FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1983
THE BAND FESTIVAL IS AN ANNUAL EVENT UNDER THE YOUTH EXCHANGE PROGRAMME TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL YOUNG MUSICIANS TO EXCHANGE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE WITH THEIR OVERSEAS COUNTERPARTS. IT IS HOPED THAT INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING CAN BE ENHANCED THROUGH SUCH EXCHANGE PROGRAMME.
LOCAL MUSICIANS SELECTED TO ATTEND THE RESIDENTIAL COURSE OF TRAINING WILL, THEREFORE, HAVE AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE IR MÚSICAL KNOWLEDGE WITH MEMBERS OF THE VISITING JAPANESE BAND.
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS MAY NOW APPLY TO TAKE PART IN THE SYMPHONIC BAND PERFORMANCE AND THE MARCHING BAND DISPLAY. IN ADDITION, INDIVIDUALS AGED 23 OR BELOW MAY ALSO APPLY TO BECOME MEMBERS OF THE FESTIVAL BANDS WHICH WILL BE RESIDENT AT THE LADY MACLEHOSE HOLIDAY VILLAGE.
