Syf Outdoor band performance
Syf Outdoor Band performance is taken place 1 year after the indoor performance.. in this event there are 2 types of category the 'display band' and the 'assesment of marching bands'.
Starting off the event was the 'assesment of marching bands' in this event band are judged by how proper thier marching and playing of the music are.. it is quite a tough thing to play an instrument while marching as you cannot look at the music scores and thus need to memorise it... and thats not all... while marching they also need to take note of thier dressings and all thus they must be able to do all those together... although this event was not the main highlights that everyone was looking out for, but it got the crowd's spirit up..
next up, the 'display band' event.. in this event the band are judged by how they interprete the theme of that year and show it through music n formation.. the challenge here is much high as band need to play instrument and "perform" at the same time. there are some really good bands...
this here is the video of Deyi Secondary School Band.. they are the overall winning of the event. once u watched the performance u would understand what i meant.. they got the crowds cheering n excited. it was a totally awsome performance.

and here we have the Tanjong Katong Secondary School Band.. it was a close battle between tkss and dyss. this 2 schools are the main bands that the crowd are looking forward to as they did excellent performances for last few SYFs.. from the sound of the crowd cheering you can feel how popular they were..
overall the performance was great and it was an unforgettable event.. the effort they put in must be great or else they would not have such a great performance.. it is hard for them to juggle between indoor and outdoor as they take place 1 year after another thus making it even more challenging.
in my secondary school days i enjoyed marching and playing instrument at the same time as it was fun.. but also tough at the same time.. marching under the hot sun makes u wear out quickly plus playing the instrument.. the way of playing instrument indoor and outdoor are different.. in outdoor, more air need to be used as the sound cant be projected. where as in indoor lesser air is needed as the sound will bounce off the wall.. sometimes other uniform group thinks that what we do are easier than thiers but in actual fact band is much tougher than what they think. for major events we have to memorise different songs for different uniform group to march in and out and we had to march out while playing our march out piece as well..
marching is a tough thing to do with instrument but however with the will to do it, we can do it.
rhaposody&sound-feel that beat at its best.
