The drummers were expertly accompanied by our fantastic pipers Alasdair Ferguson (S4), Henry Kesterton (S5), Rory Cairns (S3) and Thomas Edgar (S3), who all gave up their free time to rehearse with the drummers over the last few months, including during the October break – a truly fantastic effort. Thank you.
Congratulations to everyone involved on all the great progress and fantastic achievements!
