Bedok Town Military Band
Establish in the 1980s
Bedok Town Military Band has a rich history dating back to the 1980s. With the Band Motto 'WE ARE FAMILY', we learnt to work in a team and perform music for our own pleasure and the pleasure of others. We have provided entertainment at school, public places and also community functions. To date the band has actively performed in various functions at the Istana, Mandai Zoo, Chingay Procession, MacRitchie Reservoir, Marina Square, Hougang Mall, War Memorial, Shangri-la Hotel, and our school's first musical night, Exposé 2004. The Band also had regular musical exchanges with other bands. The band held their successful concert 'Rhapsody II' at TJC Auditorium in June 2006 under our current instructor Mr. Xaven Chng. Recently, we had performed for the N.S Marathon at Suntec City.
