Exposure for Field Band Foundation at World Cup
Since the founding of the Field Band Foundation thirteen years ago, it has grown tremendously into a mature and goal achieving non-profit organisation, whose dream is to dramatically impact the lives of our economically challenged and often misguided youth through cheerful music and dance. With the forthcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup performances, the FBF gains an opportunity to soar even higher and achieve global exposure.
The FBF has been a part in the 2010 FIFA World Cup celebrations. "Being given the opportunity to be part of an event that means so much to their country, is more than these young people could ever wish for and acts as a personal reflection to each student of their remarkable progression considering the many difficulties they have faced", says Chief Executive Officer Retha Cilliers of the Field Band Foundation.
The FBF has performed in the 100 and 50 day countdown celebrations. FBF will also provide training for around 370 of their members to participate in the prestigious opening event. Another 60 field band members will also be given the duty of leading performers from the rehearsal area to the stadium at the start of the proceedings on 11th June.
To conclude, they will also perform at the world cup closing ceremony, the format of which is shrouded in secrecy. "This association with the 2010 FIFA World Cup will undoubtedly boost the confidence of the young men and women, becoming an experience and memory never to be forgotten", says Cilliers.
