Kolskoot Radio had the privilege to attend the SA Naval College Heritage Gala Evening, held at the Strand Town Hall on Saturday, 14 October.
The International acclaimed South African Navy Band, under the directorship of the Director Naval Music, Cdr Lindela Madikizela has been a regular visitor on the international military music scene since 2002. The band has performed in Germany, The Netherlands, Russia, England, Egypt, France, USA, Scotland and Burundi, to name a few. It has also travelled the length and breadth of South Africa, having performed at all the major venues, and in some of the most remote rural areas.
The band comprises of 41 versatile musicians. The Band's primary function is to provide music for ceremonial occasions. The SA Navy Band is the most versatile band in the SANDF and can provide music for almost any occasion.
The repertoire of the Band is diverse, and representative of the many different cultures that make South Africa such a wonderfully unique country.
The South African Navy Band plays a vital role in promoting the South African Navy...The People's Navy.
Kolskoot Radio is looking forward to attending the maintenance of the General Botha anchor on the mountainside, overlooking the College. One of the highlights from the SA Navy Band in Gordons's Bay is the Christmas Carols By Candlelight later this year.
