Hello members! Firstly, thank you Afiq for helping to update this very dead band blog. Thank You!
Sorry for not updating always, but now i'm looking for people who are willing to volunteer to help to post updates of the band always. If you're willing to, pls look for me and i'll pass you the user/pw. Of course, i will continue to update everyone on the impt events. (:
Ystd Mr Surapol, one of the best conductor in Asia came to had a workshop with us with his band from Thailand. I hope that everyone of you have learned something from his band members. And i guess everyone of us was very amazed when they played Alvamar Overture because they could play it so well when its just sight-reading. So, we must work even harder to be even better! I believe that we can do it. Just no more slacking, and be serious so we'll move a step up towards our goal. Hope that we can have more workshops like this! :)
Updates on upcoming events:
The Philharmonic Winds Concert featuring Guest Band: Nontri Orchestra Winds (Mr Surapol's band) on the 6th Dec, 7.30 pm at Esplanade. Members who've ordered your tickets, please meet me at the Esplanade at 6.45pm sharp. I will send msg to all section leaders to pass down this msg. Spread it too! Tyvm:) More details @ Sgbandfusion

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.
