Concert Band
Join BLS Concert Band to learn an instrument and grow as a musician and leader through performances, competitions, and committee roles.
BLS Concert Band nurtures disciplined leaders with excellent musicianship. Our programmes empower students to become independent and forward-looking leaders by providing various opportunities such as sectional leadership, committee roles and participation in our senior-led sectional system.
The band constantly strives to hone and sharpen our musical skills through theoretical and practical assessments. Seeking intra-school and collaborative performance opportunities with our counterparts in other schools, the band builds members’ confidence and grants them stage exposure. With an enriching and exciting programme, we instill the love of music in all members and empower them to discover the best version of themselves through the art of music.
So if you are interested in music and would love to learn how to play a musical instrument, come join the Concert Band family!

What leadership opportunities are there?
In the band there is a committee structure that consists of

Every student will be given the opportunity to shine. In BLS Concert Band, we adopt a progression system where students will be trained to manage smaller duties before taking on larger responsibilities.
