RIGE began in 1990 as a core co-curricular activity in our school, Raffles Institution. Since then, RIGE has developed to become one of the best school ensembles in Singapore, winning Gold awards in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) competition in 2003 and 2005, and most recently, the Gold with Honours award in 2007.

RIGE prides itself not only in achieving outstanding results in competitions, but also on bonding its members together through many activities such as orientation programmes and overnight camps in school. We encourage interaction between members so as to foster close bonds with one another, thus forming a united CCA as a whole. We also encourage our members to have sensitivity towards to community, and expand their scope outside of school. RIGE engages its members in a variety of Community projects like busking to raise funds for the needy and performances for patients at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Through this, we hope to raise a sense of awareness amongst our members, and allow them to use their talents to make a difference in the community. Besides all these, RIGE also holds annual concerts, as well as in-school performances.
