Chairman’s message Halala! Celebrating our great Norwegian friends The Field Band Foundation this year celebrates a decade of collegial association with the Norwegian Band Federation and FK Norway (Fredskorpset). These two institutions, which are in turn are supported by the Norwegian Foreign Office and NORAD, are now deeply embedded in the DNA of the Foundation. While we appreciate their generosity of spirit and acknowledge their substantial financial commitment, it is mutual respect and affection that continues to fuel the relationship. To our Norwegian friends who are here in their numbers, we say a heartfelt “Tusen takk!” – Herman Mashaba CEO welcome People make the difference Welcome to this most important of the many events on our calender! Every artist needs an audience for their performance, and we thank you for being part of that audience today. The Field Band Foundation’s (FBF) strength lies in its dedicated and hard working Board. Our Life President, Bertie Lubner, who is celebrating his 80th year, still has more energy than most people half his age. Our Chairman, Herman Mashaba, leads with passion from the front and our Deputy Chairman, Brain Gibson, keeps us all in line with his clear and succinct mind. Willie Erasmus and Busi Dlamini make sure we are financially 100% accountable; Joe Matsau and George Lindeque guide us with their vast human resources skills and all the other Board members each play a significant role. We honour and thank them all. One of the great advantages of non-profit work is that colleagues are vocationally-driven. They are unusually dedicated, motivated and energised. The Field Band is particularly fortunate in having young employees and volunteers who have come through our system and know the benefits of belonging to the FBF. They carry out their duties with deep insight and committed enthusiasm. Our dream is that other people, companies and organisations, both in South Africa and abroad, will appreciate what a well managed and supported organisation can achieve and will join us in assisting more youngsters by establishing a Field Band in every town in South Africa. May many, many more youngsters join us on a journey of “music for life”. – Retha Cilliers Academy bands The two Field Band Academy bands performing are made up of the two groups of current Academy students. Theirs is a two year course with one group having started last year and the other in 2011. We hope that you enjoy their performances - the results of our Academy!
