The Hwa Chong Institution High School Band (formerly known as The Chinese High School Band) is a concert band run in a military style. While there is focus on the indoor aspect, the band also has outdoor skills. The band plays concert music but also does drills and marches. As a concert band, the band has performed at Suntec City, in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and in the school. The band has performed for the former President of Singapore, S. R. Nathan, and taken part in the National Day Parade 2001, together with Commonwealth Secondary School Band. The band has organised workshops with professionals, and exchange programmes with other school bands. The band went to Perth in 1999, and Hawaii in 2000, for a two-week course of musical experience and training, which ended with a performance competition in which they won a gold medal. They participated in the bi-annual Singapore Youth Festival Central Band Judging, where they won a Gold in 1999 and a Gold with Honors in 2009, the highest achievable award in the SYF Band Judging. The band took part in the biannual SYF Outdoor Assessment For Marching School Bands, but stopped in 2000 to focus on the symphonic aspect of the band.
