The Bishops Band Programme began in about 2004 when the annual Inter-house Singing competition triggered a need for boys to form bands in order to enhance the overall performances.

Equipped with a state of the art Recording Studio boys can rehearse to their hearts content and also could record their bands.

Through this programme, the Bands are exposed to a variety of genres including rock, reggae, indie and other popular styles. Bands were also offered opportunities to play in a variety of internal events, including the annual Bands Evening, the Inter-house Singing competition and the Experience Bishops concerts. Bands have also been invited and have involved themselves in external events and competitions, being invited by schools including St Cyprian’s and Springfield, as well as performing at the annual Band Slam in the V&A Waterfront amphitheatre.

The manager of the band programme is Richard Brokenska, Producer, performer and front man for Award winning South African band, ISO.
