Turnbull High School’s Music department play a key role in the life and Catholic ethos of the school. Pupils who receive instrumental tuition enjoy the opportunity to play in the School Band and the Senior Jazz Band but in addition to the excitement of our annual band tour and other gigs throughout the year, our pupils are committed to using their talents to reach out in compassion to all, especially those in need. Our annual Christmas concert raises money for charity, most recently Mary’s Meals, and engagements at Dobbies and Tesco St Rollox have raised funds for the Glasgow Childrens’ Hospital and the Teenage Cancer Trust over the last few years.
Our School Vocal Group are also committed to using their talents to encourage hope in others through their visits to Marie Curie and their involvement with our outreach to senior citizens.
Turnbull music department doesn’t only do these things to be altruistic, these endeavours are an embodiment of our Gospel Values. In addition to corporal acts of charity, the ensembles make a sustained effort to support the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy in the school; from the S1 welcome Mass to our exam and lavers’ Mass. All of the groups united in a special way for our consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and our subsequent Patronal Feast Days are a highlight of the school year. Saint Cecelia, Pray for us!
