This weekend (3&4 August 2013) the Hilton College Marimba Band participated in a International Marimba Band Competition in Johannesburg. Marimba Bands from around South Africa as well as Nigeria, Botswana, Lesotho and Zimbabwe participated.
Hilton College won two categories, the "Strictly Classical Small Ensemble" and the "Battle of the Bands Open Category". They were also placed 2nd in the "Battle of the Bands" high school category and were ranked in the top 3 internationally along with Watershed from Zimbabwe and the Hillbrow Community Centre. The boys performed with great skill, passion, pride and determination during the weekend!
Well done to the Marimba band, you can catch them performing in 'THIS IS AFRICA' on Women's Day, 9th August 2013, at the Hilton College Theatre. Call 033 383 0126 to book.
