The Field Band Foundation
The Field Bands are not simply an Arts program nor a life skills program, but a dynamic real life incubator where members learn to master an art form they have passion for, and through this, learn to innovate creatively together, develop inner discipline, resolve conflicts, work collaboratively for a common purpose, facilitate and empower others, develop values and an identity that respects the rights of others and enables them to more confidently advance themselves.

PAUL PEREIRA: Social spending works in life skills projects
"One of my favourites is the Field Band Foundation. Giving an original African twist to the worldwide marching band concept, this organisation uses mass brass and drumming bands, with dancers, across 38 townships in SA, to bring home the life skills that children need. About 250 children are taught at each location three afternoons a week. Miss band practices and you get expelled. Stay on and joy, travel and new skills are your lot. "
