The highly anticipated band event of the year, “Festival Winds”, organized by the Band Directors’ Association (Singapore) is back for its fourth year running from the 20th-22nd and 24 December 2022!
Festival Winds is a premier musical experience for students (10 to 20-years-old) throughout Singapore to come together and perform with one another. This year, we have expanded the age group of the student participants to include upper primary school students as well! At Festival Winds, students will participate in masterclasses with an esteemed professional faculty and rehearse as an ensemble for 3 days. At the end of the Festival, students will put up a full length concert to demonstrate their growth and development at the state-of-the-art, Esplanade Concert Hall!
Following are the details of the event:
Date: 20th to 22nd, 24th December 2022
Time: 8:30 to 6pm (20th to 22nd Dec) / 10am to 10pm (24th Dec)

Upon application, students will be separated into 3 groups, based on their number of years of experience, and put through a series of intense ensemble and combined band training. The application fee includes provision of lunch for 3 days, dinner on concert day, Festival Winds t-shirt and soft-copy scores. Applicants will be required to bring their own instrument and make their own way to and fro from the venue(s) for the 4-day period, and to prepare the music beforehand to the best of their ability.
