Clifton Reds Marimba Performance - SPCA 1000 Paws Fundraiser: 7 June

Clifton Reds Marimba Band Shines!

On Sunday, 7 June, our talented Clifton Reds Marimba Band braved the first frost of the year at 6.45am to load up their instruments and head to Highgate Wine Estate for the annual SPCA 1000 Paws fundraising event. Despite only forming and learning their repertoire in January 2026, this brand-new ensemble delivered two flawless morning performances without a single hitch. Led by band leader Masedi, who brilliantly introduced the musicians, the children did us proud by showcasing a beautifully varied selection of pop, classic, and traditional pieces as the gorgeous Midlands weather warmed up.

The crowd was absolutely delighted, showering the band with glowing feedback, while the event's MC shared some exceptionally lovely words over the microphone about Clifton Prep. After their musical duties wrapped up, several band members even stayed to enjoy the festivities and walk the courses with their own family pets. The organisers were so impressed that they have already booked the band to play again next year! Congratulations to the Clifton Reds for their incredible early- morning dedication and stellar performances—way to go, team!
