Today was the outdoor display band SYF 2008. Being quite a outdoor band fanatic, this is something that i won't want to miss. The entire syf was remarkable and enjoyable with lots of unexpected surprises. The best bands that i saw were tanjong katong sec, deyi sec and bukit panjang gov. high.
Taken some snap of certain schools:
Bukit Panjang Government high with a very strong and solid formation and music.
Yusok Ishak sec
West Spring sec
Found this little cute boy who tries to imitate like a drum major with an umbrella as a mase.
Deyi Sec
As expected, bowen once again choses a female to be their DM. A sex appeal?? Probably.
Results from what i recall:
Military Band Assesment,
Yuying sec: certificate of distinction
Hwa Chong: certificate of distinction
North vista: certifiate of pass
Guang yang: certificate of merit

TK band really put alot of effort in every aspect. As their theme was Asian hence they got alot of extras to act as chinese warriors as well as 2 dragon dancing. Deyi theme was phantom of the opera with spanish feel. They got extras to act as spanish dancers and the most surprising thing was they use baby powder as a form of create a mist to the entire field. Stinky but innovative. Next, the surprising was they actually included "SPANIA" into one their songs. The song reminds me of the time when we play this for our pathetic formation. Bowen theme was also chinese while every band members dressed as like taliban leaders performing KUNGFU and using knife as one of the props. Bukit panjang theme was malay hence they have malay dancers performing.
Next outdoor band SYF is 2010... Long way to go.
