SBC Band Profile from Wikipedia

管樂團

聖文德書院管樂團成立於1972年，是香港著名學界管樂團。 最初由何厚昌先生負責訓練，是一隊步操樂隊，其後何先生離職。於1975年由前中央音樂學院教授黃日照出任音樂總監後，逐步轉型為演奏古典樂的管樂團，迄至於今。於1976年，黃日照教授為聖文德書院創作出《聖文德進行曲》，令聖文德書院成為全港唯一擁有自身進行曲的學校。
聖文德書院管樂團在「香港校際音樂節」的「銀樂隊中學組」，總共贏取過12次冠軍，其中更有連續6年冠軍的佳績。在香港管樂界寫下一項輝煌紀錄，至今（2013年）香港依然沒有其他學校可打破紀錄。
近10年，聖文德書院管樂團致力栽培音樂人才，畢業生攻讀大學和演藝學院音樂系的比例，亦是全港之冠。更有不少學生考取英、美、法、德等國音樂學府作持續進修，而且每年均有團員入讀港大、中大、浸大音樂系或香港演藝學院，堪稱香港學界管樂的中流砥柱。
