To further enrich the local wind band music scene, our awareness campaign will include recordings which are scheduled for early 2025. These recordings will again be available for FMR to add to their daily playlists.

The campaign will culminate in a gala concert showcasing the versatility of the wind band, featuring performances by some of Cape Town’s most favourite vocalists and choirs.
