Concert Band
Join the SAJC Concert Band to grow in musical excellence and character, performing at events such as the Singapore Youth Festival and Christmas Concert.
At the SAJC Concert Band, we believe that music-making should be enjoyable and only then, would it be entertaining and uplifting for our audiences. We know that by working together as a tight-knitted Band, we are growing together both in our musical excellence and character. Being run in a self-directed manner, we constantly develop as leaders of self and others, actively contributing to the band with excellence, motivation and kindness.
Our performances, which feature our hard work to family and friends, include:
The annual Concert, either self-organised or as guest performers with our band alumni;
The Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation; and
Our Christmas Concert with the wider Saints Andrew’s Village bands, uniting our Junior, Secondary, JC and alumni bands in the spirit of “One Family Unbroken”.
We also use our musical skills to contribute to serve the wider community, such as conducting workshops and programmes for others who are keen to learn more about music.
The Band is conducted by our well-loved Conductor Mr Marvin Khoo, who graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA, with a Bachelor of Music (Jazz Composition).
