Preparations for our forthcoming music tour to Lake Garda, Italy, continue with lots of rehearsals and fund raising activities.  So far members of the concert band, choir, jazz band, ceilidh band, piper and dancer have been involved in bag packing, Christmas concert, a Scottish evening and a quiz night.  The next fund raising event is a Musical Coffee Morning to be held at the Kintore Public Hall on the 22 March.  The group need funds to help buy such items as equipment and concert uniform but our biggest expenditure will be for the transportation of instruments to Italy.

A Farewell Concert will be held at the academy on the evening of 5 June.
