Well done to Aimee S. in S6 who was invited to perform at the annual East Ayrshire Council Employee Excellence Awards last Friday 17th May.

She performed four songs to the guests in the beautiful surroundings of Dean Castle on what was a gloriously sunny day. Well done Aimee!

Congratulations go to two of our Advanced Higher music pupil’s Aimee Sharp and Rhys Hamilton who participated in the East Ayrshire Young Musician 2024 final last night.

Rhys performed his own composition ‘Grave’ on piano, whilst Aimee sang ‘Still Hurting’ from the musical film The Last Five Years. Both performed extremely confidently and were a credit to the school.

Aimee won the final and will now progress to the national final of the Scottish Young Musician of the Year competition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in a few weeks time. Congratulations Aimee and good luck!

This year’s Spring Concert will take place on Tue 26 Mar in the school Games Hall.  The concert will start at 7pm and be finished by 8pm.  Tickets are not required, but it would be useful to have an idea of expected numbers, so please fill out this Form to let us know if you intend to come along.

Letter for parents

S4 music pupils attended a concert of film composer John Williams’ music last Saturday, 2nd March. The concert took place at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and was performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

For many pupils, this was their first time hearing a live symphony orchestra and they were treated to several familiar movie soundtracks from films such as Star Wars, Jaws, Superman, E.T and Indiana Jones. They also got to hear music from some lesser known films and the world premiere of a new piece called ‘Love on the Wing’ by Alice Mills.
