Galloway Music Festival

Leave a comment

Kells children excelled themselves this year at the Galloway Music festival. Well done to the P5-7 class who won the Junior Choir trophy. They sang with passion and enthusiasm. Also competing this year from Kells were 2 recorder groups, 4 solo recorders and a duet recorder group. The adjudicator was very impressed with the recorder playing, noticing that 2 thirds of our school were  competing. All the children represented Kells wonderfully, with comments from the organisers about the brilliant behaviour from our children.
