2008, What's Going On??

20th June
Perak State Marching Band Competition 2008

The Perak State Marching Band of 2008 held on 20th June at Stadium Perak. It was a superb wonderful night for every AMC Marching Band member. There was 6 teams from SMK Ave Maria Convent, SMK Sam Tet, SMK San Min, SMK Perempuan Perak, SMk Methodist and SMK Nan Hwa. We were the first team on that night. And our show begun. We heated up the whole stadium and the audience. Everybody screamed for us. It made us move forward. The 10+ minutes was really short for us. We really hope our show will never end. Lastly, it was the glory moment. A splendid march out done.
Everyone of us shone on the field. Especially our beloved drum major Lau Kar Mun and conductor Fiona. You two really pretty at the night as teacher said. We proud of you. And so do the two new little conductors. Well done.
Congratulation to everyone of AMC Marching Band who work hard for the competition. Although we just got the second place, but it made sense. In our heart, we are already the winners for ourselves.

9th July
Trumpeting Out The Beijing Olympics


74 members of AMC Marching Band went Beijing to take part in the Beijing International Band Festival 2008 – Trumpeting Out the Beijing Olympics together with 10 parents, teacher advisors and band instructor. The Beijing International Band Festival works towards expanding the love and passion of music throughout the world. The cultures of China were shared with the rest of the country in the world and it encouraged further understanding of the spirit of the Olympics. The first performance in China was done at the Olympics Cultural Square. The band had exposed them to the sense of marching band by performing formation. Everyone was amazed by our show. Whereas the indoor concert was held in Zhong Yin Music College’s concert hall. We had made the chance to know friends from the Hong Kong CWSS school band. It was a great honour for us to be invited to perform for the closing ceremony of the music festival. Seriously we enjoyed ourselves on the stage and so we did a very good job during the concert. While joining the music festival, we were able to visit Beijing within the 8 days. We went to some well-known historical sites such as Tian An Men Square, Forbidden City, Great Wall, Summer Palace and National Zoo. In the other hand, we visited the factory which make jade and pearl. Lastly, congratulations and thank you for all the member of the band for creating sweet memories during the Beijing‘s trip and hopefully the band will have more chance to showcase themselves internationally.

Here are some photo sharing:









22nd - 31st August
Merdeka 9days' KL Trip


We brought back memories from the 9 days staying at KL for the merdeka marching parade that on 31st August. It wa a long but yet short journey for us. Still remember when the first moment reaching the Kompleks Sukan Cochraine, the just okay okay condition of the rooms, toilets and so on made us so wanted to go home. But after few days staying there, and meeting new friends from CH Miri and Lok Yuk band, it's worth it. And very luckily, we had chance to go visiting at the Sunway Pyramid and the Sunway University College. That's the only day we spent outside besides rehersal at dataran merdeka.

Here, i would like to share something regarding our rehersal and practice. Firstly, we woke up very early in the morning for the rehersal session at dataran merdeka. We reached there very early, so we just simply sleep besides waiting at the roadside. What a unique experience for us. And of course we had practices for better performance on the merdeka day. Although every single rehersal and practice was tiring and exhausting, we finally did the best on the big day and made ourselves proud. Congratulation for winning Champion of the merdeka maching parade. It was a great opportunity to involve and improve ourselves. And last but not least, thanks everyone who work hard to attain the trip especially teacher advisors who take good care and guide us.








That's conclude the big events on 2008.
