Wind Bands Night
Stewarton Bands Night was a wonderful success! We had nearly 40 pupils attend throughout the afternoon/evening, and it was a positive and inspiring learning environment. Everyone worked hard, supported one another, and produced some fantastic music together.
It was also lovely to see the pupils relax and enjoy each other’s company outside the usual structure of our weekly rehearsals, which are often quite focused and busy. Having the time to connect, chat, and share their enthusiasm for music made the evening feel very special.
Thanks to Ms MacFarlane for organising the event, to all the tutors who came to work with the pupils, and to the Band Support Group for the pizza – it was a huge hit and very much appreciated!
