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.

Dear members

Firstly, we must really say that the majority of the band has put in a lot of effort in practicing your pieces and stuffs. A fairly good job done during the exchange. However, do not be complacent. As what Mr. Ng said, we are still a bronze band, far from a silver. We really have to say that there are a handful of people need to practice a lot more. The band is as strong as the weakest player, it's time to look around the band and set higher expectations. Everyone in the band must put in the effort so that we can progress better. Aim to sound as good or even better as the pieces you hear in the blog. The standard five, we need to achieve one more defence which is unknown to everyone of us. Come on, we have to greed for the last defence!

Secondly, We will be having an exchange with mayflower secondary school on the 30th of December which had achieve a silver medal last SYF. I have scheduled some practices and one day for video shoot to submit to the competition board which I find it very important for you guys to attend. It will be compulsory for each and every one of us to attend unless you are going for holidays, sick, or having lessons. So do make an effort to come.
