- - MUG HARD EVERYONE - -
Once, again it's me!
HEY GUYS, EXAMS ARE COMING, REMEMBER TO STUDY STUDY STUDY!
Meanwhile, if you're bored of studying, then take a break and watch these videos!
It's all music related, but don't worry it's interesting!
I will survive by Igudesman and Joo
Alla Molto Turca by Igudesman and Joo
Super Mario on Violin
The two videos below are mainly for committee members (: BUT ALL OF YOU CAN WATCH TOO!
Remember the Variations of a theme from Paganini that Jasen talked about?
It'll be good if all the band members can listen to more music! (: It really helps you to listen better when we are having combine or sectionals, so you can spot mistakes easily, and understand the music that you're playing better.
If anyone is looking for The Merry Widow song, feel free to ask any of us for it! We'll send it through e-mail! :D
Ok, i'm stopping here.

Committee members, anyone who wants to update the blog can find us for the account and password.

Guangyang Secondary School Band has grown and matured significantly over the years. Under the direction of band instructors Mr Jasen How, Mr Goh Kim Seng and other guest instructors, the School Band has been making strides in its level of proficiency. Combined band practices are held twice weekly, and pupils also carry out sectional training as well as footdrill and formation practices. While the training is intensive, it has instilled in pupils a sense of discipline and passion to make good music. Games are also conducted to ensure that band members have fun too.
Besides being able to play well, other aspects of pupils' character development are also encouraged. For instance, they have contributed to the community by participating in numerous outdoor performances such as the ‘Music in the City’ series at Ngee Ann City in July 2007. Other activities such as band camps, held during the March, June and December holidays, helped our members foster a spirit of cooperation within the band.
In Year 2006, the school band participated for the first time in the SYF Assessment for Marching Bands and was awarded the Certificate of Distinction. In the year 2007, under the baton of Mr Wilson Ong, we were awarded the Bronze medal in the SYF Central Judging for Concert Bands. In the year 2009, under the baton of Mr Jasen How, we were awarded the Silver medal in the SYF Central Judging for Concert Bands. Also participating in Overseas Competitions, the band received the Silver award in the 21st Century International Arts Festival Band Competition 2009 held in Genting, Malaysia. With a bumper crop of 45 recruits in 2007 to a 100 stong band in 2009, the GYSS band looks forward to greater achievements and better music…. one band, one sound!!!

The origin of this blog is traced back to the era of which our secondary three members in the band were going through the NCO training programme. It was suggested in one of the meeting held among the NCOs, assigning Swee Han and Chun Heng with the task of management in the blog. And thus giving birth to the blog, gyss-bandd.blogspot.com, on the 15th October, 2007.
The function of this blog is to enable easeful communication between all members of the band – comments and opinions unable to express during normal band practices can be expressed here. However, band members are reminded to be sensitive and careful with speech in precaution of violation to other band members via derogatory, sarcastic or offensive remarks. Band members are advise to express themselves here on how they feel about practices, band, etc. This would ultimately allow better understanding of every individual in the band as well as forge cohesiveness and stronger bond amongst each other – one band, one sound.
