Edgefield Secondary School 2017 Open House

18 November 2017 marks the day of our school's open house for primary 6 students and their parents.

To prepare for this prestigious event, we had a band rehearsal on the 17th.

                           

                                  Meanwhile, teachers had helped to set up our very own band booth.

Our own student conductor, Angel, is conducting us again ! Proud of her.

                   

 Thanks to those who had helped out at the Band booth !

                           

                                And of course, to the many P6s and parents who attended ...

                Concert Band had indeed put up a remarkable performance, well done to members !

 Lastly, a big shoutout to parents who came along with their children to our booth. We had appreciated their interest and queries.

                 

Will we be seeing some of those familiar faces again the coming year ? We certainly hope so !

Band Day Camp 2017

 To kickstart the camp, we had bonding games followed by practice. Some seniors came back and joined us playing 'shut up and dance' piece.

 This is the challenge trail activity where members were blindfolded and carefully guided by leaders around the school.

 Through this activity, the qualities of Trust, Confidence and learning to respond in times of adversity were challenged.

 This tunnel-crawling segment taught members the importance of listening to instructions and acting them out courageously in order to move on.

 Seniors were there to ensure every participant's safety and enjoyment.

 Branches were used as obstacles - our edegfield 'hills'.

 Participants have to trust the person in front of them. If the front person turns left, the whole team would have to turn left as well.

 We ended with a bonding session where band members were also asked to shout out what they have learnt today. Some excellent responses were integrity, team work and caring for one another.

Band Day Camp 2017 ended with our favourite snacks and sweets !
Thank you to all who played a part ! 😋
