Choir
On 13 April 2011 , the AHS Choir participated in the SYF Central Judging and clinched another Gold Award for the third time since 2007 . Under the tutelage of their instructor Mr Terrence Toh , the choir performed three culturally distinct songs . The pieces range from a contemporary discordant piece by local composer Kelly Tang , a traditional Japanese song by Matsushita Ko , as well as a sacred piece by Randall Stroope . This challenging repertoire honed the choir ’ s versatile ability to transit seamlessly between 3 divergent pieces and exposed the students to a wide range of works that spanned different genres , cultures and historical periods .
English Drama
On 4th April 2011 , the AHS English Drama participated in the SYF Central Judging , attaining the Bronze Award . With Rebecca Tan of Class 4F as the lead actress , the drama group staged a production of the play “ How Did the Cat Get So Fat ”? by local playwright Zizi Majid . Under the instruction of theatre practitioner Ms Chio Su Ping , members worked hard to dramatize a complex play that critiqued the social inequalities in Singapore ’ s society . During the preparation process , they realised and appreciated the value of teamwork .
Guitar Ensemble
The AHS Guitar Ensemble clinched a Gold Award at the SYF Competition after a gruelling preparation process . Apart from having to perform 2 pieces of contrasting musical styles , the 40-member ensemble also had to master virtuosic guitar techniques their challenging repertoire demanded . This was also the first time in the history of the guitar ensemble that the majority of participants were beginners from Secondary 2 . Nonetheless , under the tutelage of their instructor Mr Frankie Shi and the guidance of the Secondary 4 seniors , the ensemble ’ s hard work paid off .
Concert Band
On the 7 April 2011 , the AHS Concert Band participated in the SYF Central Judging . After months of exhausting practices , the band ’ s hard work paid off when it managed to clinch the Gold Award — a prestigious honour awarded to only 18 schools this year . With its atmospheric interpretation of “ Danse Diabolique ” and their lively rendition of “ The Singapore Flyer ”, the AHS band managed to capture the hearts of the judges and audience alike with their heartfelt performances .
