Euphonium Section

Euphonium Section! : D

Left to right: Felicia Tan, Gladys Sin, Fok Dan Hui

Our section has grown bigger in size! From 1 to 2 players now hahaha. Cos Felicia is graduating! ): Leaving the two of us, as named by Felicia as ‘Strawberry Shortcakes’ (Yes, it's because of height issues haha!)

Usually when you hear ‘hahahahahahaha ohhhhhmyyyygoddddddd hahahahahahahahaha’ in the room, it comes from us. That would be either because I (Danhui) mentioned something lame/stupid again, or Gladys has discovered something that no one had discovered (which is usually very funny) or Gladys and I have bullied Felicia in one way or another by saying things that are so un-laughable! (Yea we always have everlasting conversations!)

Here’s an extract of what a Euphonium is! (as extracted from wikipedia!) :

The euphonium is a tenor-voiced brass instrument. It derives its name from the Greek word euphonos, meaning "well-sounding" or
"sweet-voiced" (eu means "well" or "good" and phonium means "voice"). The euphonium is a valved instrument; nearly all current models are piston valved, though rotary valves models do exist.

A person who plays euphonium is sometimes called a euphophonist, euphoniumist or a euphonist, while British players often colloquially refer to themselves as euphists. Similarly, the instrument itself is sometimes referred to as eupho or euph." (that’s us! : D)

The euphonium has historically been and largely still is exclusively a band instrument, whether of the wind or brass variety, where it is frequently featured as a solo instrument. Thus, the euphonium has been called the "king of band instruments", or the "cello of the band", because of its similarity in timbre and ensemble role to the stringed instrument.

Last but not least, we make it a point to always make an everlasting conversation with our conductor to keep the music alive! : D
