‘Victorian’ boys march into victory

Let the show begin: The VICCB staging its ‘Luminous Illumination’ at the championships.

MARCHING bands are often a spectacle to behold, with their musical performance, visual elements and synchronised movements.

Behind each successful show, however, is much blood, sweat and tears. Ivan Choong Yin Bong can vouch for it as he is a bagpiper and a colour guard of the Victoria Institution Cadet Corps Band (VICCB), which is the oldest such band in the country.
