Annual concerts

As last year, we performed the same programme at two venues to help with the shortage of tickets. The first concert was held at McLaren High School on 12 November and was repeated the following week at the Albert Hall, Stirling on 20 November giving the pupils the chance to show off their talents to more parents, family and friends. 

At the Albert Hall concert, in addition to the Youth Orchestra, Vocal Ensemble, Guitar Ensemble, Wind Band, String Orchestra and Pipe Bands, we were joined by two groups from the Tolbooth – the Traditional Group and the Jazz Group. 

Both concerts went very well with the pupils in all groups performing to a very high standard to the delight of the audience. 

As in previous years we were pleased to welcome back some former pupils to join in with the Vocal Ensemble and theYouth Orchestra. It is always good to catch up with them, and gives the younger pupils the chance to see that they can continue playing music long after they have left school.
