21-10-2014: National children's theatre call for auditions for a new band
JOIN A BAND! HAVE FUN MAKING MUSIC WITH YOUR PEERS. In addition, eminent authorities say that cultural activities play an integral role in developing a balanced individual!
This music program will give learners practice and experience in skills that reach far beyond musical notes and instruments. Without realising it, children gain experience in many non-musical life-skills that will have a positive impact on their future lives as adults. One band director quoted the Harris Poll that found that 73% of CEO’s from Fortune 1000 companies were involved in music programs in high school.
Open to all children aged 10-17 - must have a musical instrument
