SA flags fly high at Glenwood High School
Two South African flags were put up on the Glenwood High School rugby post and revealed at the Father’s Day concert hosted by the school last Sunday.
TWO enormous South African flags were hoisted by the petroleum company, the Samuels Group, on the Glenwood High School rugby post, and they were revealed at the Father’s Day concert hosted by the school last Sunday.
“A country’s national flag is its symbol of patriotism and pride,” said Darin Samuels, managing director at Samuels Group. “The beautiful South African flag is no different. In all its splendour, it symbolises the hopes and dreams of SA’s diverse people. It unites us along non-partisan, non-political, non-racial lines,” he said. The flags were erected on Sunday, June 19 at the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra Father’s Day Pop Opera Concert on the Glenwood High School lawns by Dixon’s Field.

“The flag only cost us R22 000, and we did it in true Durban Style – we got two for the price of one!” he said.
Two acts were on the programme on Sunday – the KZN Youth Wind Band and the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra which is under the baton of resident conductor Lykele Temmingh.
The orchestra performed a programme of light classics, catchy pop, hits from musicals and some jazz fusion.

It is considered one of South Africa’s finest symphonic concert bands. Conducted by Russell Scott, the band has a varied repertoire of classic symphonic band pieces, as well as swing, pop and film music, not to mention a fantastic real South African repertoire!
