Pioneer Welcomes Four Exchange Students

Pioneer is proud to welcome the following four students to our 2013 corps!

Nomfundo Hadebe,
PFG Londolusha (Springs, Gauteng)

My Name is Nomfundo Hadebe; I am a dance tutor in training for the Springs Field Band. I joined the field band in 2004. Once I joined the field band my behavior changed, I became a creative individual, I developed my inner- discipline, working as a team for a common purpose of empowering each other, I got to develop as a young girl, I became more confident and started believing in myself. I could now see the leader in me.

On my return I will pass on my knowledge to my fellow band members and the staff, I will make the Field Band benefit from the skills and experiences I have gained while in the USA. I will make the Field Band proud!!!

Ntokozo Peter Jodwana
PFG Londolusha (Springs, Gauteng)

My name is Ntokozo Peter Jodwana; I come from Kwa-thema in Springs. I am 18 years old and live with my grandmother, brother and sister. I finished with my grade 12 last year. Due to some financial problems I couldn’t continue with my studies.

I joined the Field Band in 2005 and played trumpet. I then changed to baritone in 2009. I am currently helping out with playing the tuba in the band. I promise to work very hard and do the best I can at all times. I will take all the experiences and the skills and bring them back to the Field Band to uplift our programme. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and I will make it work. I promise to make the Foundation proud.

My name is Tsepo Emmanuel Phakathi. I joined the Emalahleni field band in 2005 and I have played the baritone in the band since then. I have practiced very hard and I hope that by working hard I can be the best I can be. I live with my mother, sister and brother and I enjoying playing and listening to music and playing soccer. I can speak Zulu, Pedi and English. I finished my schooling in 2012 when I got my matric. I really look forward to coming to the USA and learning a lot.

I finished my matric in 2012. I enjoy being a part of the field band very much. From 2005- 2007 I was a dancer in the field band but then I changed sections and I have been playing the baritone since 2007. I have also written my Trinity music Exams and I have passed Grade 5 music Theory and Grade 3 practical exams. I speak Zulu and English. I am so excited to be going to the USA and can’t wait to show everyone how hard I can work and bring my new skills back to the field band.
