The drummers were expertly accompanied by our fantastic pipers Henry (S6), Ranulph (S4), Rory (S4), Thomas (S4) and Ursula (S3), who gave up their free time to rehearse with the drummers over the last few months, including throughout the October break – a truly fantastic effort. Thank you.
Congratulations to everyone involved on all the great progress and fantastic achievements!
