Marvelous musical Marimbas in the Park at Westville Senior Primary
This is the fifth year that the school has pulled off a very successful event incorporating musicians from other areas as well as the school's marimba bands.
THE sunshine topped off a beautiful winter’s day in Westville as learner music groups, orchestras and even visiting brass bands all performed to a field full of family and friends of Westville Senior Primary School (WSPS), its staff and learners, at this year’s fifth annual Marimbas in the Park, on Sunday, 2 June.
Barry Oosthuyzen, the head of music at WSPS, said the event is very popular.
“Westville Senior Primary School is very proud of its marimba bands. The learners and teachers who play in these bands show great commitment often giving up their own to time to practice and make sure that they are ready for the next call.”
“Marimbas in the Park once again showed this commitment and the high levels of performances by the learners,” said Oosthuyzen.
