Auchinleck & Cumnock Academy recently celebrated success at the Scottish Concert Band Festival at the Royal Concert Hall.  All three bands played exceptionally well and were fully deserving of the following Awards:

ACCB Junior Band – Gold Award

ACCB Intermediate Band – Gold Award

ACCB Senior Band – Gold Award

ACCB Senior Band – SCBF Entertainment Award

As a result all bands now qualify to represent Auchinleck & Cumnock Academies and East Ayrshire at the SCBF National Finals in Perth Concert Hall on 14 & 15 March 2020.

As ever, the pupils were tremendous ambassadors for both schools and it’s wonderful to see their efforts and industry being recognised and rewarded in such a high profile setting; and of course, I’m delighted for Band Directors Craig Anderson, Gary Williams and all Auchinleck/Cumnock IMS Instructors/music staff who have worked so hard to give our young musicians this incredible opportunity.
