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..
You can find more details here:

Hope I helped

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
