The Tour Drumline placed fourth behind heavy-hitters Springs Boys’ High School, Northwood High School and Hoërskool Oosterland from Mpumalanga.
“Our Tour Marimba band won the High School Marimba category, with a Gold Award performance. This Nats was a special experience. Retaining our Marimba title is fantastic, but seeing the Drumline battle against the best in the country under such difficult circumstances was awesome.
“Our sincere thanks to all who contributed to making the tour a reality – those who supported our fundraising efforts and to our parents,” she said.
