On Friday 9th December, Leswalt Community Council held their annual concert. They’d extended an invitation to us to coma along and enjoy the Christmas fun!
As is often the case at this busy time of year, some pupils who’d have loved to have come along had other family plans – and Hamish, Ela and Daisy were already performing in the Stranraer Drama Club panto! Such a wealth of talent in our wee school!
But…Hannah, Rachael, Mark, Colin, Isla, Rose, Holly, Evan, Alexander, Ewan, Tristan, Brandon, Cara, Ben, Faye and Thomas did give up their time to come along and sing two songs from our upcoming show! They sang beautifully of course. I am sure there’ll be several members of the audience who’ll be keen to come along to the show on the 21st to hear even more!
Ben (who has only been learning to play the drums for about 6 months!) also performed along with the adult ensemble! What a drummer – rock star of the future perhaps?!
Alexander and Tristan even accepted the invitation to take to the floor for a little dance!
It was a lovely evening of Christmas carols and old-favourites, enjoying performances from all ages of the community. Mulled wine, juice and shortbread were offered around the audience during the interval too. Such a feel-good evening.
Huge thanks to the pupils and their families for coming along to support our village’s concert. Thanks also to Alison Thomson for her photos to add to mine. And I’ve also got a great video of the pupils singing and Ben drumming which I will work on uploading to the blog too!
Well done all!
