Uplands College Gets a New Grand Piano!

To celebrate Uplands College’s 10th birthday, parents and the Uplands College PTA bought the school a very special, new Austrian designed grand piano, a perfect gift for a special birthday. With the growing pupil numbers and the growing number of pupils taking music as a subject through to matric, it has become a real need for the College to have a piano such as this.

The piano was officially handed over by the Uplands College PTA as a present to the school on 9 November 2007, where well-known pianist, Rocco de Villiers gave a piano recital on the new piano. He played classical music as well as numbers from his Liberocco show (a show based on music of the legendary Liberace) to show off the quality and sound of the new grand piano.
