We are delighted to share news of Stewarton Academy’s success at the Scottish Concert Band Festival on Saturday. All five bands played exceptionally well and were fully deserving of the following Awards:

Stewarton Academy P7 wind band – Gold Award

Stewarton Academy Junior Band – Gold Award

Stewarton Academy Intermediate Band – Gold Award

Stewarton Academy Senior Band – Gold Plus Award

Stewarton Academy Percussion Ensemble – Gold Plus Award

As a result all bands/ensembles now qualify to represent Stewarton Academy and East Ayrshire at the SCBF National Finals in Perth Concert Hall on 14 & 15 March 2020. We are delighted for every pupil involved in this success and pass on our congratulations.

As ever, the pupils were tremendous ambassadors for the school and EAC and it’s wonderful to see their efforts and industry being recognised and rewarded in such a high profile setting. Thank you to all the band directors, IMS Instructors and music staff who help the pupils prepare and work so hard to give our young musicians this opportunity.
