the temptations that can lead them into a life of degradation and
unhappiness.

children develop in the correct fashion and help to strengthen Thai society
as they grow into adults.

During the celebrations, the school marching band displayed their prowess
and precision to the more than one thousand children and parents, bringing
on loud cheers and applause.
The school marching band, which has competed in many competitions, both on
the local and national levels, has proven themselves as a youth band to be
reckoned with.
They have won several prizes including a silver medal at the HRH Princess
Sirindhorn Trophy - 26th Secondary School Student’s Band Championships held
on the 7th of January 2007 and a bronze medal at the 11th Yamaha Thailand
Marching Band Championship last year.
During the course of the year the band members have a need for a
considerable financial support so that they could further their training and
cover other expenses such as their trips to the competitions in Bangkok,
maintenance of their musical instruments and the upkeep of their colourful
and smart outfits.
To this end the committee of the Pattaya Mail PC Classic, Royal Cliff Beach
Resort International Regatta and the Rotary Club of Jomtien-Pattaya
generously donated the sum of 30,000 baht.
