Teck Whye Concert Band was officially formed in 2003 after departing from a long illustrious history of a marching band tradition.
The band motto, Unique and Versatile, propels the band from the fields to the concert stage with an intrepid spirit for excellence in performance.
Under the direction of Mr. Tan Beng Wee, the concert band at its infancy, remarkably achieved a bronze medal in the 2005 Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging of Concert Bands.
The current membership stands at sixty, and together with the Teck Whye Alumni Band, we aspire to be the ultimate platform for character development of our students and aesthetic expression through music.

Do you guys enjoy music?
yes? no?
you gotta enjoy to get the results you want
but enjoying itself won't make the piece sound good..
techniques..
practice techniques to make it sound good..
Technique makes a piece sound good..
Enjoying the piece while playing the piece will make it sound enjoyable n heavenly..
Unforgetable..

for some of you, this may be a good news for you. heard that we are playing Ascentium & no more Foxfire. actually, Foxfire is a good piece, thinking that we need a long time to show Mr Tan that wat we can play, he was sure to be feeling sad because we miss out the big chance to play a new piece. So wat are all of you going to do ? work double hard to give Mr Tan a good quality of sound. SYF is over. So ? can we have the spirit of SYF to be back, so that the sound produce will be triple times better than the SYF sound. to mantain a good quality of sound. Practice.. the band room can be open all day for you, why not do it. Ascentium, Phantom, Mambo... three songs only ? if all of u can work that hard.. why not add in one more song.. we can.. is wat we can.. dun give up on urself.. as i know he may feel a little tired teaching us.. but we must also give in to him & give u a GREAT BIG THANKS on the PC that day. Band, dun let him down, play and perform for HIM, as well as the 1000 over audience. ok ? strive hard.. we will always get it if we want to.. Ascentium.. SYF piece.. sure no problem right ? Do it well.. smile..
