Winter Band Festival 2011

This year, our band may well be on its way to the Winter Band Festival, to be held at one of the world's most famous park, Hong Kong Disneyland. This 5 day event starts from the 29th of November and ends on the 3rd of December.

In this once-in-a-lifetime experience, members will take their musical knowledge and skills to a new level as there are many workshops and activities conducted by professionals. There are also performances to be performed and competitions to join. As there will be many other musicians attending this event, members may also interact with people from different types of musical background. Naturally, members will be able to experience Hong Kong as a tourist too as there will be sight-seeing on the final day.

Current itenary of the trip (according to the Winter Band Festival site):
29 November (Tuesday)
Arrivals and Directors' Reception

30 November (Wednesday)
Adjucation and Concert Presentation

1 December (Thursday)
Disney Performing Arts Programme, Clinic & Exchange

2 December (Friday)
Clinics, Exchanges & Gala Dinner

3 December (Saturday)
Sight-seeing & Departure

Unfortunately, this trip is rather pricey at RM3500 per person. This cost covers many aspects of the trip such as meals and lodging, admission to Disneyland, workshops and many other activities. As one may imagine, not all our members are able to afford this trip. Therefore, we are looking for sources to sponsor us in order to further enchance everyone's musical standards on this trip. If you are willing, any assitance in this matter will be greatly appreciated, whether through donations or simply by giving suggestions. That aside, it would also be wonderful if we could receive help in the form of tutors.

Hopefully, no-one will miss this rare and wonderful opportunity. After all, how often do you get a chance to perform at Disneyland with your friends?

Thank you and have a nice day! : )
