Congratulations to our Senior Wind Band who performed excellently at the national finals of the Scottish Concert Band Festival in Perth on Saturday 15th March.

Their performance gained them the fantastic result of a Gold Plus award! We would also like to congratulate the Stewarton Academy pupils who performed in the East Ayrshire Percussion Ensemble and Stewarton Winds who were both awarded Platinum Awards. 

These amazing achievements are testament to the continued hard work, commitment and teamwork demonstrated by our young musicians and instructors.
