Dear bandmembers!

Some of you may not know it, but Pei Xin Primary School has successfully merged with Yishun Primary! Please do take note that even though the name Pei Xin ceases to exist in the signboards, all you have to do is to go to Yishun Primary School instead to watch the routines of this top primary school band.

Also, I will be scheduling a visit to their practice on this coming Saturday for those who are not so sure of the way there. Please contact any of the majors if you would like to join this entourage.

Meeting Schedule:

Saturday 12.30pm
Tiong Bahru MRT Station



Take care,
Jacksonputra
