This Term, P.6-7 have spent much of their time in the music class preparing for the Shetland Youth Music Festival which took place last week. This was the first time that the festival has been since 2018 so it was great that our pupils had this opportunity to take part and to share their music on the ‘big stage’ in Mareel.

The class played a Peat and Diesel Medley incorporating ‘Island’ and the Raan from ‘Loch Maree Islands’.

The adjudicator Lynn Proctor was very impressed with the performance and awarded the class a SILVER AWARD!🩶🥈

She commented on the Ukulele players beautiful opening;

The adjudicator also commended the class for their ‘Good Ensemble Playing’.

Everyone listened to each other, played confidently and all the parts could be clearly heard:

Congratulations and Well Done! from Mrs Pottinger 🎵
