Young Drummer of the Year 2016

Congratulations to S2 pupil Connor Black who has been awarded a place with the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland.

The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland is a non-competing cutting edge performance pipe band for 10-25 year olds, established, developed and administered by The National Piping Centre, the World Centre of Excellence for the study and promotion of the Great Highland Bagpipe.  Launched in 2002, the National Youth Pipe Band is the first and only organisation of its kind bringing together Scotland’s most talented young pipers and drummers at a national level. Membership is drawn from the whole of Scotland; its pipers and drummers come from an array of different competing pipe bands and musical backgrounds.

Congratulations to S2 pupil Ben Drake who has got into the NYO Inspire Wind Ensemble this year.  This project is open to students aged 13-19, at Grade 6 standard or above. The philosophy behind NYO Inspire is simple: to give breakthrough experiences of orchestral music to teenagers of all backgrounds, both as musicians and as audience members.

Ben also has been invited to play with the Grampian Youth Orchestra on their 2016 Summer Tour.  They will be performing in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

An exciting year ahead for Ben.
