PCGHS Band

Date: 25-29/11/2019

Time: 8am – 1pm

Venue: First World Hotel, Genting Highlands

The start of the school holidays meant the start of the annual Music International Music and Arts Festival (MIMAF). After four months of practices, our band members were finally ready to face the competition. It was both an exciting and terrifying event at the same time; our members were very excited as they were able to stay in Genting Highlands with their friends for 5 days and 4 nights, while it was a nerve-racking experience for our newer members as this was their first competition. There were two songs that we presented during the competition: Concerto D’Amore and Ammerland. Our blood, sweat and tears paid off when we achieved Gold awards for the full band, brass ensemble and woodwinds ensemble categories. Our percussion ensemble also managed to score a Silver award.

The band members would like to thank our teacher advisor Ms Looi Ling Ling , the teachers who accompanied us throughout the whole event, our president, conductors, drum major and as always, all the helpers. We were glad that they were there to help us every step of the way.

Our woodwinds members were waiting outside for their turn to perform for the ensemble competition.
