Apart from the aforementioned activities we en- joyed a visit from the Drakensberg Boys' Choir on the 19 October last year. Their singing, delightful presenta- tion and general joie-de-vivre were an inspiration to us all. Our Concert - Staff!Parent!Past Pupils!Pupils was held on 23 March and was well attended by a most en- thusiastic audience. We are very grateful to all who par- ticipated, particularly Marian Foley CPhilip Lindner's motherj who charmed everyone with her beautiful sing- ing, and past pupil Shallice Cockram who played for us. Kirstenhof Primary School's Ensemble Evening took place on 29 March, and several of our musicians per- formed. It was a delightful evening and it is always so interesting to hear what pupils from other schools are doing. We had a further opportunity for listening to others, this time Choral items, when our two choirs sang at the Annual Choir Festival at Kirstenhof on 16 August. Grove Primary School hosted a Musical Eve- ning on Monday 19 September. There were many other schools there presenting a wide variety of items. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The third term ended with two concerts by our music pupils. The first for our Junior Cin performancej pupils was on the after- noon of Tuesday 20 September. Our Senior players had their turn on Thursday evening, 22 September. We are very grateful to all the parents who supported us, and the Catering Committee of the P.T.A. who supplied the refreshments. A special word of thanks to Mrs Jansen who is the un- tiring Music Representative for two of our music staff and to Mrs Fourie who represents the other music teacher. We really appreciate all they do for us and realise how fortunate we are to have them. Mrs I. K. Rabie

X BLUE nouug HIGHWAY Z 'D TO CAPE TOWN cxo MILITARY ROAD at MAIN ROAD RETREAT ORCHESTRA 1988 This official-sounding group is actually an informal one, seeking to provide an opportunity for pupils to ex- plore music without the rigours of music lessons as a prerequisite. Of course, we also have accomplished musicians as well!! Group music has gone through many stages since our first orchestra was formed in 1982 and other smaller groups like recorder ensembles and the melodian groups have emerged. Shortly after FOUNDERS DAY, it was felt that we should again have a mixed-instrument orchestra because of interest created by the Std IV BOERE-ORKES that came together to perform at that event. We have been meeting on Tuesdays since then and the group is at pre- sent in a developmental stage. We were invited to play two pieces - and an encore - on the Friday of the OPEN DAY programme and were pleased to have our debut at this important event. It is hoped that the members will come back next year and continue to attempt more ambitious works and have lots of fun with music. David E.F. Read fC0nductorj ..,::- - . . I+. - . :-:-:- A .
