S4 pupil Darci Burns recently accompanied the North Lanarkshire Schools Pipe Band to the ‘Big Apple’, New York City, to take part in the annual ‘Tartan Day’ parade on Saturday 6^th April. This is a fantastic achievement by all the pupils and staff involved, who not only marched down Sixth Avenue as part of the parade procession, but also brought Grand Central Station to a standstill with their rousing version of, amongst other songs, ‘Scotland the Brave’, and appeared on national American television, ‘Fox and Friends’. Well done to Darci on a phenomenal achievement and experience.
