Iyon Brew, Sacred Heart College’s senior marimba band, drummed beats that saw them claim second place at a recent international festival.
Iyon Brew was placed second out of 30 bands in the first section and second out of 12 bands in the second section of the International Marimba and Steelpan Festival’s High School Small Ensemble on August 2.
The festival was launched by Education Africa to create an awareness of the educational value of marimba playing.
“It was Iyon Brew’s first entry into the festival, which is the biggest marimba and steelpan competition worldwide. We are proud of their achievement. We are grateful for the support we received, especially from the marimba tutor, Mr Gontse Segona,” said Miss Dominique Munonoka, Sacred Heart College’s marimba band’s manager.
