We like the school but it is under band 2. Is there is drop in the standard?

According to MOE,
No banding - 8 schools
Band 1 - 10 schools
Band 2 - 9 schools
Band 3 - 5 schools
are available in 2011.

I wish, my girl could get into no Banding school.

However, all are depending on students PSLE marks.

The most important is a student set her/his mind.

I have a true story in my time.

A boy got 281 marks when he was in P6 and became a Hwa Chong student.
He did not score well during 4 years and finally, he was kicked out by HC, end up in NY JC.

His A level was very good.
Now he is a doctor.

A moral of the story, A level is important than PSLE.

Sometime, a dream school can be in nightmare.

All the best!

Heard that the band is good, but will it need some tests or auditions? :?

Hi! I'm an MEP student from TKGS. You should be fine since your certificates are over Grade 3 (minimum requirement) so long as they are from ABRSM or an equivalent. You will still need to take an aural test and a practical test (on your primary instrument, performing 2 contrasting pieces). Pass it and we might meet next year! Are you coming on 22 Dec? Heehee, I'll be there
Seriously consider MEP if you are a very musically inclined person. I didn't use to like music much, but I grew really passionate about it just after a few months... Btw, our school Symphonic Band is pretty good, we've been scoring Gs & GWHs for years yes, you will need to audition for it..

Hello. You are MEP student now? What grade are you in @ primary 6 and how did you get in through MEP?
Thank You for your very detailed explaination. But for the symphonic Band matters, if i am new, which means I am going there to pick up a new instrument (my desire instruments: Flute, Oboe,Clarinet), how can i pass the audition with my current learning instrument which is not in the band?
Hope you can help me solve my queries. Thank You~ :please:

Even if you do not play a wind or percussion instrument, you can audition with whatever instrument you can play confidently (eg. Piano, violin). TKGSSB has accepted students who were not accepted into MEP. So if you can get through to MEP, you will probably be accepted into the Symphonic Band.
Hope I solved your enquiries
