Modern Day Funeral Band in Singapore
I bet you've not noticed. Those old uncles that used to play for funeral are gone! The next generation have emerged!
I still remember when i was much younger, bands for funeral always comes in a combination of 1 trumpet, 1 trombone, 1 saxaphone, a bunch of snare and a couple of bass drum. They sounds horrible and neither in tune nor in time. Still people pay huge money for their "effort". I was a trombonist during my secondary school days and i remembered starring at one of those funeral band's trombonist! Because i can't stand him faking his way through!
Guess time changed. Probably superband created some awareness that Singaporeans can play music in the unexpected way? This is infact the second funeral band that i've heard playing in such standard. My brother was commenting " It sounded like Hyde - X Japan's funeral! ".
I guess Singapore is finally moving into the music/arts world(though we still need loads of entertainment area).
