I'll update you about the prices again when they are in Singapore.

In the meantime, you might want to consider:

1. persuading your graduating seniors to sell you their tuner sets at a 2ndhand price ;p
2. getting your Sec 1s to buy the tuners. Time to help them understand why it's SO important. It took some of you really LONG to understand why I was so particular about this (: If you can help with spreading the information to the Sec 1s, that would be great!

Dear Band,

I think it's been a very interesting road that we've journeyed on, and I hope that all of us can look back and learn the good and the bad. There were some days where practices were really terrible, and yet there were some where I would be really happy to be at rehearsals.

Award aside, do keep in mind that we have made progress over the past 2 years, and that we have allowance to make even more. Some things will change now (I'll explain more) and it's part and parcel of how we evolve as a band. Do not be disheartened, but take this all in our stride in our quest for improvement.

When we resume practices (I'll call it - The Next Lap), the expectations for the band are simple - get your notes and basic tuning done before you attend band practice. If anyone is interested in buying your own tuner still, let me know and I'll see if I can get some cheaper alternative. There are a lot of tuners in the band, but definitely not enough for one per person.

You should receive your new pieces by next Friday, please remember to commit 'You've Got The Beat' to memory. Please also take a good look at 'Amazing Grace' as we'll spend a bit of time working through that at the first few rehearsals.

What to expect the next few rehearsals - we move back to foundation training. For both the Sec 1s as well as to build up on whatever the seniors have. Please remember that your lungs and diaphragm are muscles that need to be exercised and conditioned, please do not stop practicing if you can.

In the meantime, there is still one more performance to go - Speech Day. Give it your best shot!

We do and we die together... Why? Because we are a music/happy-group (;
