Campie Musical Evening
Last night saw the 4th Musical Evening put on by Campie Primary School - hosted for the 2nd time in Musselburgh Grammar School. On show were Choir, Guitars, Highland Dance, Brass, Recorders & Jazz Dance. Many pupils were members of more than one group and at least one individual took part in five of the six activities.
The audience were very appreciative and I imagine that many pupils, for whom this was a first concert experience, would have felt pleased by the rewards of their hard work. There was also a nice feeling of integration as some P5 pupils had their first experience of solo performing on the same stage as their final concert - in 2016! The feeling of integration was furthered by the contribution of some former Campie pupils (now in MGS) on guitar and brass. Their seasoned playing will no doubt have inspired the younger pupils and have given them some idea of what lies ahead.
A big thank you to everyone involved - Steven Wood (the compere beyond compare), Gladys Bain & Kirsten Ireland (Choir), June Jeffries (Dance), Simon Reeves (Brass), Margaret Hall (Recorders); to the janitorial staff who deconstructed a hall set out for exams - to which state it was returned early this morning; to former MGS celebrity Stephen Doig for manning the sound desk, operating CDs for the dance items and for his warmly received contribution to the Guitars.
Thanks for the write up Alan and thanks for help with setting up and organising various aspects at MGS. Your guitar set was excellent.
