Well done to our Concert Band for winning GOLD at the Yamaha Festival on Friday 13th June, 2008
 

What a week for Concert Band…a Highly Commended at the McDonald’s Challenge and Gold at the Yamaha Festival! This is an excellent and well-deserved win for Maestro Ray and our musicians, who have been practicing hard for weeks. Not only did we play beautifully but we also looked the part, with matching uniforms and very shiny shoes. Bravo! The whole school is very proud of you. Special thanks to Marg Burke, Stephanie Morrison and Emma Bell for their help (which was invaluable) and to our lovely Band Liaison, Mrs Steggles and Mr Kunkler for accompanying the kids to their performances.
          TRAINING BAND
             ALL-STARS!

The training band did us proud at the Galston Eisteddfod in 2008. In their first big competition they scored 84 out of a possible 100 points, which was only a few points off the eventual winners. Well done to conductor Jane and the gang, who waited very patiently for nearly 2 hours (!) before going on stage.
