School Choir perform in Glasgow

Leave a comment

On Saturday 20th January, our school choir were invited to attend and perform at the Glasgow and District Wreath Laying Ceremony in George Square, Glasgow. Mrs McNulty with P6 and P7 choir members performed Burns and Scots pieces at Glasgow City Chambers, at the wreath laying ceremony at the Burns monument in George Square and then again at The Merchants House in George Square. In the absence of a piper, the children were even asked to sing as the procession walked through George Square which the children were delighted to do!
It was a wonderful day, and we were all delighted and honoured to have been invited to be part of it! A huge thank you to Mrs Johnstone and Mr Burns for their help and support on the day!
