MBABANE – Choral music lovers should brace themselves for one of the best SwaziBank Schools Choral Music Competitions this year.

The competition which is one of the country’s biggest in the choral industry will kick-start on February 23 and the finals will be held on July 2.
The competition will start off with a workshop for all the music teachers and conductors as well as composers.
Last year, the bank sponsored the competition to the tune of E370 000.

Khonelikhosi Dlamini, Chairperson of the Swaziland National School Choral Music Association (SNSCMA), said preparations for the competition have already began and added that they were presently finalising the songs to be sung during the competition. “Some of the songs are ready. We are still finalising those that will be sung by the schools during the competition in the Champ of Champs section,” he said.

He highlighted that the competition was growing due to the support of the bank and thanked the bank for believing in them in all these years.
 “Each year, we have seen a growth in the competition which we are thrilled about. The pupils have given their all during the competition and as organisers we believe this is a sign of how much choral music has become a part of the youth,” he said.

Dlamini said pupils are expected to start preparations for the competition as soon as schools re-open.
“The music teachers will receive the songs soon and we hope that once schools open, the preparations for the competition will begin.
The whole idea is to make sure that this competition becomes nothing but the best,” he added.
