Glasgow Music Festival Success!

3 Comments

Congratulations to our choirs and musicians who performed at the Glasgow Music Festival this week. The P1 and P2 “Busbits” performed ‘Blitzy Boy’s Tail’ and the P4, P5, P6 and P7 choir and musicians performed a fantasic rendition of ‘Under the Sea’.  This performance was so good that they came first in their catagory. Well done to everyone involved. A big thank you to Mrs Cairnie and Miss Milne who gave up their time to rehearse with the children.
