? 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.

OK. Now we've received official news when CCA is starting (yippee!!!), here's a few facts and figures for you guys to chew on.
Number of Rehearsal Days to National Day Performance - 5
Number of songs to rehearse - 1 (National Anthem, never practiced before)
Number of Rehearsal Days to CLAP@Toa Payoh - 8
Number of songs to rehearse - 6 (5 never practiced before)
Need I stress that the schedule is TIGHTTTTT!?!?!?!?
Here's how we CAN complete the performances. Provided everybody does it.
EveryONE needs to practice their pieces and learn their notes AT HOME. You still have a week.
SECTION LEADERS - YOU need to start looking and checking on your section, especially the juniors.
Isn't life exciting? (:

How have you guys been? It kinda feels like the holiday break again (at least, for me la!) whilst I wait EAGERLY for band practice to start again (: In the meantime, I hope all of you are following the guidelines and remember WHY band practices have to be canceled. Please make all these precautions worth it. PLEASE also complete your school work and start early revision of your subjects, especially the Sec 3s. Not having your holiday homework collected doesn't mean you don't need to do it :S
To help keep your mind on music (just in case you guys didn't bring home your instruments/ mouthpieces to practice... I hope NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT....), here are some 'assignments' for each of you. Please help to spread the word to members who don't check the blog regularly enough.
This is how it works - I will assign a few questions every few days, to which you guys need to go and find the answers. There are many options available for you to get the answers, but I hope you guys are NOT going to tell your Mom:'Give me back the computer cable Mom, my band instructor needs me to surf the internet!' *lol*
Here are your questions for today. It's real easy, just give me the definitions for the following Italian musical terms:
i) Allegro
ii)Andante
iii) Largo
iv) Presto
v) The terms from (i) - (iv) are used to describe ___________ of the piece.
Answers should be written on a piece of paper and submitted at the first band practice. There will be penalty issued for the tally of wrong answers submitted. e.g. 5 wrong answers - keep all the music stands for 1 practice.
Keep checking the blog for the next few questions! (:
