Westerford High School Big Band - "Georgia on my Mind"

Today's "Feature Friday" is the Westerford High School Big Band of 2019, conducted by Marike Grobbelaar. Enjoy their performance of “Georgia on my Mind”, composed by Hoagy Carmichael, arranged by Mike Tomaro.

The CTBBJF is renowned as one of South Africa's premier showcases of musical youthful talent. In 2020 we had to cancel our festival due to Covid-19. Since then we have moved online (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook) and have many festival highlights in store for you, which will be shared across these three platforms.

A huge thank you to all of our loyal sponsors, especially to The SAMRO Foundation for making our online project possible.

Thank you to our videographer, Tony Mittelmeyer from “Mittelmeyer DVD Productions”, for capturing our past festivals.Thank you to Carla Stokes, our social media manager, for editing and posting weekly festival highlights. Thank you to our fearless leader, Ann Barr, for running the CTBBJF annually, and for providing schools/colleges with this amazing platform for young musicians.
