Music Festival Success

Scott and Gemma attending the Glasgow Music Festival on Friday 16th March.  They played the Young Virtuoso on their trumpets.  It was a nerve-racking experience playing in front of an audience full of people in St Stephen’s church.  However the nerves didn’t effect their playing as Scott came in first place and Gemma came third.  Well done to them both.  We are super proud of them and their achievements!!
