Dear Alumni Members,
Firstly, CHSSB is having their SYF performance this WEDNESDAY, 1st of April, 3pm, at the Singapore Conference Hall and will be playing Alfred Reed’s ‘Golden Jubilee Overture’ as their choice piece under Mr David Glosz. Do go there to support the band if you are able to make it! We believe the session starts at 2pm, so go there earlier to queue for tickets! or else contact Mr Victor Tey, current band teacher in charge, for tickets. (email me for his number.)
Secondly, we understand that many alumni members have other commitments such as the upcoming SYF performances for JC bands, sports tournaments/training and the mid year exams. Thus, the alumni band will now take a break for a month or two, and do check back sometime (and your facebook inbox!) to see if there’s any new updates. Ultimately, we do understand that most members will come back only if there’s an upcoming event or performance to work towards, so don’t worry, we’ll try to find an event to work toward soon!
Thirdly, we wish to stress that the alumni band is not just for making music! Let’s utilise the facebook group fully by using it as a social tool too, ie to organise informal gatherings, discussions, and even advertise for concerts! Do write on the wall and check back on it often, or if you wish to send out a mass facebook message to the rest regarding an upcoming event or concert, don’t hesitate to contact one of us admins of the facebook group! Whom are, Daniel Lim, Mr Victor Tey, and Terrence Wong. :D
If you can’t make it on Wednesday for the main band’s SYF performance but would like to show them some support, do visit the band anytime of the day (Monday and Tuesday) from the morning till 7pm and also write your well-wishes for them on the beige-coloured paper on the notice board in the band room!
As such there will be no rehearsals until further notice. Bookmark both the band webbie and the facebook group, and check back often! We wish you all the best in your upcoming SYF performances and exams! :D

Update 13th March
Hey Alumni Members!
Turnout for the 13th of March was pretty...few? Haha well there were only four people, which made us a little quartet. I wonder was it because it was Friday the Thirteenth...? Anyway, do come if you're interested! do be reminded, you DO NOT need to have a high level of playing skill to join! most of us are starting back from scratch anyway, so there's no 'standard' to pull down.
The gate will remain open for us to enter, but IN CASE it is really locked, please don't hesitate to contact me at 90110995. (Thanks Barry.) Please remember NOT to attempt to climb the walls for your own safety! :D
We're taking a break for one week, so the next practice will be on the 27th of March, Friday, 7pm. See you there!

WARNING!
Hey Alumni Members!
Please be warned; do NOT attempt to climb over the wall if you do happen to find the main gate locked! There's full of DANGEROUS SPIKY NAILS that line the upper part of the wall now to prevent intruders. :D
ENTER (by means of climbing over the wall) at your own risk...

Update 6th March
Hello All!
The first official alumni band practice commenced on the 6th of March, Friday at 7pm. We had a small turnout of 8 people:
1. Clinton Tay (2007)
2. Ingmar Salim (2007)
3. Lee En Hao (2007)
4. Yeo Ying Hao (2007)
5. Terrence Wong (2005)
6. Jonathan Lam (2005)
7. Mark Lee (2005)
8. Mr Victor Tey (???)
Even though we numbered only eight, it was enough to get started! With more than half of us having not played an instrument for a LONG time, the day’s simple session of long tones, tonguing, slur exercises and Bach chorales was enough to tire everyone out!
It really doesn’t matter whether you’re still playing in a band or have lost touch of your instrument for years. Quite a few of us out of the eight had lost touch too, but we managed to start out somewhere today! So alumni members, if you have the interest, do come back to play!
Next official practice will be on the 13th March, 7pm (Yes it’s a Friday the Thirteenth!) and we hope more will be able to make it for practice. See you there!
