Drakensberg Boys Choir coming to Gaborone

One of the best and most recognised boys choirs, Drakensberg Boys Choir will be in Gaborone from June 8-10.

The Choir will perform two concerts during their visit.  The first performance will be their "signature" performance on June 8, at a Black Tie event at the BDF Auditorium with guest performers Shanti Lo and the PPC Youth Choir. The second performance will be a "choir festival" at Maitisong on June 10, together with PPC Youth Choir and local school choirs. The choir will visit a local church on Sunday and select primary schools on Monday morning, and will hold auditions at Maru-a-Pula Secondary School (Maitisong) on June 10 from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. 

The choir is coming to Botswana primarily for recruitment activities.  There are currently three Batswana boys attending the school and with this visit the school hopes to increase this number for future years.They aim to not only increase the regional diversity within the school, but to contribute toward the development of talent in Botswana and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.  This is a unique and exceptional opportunity for any young talented and motivated boy.
