The school band will be taking part in the NLC Christmas Concert next Thursday (8th December). This concert will include music groups from other Primary and Secondary Schools in the authority as well as the NLC Pipe Band and NLC Jazz Ensemble. This is taking place at Motherwell Concert Hall and it should be a fantastic experience for our pupils (particularly since 2/3 of the school band have never taken part in a concert like this ever before.)
