Magnificent Music Showcase

On Wednesday 13th May, Sciennes Parent Council arranged an opportunity to showcase the wealth of musical talents of our many music groups: School Orchestra,  School P6/7 Choir, School Violin/Viola and School Woodwind as well as After School Clubs (co-ordinated by parent members of the Parent Council Fiona Denvir and Bethan McEwan) in A Capella, Fiddle, Guitar, Spanish Guitar and Recorder. It was an extraordinary evening at Marchmont St Giles - attended by a huge turnout of families - which was a wonderful celebration for our pupils, in recognition of their accomplishments. Thank you to Mrs Samanda Campbell, Class Teacher and School Orchestra Leader for her superb organisation.
