Brass Band

Join the Brass Band to build musical skills, teamwork, and character through ensemble performances and competitions.

Last updated 8 July 2026

St. Anthony’s Primary School’s Brass Band was formed in February 1994. The Brass Band CCA offers pupils a vibrant opportunity to develop musical talent, discipline, and teamwork through instrumental learning and ensemble performance. Members learn to play brass instruments such as the trumpet, trombone, euphonium, and tuba, or percussion instruments such as bass drums and xylophones. Members also participate in regular rehearsals to build their musical skills and confidence.

Students in uniform play brass instruments outdoors as a conductor leads them near a school mural.

A conductor leads a large group of young students playing brass instruments in a bright rehearsal room.

Students in school uniforms play brass instruments in rows facing a conductor during a band rehearsal indoors.

Beyond mastering their instruments, pupils experience the joy of making music together and performing for school events, community concerts, and national competitions such as the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation. Through their journey in the Brass Band, members cultivate perseverance, a strong sense of responsibility, and pride in representing the school.

Whether they are new to music or have prior experience, all pupils are welcome to join and grow as confident, expressive musicians. Our objective is -

To develop esprit de corps among members.
To nurture the musical talent of every band member.
To create opportunities for social and aesthetic experiences through practices and performances.

Musical:

Building the repertoire and technical standards of the band members.
Learning music theory and mastering the skill of playing a musical instrument.
