The Band
The Bedok North Secondary School Band first started out as a brass band in 1982.
By 1985, they were ready to be converted into a military band. In 1986 and 1988, the band made a bold attempt by participating in the 'SYF Indorr Band Competition for secondary Schools
In 1992, the school military band went for SYF 1992 Parade of Bands. With a combined effort between our band and Whampoa Secondary School, we managed to entertain all the onlookers as the band marched on.
