KUCHING: Youths aged between 15 and 40 years are urged to participate in the One Sarawak Youth Band Challenge 2014, the first such event to allow local bands to showcase their musical talent.

The event is jointly organised by Ministry of Social Development and Pending Recreational Club.

Assistant Minister of Youth Development Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said this initiative celebrated the youth’s creativity, dynamism, versatility and talent. It’s a platform to unleash their musical potential to the fullest.

Auditions would be held in four areas – Sarikei (Aug 31 and Sept 1), Miri (Sept 8 and 9), Kuching (Sept 16 and 16) and Sri Aman (Sept 19).

The venue is the respective town’s civic centre.

The closing date for registration is a week before the audition.

Those who could not make the audition at the specific area can join the audition at other areas, on condition that the band members remain.
