Fundraising rock concert for the family in Cape Town

United Herzlia Schools are staging a fundraising rock concert for the entire family on behalf of Highlands Primary, Constantia Primary and Weizmann Primary. Concert in the Field will enable schoolchildren to see big-name acts, such as aKing and Van Coke Cartel, which usually play in clubs and bars.

Concert in the Field takes place at 93 Old Kendal Road, Constantia, Cape Town on Sunday, 18 March, 2012, from 3pm to 7pm. Gates open at 1.30pm.

Two multi-award-winning rock bands, aKing and Van Coke Kartel, will feature, together with the balkanolgy nostalgia of DJ Maorginal, supported by some skanking ska of the Lancaster Band and Indie group Machineri - and an appearance by Larry Joe.

A fun family day

These musicians usually perform in clubs and bars, which are out of bounds for school pupils. The target market for this event is not only aimed at Herzlia and other school pupils, but is also aimed at their families and promoted as a fun family day. There is also an opportunity to win a helicopter ride over Cape Town's magnificent landscape.

A wide variety of food will be on sale throughout the day as well as soft drinks, tea, coffee, doughnuts, burgers, salads, and a tuck shop. You may bring you own picnic baskets, low folding chairs and blankets.

There is secure off-street and adjacent field parking, a "kids" corner staffed by professional child carers, professional security and medics on site, as well as toilets and facilities for the disabled.
