We were extremely proud of all Primary 5D pupils who performed in the Dumfries and District Music Festival on Friday. The class have loved receiving instruction with playing the ukulele from Mr Butterworth every fortnight. Mrs Dyson would like to thank Mr and Mrs Butterworth for all their input and support. The class enthusiastically performed “What shall we do with a ukulele?” and won the Ian Hart Shield and a Certificate of Commended Performance. The adjudicator commented: “You sang strongly and clearly throughout. Balance between the ukuleles and singing was always good. Strumming was largely rhythmic and chord changes were confident. Overall, an excellent approach resulting in an enjoyable performance.” We look forward to adding our engraving and displaying the shield. A big thank you to Mr and Mrs Butterworth who also presented every pupil with a special medal when coming off stage – a wonderful momento of our performance!
