Choir<br />

The <strong>Mayflower</strong> Secondary School Choir is a group of vibrant,<br />

young people who share a common love in singing. The<br />

aims are to provide opportunities to engage the community<br />

through singing, to grow in the pursuit of choral excellence,<br />

and to deepen the bonds shared through music-making.<br />

Under the skilful baton of the choir conductor, Mrs Tay<br />

Sze Chen since 2014, the choir has grown from strength to<br />

strength. The Choir was awarded its second Certificate of<br />

Distinction this year in the SYF Arts Presentation.<br />

In November 2016, the Choir performed at the Esplanade<br />

Concert Hall in the Limelight Series. The Choir embarked<br />

on an overseas choral trip in Hong Kong, having a public<br />

performance and school choral exchanges with two<br />

schools.<br />

In January this year, the Choir was also invited to perform<br />

at the Guild in Concert @ National Gallery Singapore.<br />

In February, the choir watched a performance by the<br />

Philippines Madrigal Singers at the Esplanade.<br />

The annual Inauguration Concert was held in April to<br />

welcome the Secondary 1 new members and to provide<br />

a platform for them to perform,<br />

A rare opportunity came by our choir once again in June<br />

<strong>2017</strong>. The Singapore Teachers Academy for the Arts<br />

(STAR) invited our choir to do a professional recording<br />

for them.<br />

Apart from developing the vocal quality of our<br />

members, various activities were organised to provide<br />

opportunities for our members to develop friendship. In<br />

March, a Choir Camp was organised and in July, Bubble<br />

Soccer was organised to provide an opportunity for our<br />

members to be engaged in sport activities.<br />

With the combined effort of the student leaders,<br />

conductors and the teachers, the choir will continue to<br />

grow as a family that sings together<br />
