Interested secondary school students who must have a flair for music can fill out an online registration form as solo performers, groups or bands for the competition aimed at promoting live music and band culture to preserve Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage.
Speaking on Television Continental’s Breakfast Show on Friday, the convener and entertainment journalist, Mr. Biodun Kupoluyi, said the music talent hunt program was designed to discover, develop, promote live music and band culture among solo performers, groups and bands in secondary schools in Lagos.
According to the convener, the competition which is targeted at budding music talents in secondary school students in Lagos State, will also inspire parents and teachers to encourage their children’s natural talents outside core academics.
Kupoluyi said that the LHSMC initiative was a response to the need for building a new generation for the creative economy; in line with the Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment, Sports Excellence (T-H-E-S-E) agenda and will help youngsters in secondary schools develop a vocation or skill outside academics.
Besides music education, he said the programme would project the diverse and distinctive culture of Nigeria while celebrating the nation’s rich and proud history.
He said that the band culture would promote youth talents, celebrate the creative energy of student musicians, acquire skills in instrumentation and to understand, acquire their place in entertainment and encourage lifelong connections.
The winners would record an album, attend boot camps, go on tours and perform at several state and corporate functions.
The grand finale scheduled for June 21, 2018 coincides with the globally celebrated World Music Day, after a series of elimination across six educational districts of Lagos.
LHSMC supported by the Lagos State’s Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture is also listed in the State’s Tourism Calendar for 2018.
