The Singapore International Band Festival (SIBF) is a biennial event established in 2008 by the Wind Bands Association of Singapore. SIBF has gained a reputation as a premier international platform in Asia, offering developmental opportunities for bands and maintaining high artistic integrity in its adjudication.
Through SIBF, wind bands and ensembles from around the world gather in Singapore to exchange musical ideas and ideals. The festival encourages musicians of all ages to continuously learn and strive for excellence at their own pace.
Competing on an international level, our students from the RGS Symphonic Band recently performed in Division 2A (aged 20 and below) despite being in a challenge level above their age group. They distinguished themselves among their fellow musicians, earning a Gold award for their performance.
Following the competition, our girls had the opportunity to attend a workshop and masterclass with adjudicator Surapol Thanyawibool from Thailand, gaining practical skills and insights into musical performance.
SIBF also fosters international exchange, allowing participants to meet fellow musicians from diverse cultures, share musical experiences, and build networks for future collaborations.
