For ystd's band practice (17/08)
Mr Yeo commented that the band's discipline is getting from bad to worse and therefore we need to change for the better by this year! Section leaders, pls ensure that during sectionals, everyone is practicing and not slacking. All of you have to practice parts which you don't know and do not only practice parts which you know. PLEASE PRACTICE WITH A METRONOME EVERY TIME. And everyone is to get yourself a personal metronome! Please save up your pocket money to get a metronome for yourself ASAP! There will also be a performance coming up next week for our weekly assembly in school. Please do your best and stop slacking during practices!
For Clarinet, Saxophone section leader: Please ensure that everyone in your section has a minimum of 4 reeds each. Please take down the number of reeds you need and pass it to me by this Friday. Of course we do not wish to see what happened ystd about the last reed of one of the Saxophone player.
Percussion section leader: Please give me the allocation of instruments to everybody for the pieces of music that we're playing now by this Friday also.
FYI, THERE WOULD BE NO BAND PRACTICE THIS THURSDAY BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMON TEST. PLEASE STUDY FOR YOUR COMMON TEST TOO!
Thank you and see all of you next band practice.

About GSB
Greenridge Symphonic Band was previously once a Military Band before Greenridge Secondary School was named Dunearn Secondary Technical School in June 1991.
GSBians also participate in Competitions, CIP Programmes, Overseas Trip Exchange Programmes and so fourth. Competitions like Singapore Youth Festival (SYF), which held every odd year and Singapore International Band Festival. GSBians obtained many bronze award in the year of 1999, 2001, 2003 & 2007. And the one & only Silver Award in the year of 2005. Last year in 2009, we brought back another Bronze award, as we believe the medal is still yet unpolished to get the "Gold" in our hearts. And for our very first time, Singapore Internation Band Festival (SIBF) 2008, we obtained a Certificate Of Participation (COP) Award.
For Concerts in the Year 2006, like Montage I, which held at Zhenghua Square with other neighbouring schools and our performing arts w/o Chinese Orchestra. And our Spectrum I which held at Ngee Ann Convention Centre in the month of July with the fun of the whole Performing Arts Group. In the Year 2007, we had our Spectrum II held at Victoria Concert Hall in the month of November.
For Overseas Trip in the Year 2006 with Mr Tan Beng Wee and Teachers to Malacca, and had an exchange with 2 Schools, which are Yayasan Junior College & Pei Fong High. And in the Year 2007 with Mr Louis Yeo and Teachers, we had an exchange with students in Hong Kong.As for 2009, GSB had the honour to have an exchange with the Nontri Orchestra Winds during their stay here in Singapore.
2010 looks set to be an exciting year for GSB, with many performances such as Speech Day and our school's 45th anniversary. GSB also had a memorable exchange with Foon Yew High School in Malaysia during the june holidays which gave us great exposure to less fortunate bands. We look forward towards the 2 upcoming competitons, the NBC and SIBF during July in hopes of achieving great results.
