Hi Alumni

thank you all for being around on sat for our first combined practice with the main band. I think the practice was pretty alright for the first round. My apologies for the lack of prep and getting all the scores ready. I've already feedback the librarian about it. Hopefully the next practice will be a lot more less messy and more organised.

Do take note, the next practice; also the final practice is Compulsory. So all have to be there.
Saturday, 8.45am in the bandroom.

As of now, there is not info about the reporting time on the actual day. But there will be a sound check in the afternoon. there will be buses to pick the alumni and main band from the school to Suntec. You are encouraged to follow the bus so that we have everyone arrive together. Please do make arrangements if possible to have your afternoon free on the 20th of NOV. I will post up more info about reporting time soon.

If you have any feedback or enquires, do email (hscaband@gmail.com) or contact Jonathan (mob:94789401).

Hai Sing Catholic Alumni Band
Welcome to the HSCAlumni Band webpage.

The Hai Sing Alumni Band has been actively involved in Hai Sing Catholic School. Since the formation of an extra-curricular activity(ECA) as a brass band in 1990 and then a wind band in 1995, the co-curricular activity has raised up many talented individuals who have made music their passion and carried on with it even as an alumni.

Alumni members of the HSC Band have always put in great support of her Alma Mater and the school’s Concert Band.

The HSC Alumni Band first took an active role since the school Concert Band’s first concert ‘A Christmas Story’ in 1999; the alumni and current students performing together. Thereafter, the Alumni Band was invited to play in a segment of future concerts such as the ‘Viva Musica' series (I, II, III, IV, and V).

The Alumni Band was invited to perform in the recent Hai Sing Carnival in March ’09. The 45min performance was a great success and brought a great experience to the school, alumni band and audience.

The Hai Sing Alumni Band will continue to be a support group to the school and school’s Concert Band. Under the umbrella of the Hai Sing Catholic Alumni and partnership of the HSC Concert Band, we hope to participate in many future school projects and even those hosted by the Concert Band and Alumni Band.
