The 2015 North Lanarkshire Schools Spring Concert took place on Monday evening in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. The annual event showcases the best musical talent North Lanarkshire has to offer and Braidhurst was extremely well represented ranging from S1 to S6 performing in six different musical groups.
Zoe Oliphant, Tegan Martin, Scott Allan, Rachel Ross, Scott Bell and Joseph Farmer were part of the Wind Band, Samantha Keenan, Melissa Rodger and Natalie Ferguson played in the Prep Band while Sam Bell, Sarah Cooper and Kiera Grant all sang in the Chorus. Finally Hannah Allan played in both the Wind Ensemble and also the Jazz Orchestra.
The standard required to be members of these bands is extremely high, with many requiring an audition to join. Miss Donnelly, Principal Teacher of Performing Arts said, “I’m extremely proud of all of pupils who represented our school and delighted to highlight some of the many talents the pupils of Braidhurst have to offer”.
The event itself included over 500 pupils from both primary and secondary schools throughout the authority including the largest Preparatory band in Scotland with over 100 members. The atmosphere at the concert was electric with the crowd enjoying a wide variety of music from jazz and rock to traditional folk and classical.
