A huge well done and thank you to our 6 members who came along and performed so well. With the volume of our singers, you would have thought we had 20 children ion the stage! The pupils performed brilliantly in front of a packed hall and entertained the audience with some Scots songs and some poetry recitals before their meal. Well done everyone!<\/p>\n
