Anyone have kids in band? Mine is now attending 4 times a week. It seems a bit too much. I was wondering if this is a norm or just starting this year?

Mine is also sec 2 and in the band. He is only doing 3 times a week this year. Wed, friday and sat. For friday, my impression is that it only happens when there are competition.

For 1st week, is the more days due to adhoc activities such as cca open house, performance to Sec 1? when school reopens, etc...

Recently, I heard that the school cancelled the annual cross country because the kids don’t like. I thought the school should encourage kids to exercise more than follow to their wish and slack. Today, when I check the Life of a Marist page, I was surprised that they have a cross country team and the team actually won some awards. I guess this might be the only school with a school team but don’t have the annual event. Any comments from parent here?

My DD has just finished 4 years in MSHS and just got his O Level results.

He was in the band.

During his time, band was only only Wed and Sat at the beginning.

It only get intensive when they are competing in the competition by which time, usually there is a camp meaning the camp in school for concentration and comradeship.

Band is very good becos MSHS Band is a top band, most of the time will win competition, also sure get -2 points for O levels.

Hope that helps ...

Not sure. Win is one thing, to get bonus point no need win actually. There's many other things to fufill to get bonus points now.

Can I know where do parents usually get black pant for the band’s performance? My ds got small waist only 24 inch - difficult to find and not enough time to tailor-made.

My DS was down with fever and missed the cross country last year.
He was disappointed when the rumour was confirmed that this year cross country was cancelled.

Today he told me cross country will be held on 1st April 2016 after school receiving many feedbacks. Hurray!

Start training this weekend.
