Write up of the band:
Chong Boon Alumni Winds, the alumni band of Chong Boon Secondary School comprises of graduates from Chong Boon Concert Band. Although they have graduated, the alumni would return to Chong Boon Concert Band whenever time permits, to help their juniors improve and prepare for major concerts and competitions such as the bi-annual SYF. It was not long when the idea to form an alumni band, struck some of the alumni.

Putting thoughts in action, they banded together to gather the different batches of members who have the same passion for music. After much effort and with the support of the teachers and current band members, the Chong Boon Alumni Winds was finally formed in January this year with the strength of 20 members, consisting of members from the different batches all the way back to the year 2000.

Even with busy schedules such as work commitment, studies and national service, the alumni members committed themselves to the weekly or even bi-weekly practices. The Chong Boon Alumni Winds aim to bring all our alumni members together, and to let the juniors from Chong Boon Symphonic Band (previously known as Chong Boon Concert Band) to keep in touch with the alumni, and to know the upcoming plans and activites we have.
