Happy Chinese New Year!

The moderators of CHMBB's blog would like to wish everyone a very happy Chinese New Year!

May the year of the tiger bring good luck and hapiness all year round. However, as the celebration is nearing its end and school resumes tomorrow, we would like to advise members to start concentrating on their studies - especially the form 3's as your pra-PMR is just right around the corner.

Ergo, everyone must study smart and pass their tests with flying colours! Make our parents proud of us despite our active involvement in band.

Finally, we hope everyone had fun during the 'tuan bai' we had a few days ago. Treasure the memories as it's a once in a year event! =)



P.S. For those who still don't know who the new moderators are, you'll just have to wait and see.. suspense!

A Night To Remember!

Congratz CH Band! We have made our Band's first ever concert, 'Down Memory Lane with Mitsuo Nonami' a success! All of us did a very good job in this concert. We shone brightly throughout the night! But remember guys, we would not have made it if God was not with us, thank you Ga Li and ah Ben for leading us in prayers before the concert. Without them, our concert could have turned out differently.

Well guys, the concert is over now, it's time to alter our concentration back to our studies. Study hard! Don't let our parents feel disappointed in us. But that doesn't mean that we can utterly release all of our tension now, we still have to keep on practicing in order to maintain our standard. All sections MUST have sectional practice sections so that our band can keep on improving. Below are a few photos taken during the concert. enjoy!
