Kaapse Toer 2013: Dinsdag 9 Julie

Die Orkes het begin met hul meestersklasse saam met SA Vlootorkes en dit het sommer die lastige verkoues en siektes vinnig op die agtergrond geskuif.

Kyk na die foto's wat geneem is vanaf die Vlootorkes se basis waar die kinders oefen.  Dit is iets wat mens nie vergeet nie en die van ons wat so gelukkig is om dit te kon beleef sal nog baie lank hieroor praat en nadink.

KOMMANDEUR KENNY LEIBBRANDT

DIREKTEUR VAN MUSIEK

Sonder hom was hierdie deel van die toer nie moontlik nie.

Commander Kenny Leibbrandt was taught music at an early age. Kenny was first taught on cornet and by the age of 7 years was playing euphonium in the local Salvation Army Junior Brass Band. He moved around the various sections of the band playing a variety of brass instruments. Kenny joined the Western Province Command Band in 1987 as principal euphonium player and in 1988 transferred to the South African Navy Band.

In 1996 Kenny was appointed Bandmaster of the South African Navy Band and in 1998 successfully completed his officer training at the South African Naval College. On his completion of his officer’s training, he was appointed Assistant Director of Music of the South African Navy Band. He was appointed Director of Music in June 2004 and promoted to the rank of Commander in August 2004.

Ek  dink dit is vir die fotograaf .  D.w.s. vir my.  Lyk my ek irriteer die seniors so effens met al die neem van die  foto's. . . .
