The Hwa Chong Institution (High School) Band is going on a trip to Hawaii after the March Holidays. We are going to compete in a competition for school bands around the world. This is going to be a chance for our band to showcase their talents and for us to learn at an international level. Our band had also gone there in 2000 and was awarded a gold award. This golden opportunity has made our band practice and train day and night, hoping to get another gold award for the event. For this, we have sacrificed many hours reserved for doing homework and other projects. The hope of getting A1s in tests had already been abandoned. Family days are also scheduled for band practices. As Catholic High is also joining the competition this year, we have also done the “extra” effort to practice and play even harder for the competition. Sadly, I am not joining them on this “perilous journey” as I have to fly to another part of the world for holidays. However, I believe that the band will strive and put in their best performance of their lives there in Hawaii. Thank you!
