Day 3 Wednesday 26 August

Some members of the choir left at the break of dawn for Radio and Print interviews in Ballarat, in preparation for the continuation of the tour through Regional Victoria. The remainder of the choir headed to Huntingtower Secondary School in conjunction with the Oaktree Foundation’s ‘Schools 4 Schools’ roadtrip. Students were joined by the choir in dancing, singing and jewellery making workshops which were aimed at helping the students to appreciate traditional and urban Zulu culture.

The afternoon saw last minute preparations for the choir’s first public show: Toorak College, Mt. Eliza. The choir had the entire audience on their feet dancing and singing, at one point even inviting people on stage to join the party! This show received great reception from the public, but logistically will prove difficult as we all got home after midnight and had to be up well before the rest of civilisation for some epic radio interviews on 3AW and ABC Radio Australia.

Tickets for the St. Kilda Town Hall show are going quick, so get in early with Ticketmaster and don’t miss out! Don’t forget that we have the e-newsletter on the homepage that will keep you up to date with the choir’s movements.
