SAF Central Band Outreach Programme

The SAF Central Band visited our school to perform for staff and students, covering various musical genres and works by local composers.

On 10th July 2024, we had the opportunity to host the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Central Band as a part of their outreach programme. This hybrid National Education and Arts Education programme exposed our students to various musical genres and music written by Singapore composers.

Director of Music ME5 Ignatius Wang shares anedotes and the history of the SAF band.
