Outram Concert Band awarded the Certificate of Distinction at the SYF Arts Presentation 2017
Outram Concert Band awarded the Certificate of Distinction at the SYF Arts Presentation 2017
Since the last outing at the
Singapore Arts Festival (SYF) in 2013, the Outram Concert Band has undergone a metamorphosis.
The new motto, ‘One Band, One Heart’ signifies a pursuit of excellence and
appreciation of music that unifies all members. Starting from the basics in
2016, members picked up the fundamentals; from breathing,
blowing, learning musical elements to
counting rhythms. From regular practice
sessions to intensive music-training camps, our young members who had
practically no background in music, grew fast into budding musicians, spending
hours singing and playing music together. Wanting to share this
new-found passion in music, the Concert Band took part in the SYF Arts
Presentation 2017, (Wind Ensemble Category) for the first time.
On 25 April 2017, the Outram Concert Band took the stage
at the NUS – University Cultural Centre, under the baton of our Music Director, Mr Shaun Leoi. They performed two
contrasting pieces, ‘Intrada II’ composed by Satoshi Yagisawa, and ‘Over Great Waves and
Far Away’, composed by Yo Goto. Judged by local and
international adjudicators in the music scene, the band stood the test and brought
home the Certificate of Distinction.
The road to success allowed
the members to learn valuable lessons about resilience and teamwork, and that
the strength of the band is only as strong as its weakest members. They understood that practices required their time and commitment to congregate, and work through weaknesses as
they hone their musical skills. This Distinction would not
have been possible without the support of the school, teachers and
parents. The Concert Band will continue to seek opportunities to showcase
and share our music and experiences with our friends.
