School Orchestra: Pupils in S2 and upwards receiving lessons on string/brass/woodwind instruments meet weekly to rehearse for various performances which take place throughout the year including the Christmas Service, Creative and Aesthetic Evening and annual Awards Ceremony.
Junior Orchestra: Pupils in S1 who are new to their instrument meet from October-April to build ensemble skills before progressing to the School Orchestra at the end of S1.
String Ensemble: Pupils learning the violin, viola, cello and double bass rehearse pieces which are performed at community events such as the Christmas Fayre and Burns Day. The String Ensemble have also developed strong community links with Sainsburys in Drumchapel and have taken part in a variety of fundraising opportunities in conjunction with Sansburys.
Woodwind Ensemble: Pupils receiving flute, oboe and clarinet lessons make up the Woodwind Ensemble and have past performances include the Creative and Aesthetic Evening and Christmas Service as well as appearances at the Glasgow Music Festival for several consecutive years.
Brass Ensemble: Pupils learning the trumpet, trombone, French horn and euphonium meet weekly to explore the brass band repertoire. The Brass Ensemble is open to all brass pupils from S1-S6 with past performances including the Christmas Service and Creative and Aesthetic Evening.
Samba Band: All percussion pupils have the opportunity to explore the catchy Latin American rhythms at weekly Samba Band rehearsals. The Samba Band have also undertaken community fundraising and have formed links with Morrisons in Anniesland which has provided them with past performance opportunities.
Choir: The choir is a relatively new addition to the Music Department’s array of extra-curricular activities and has been very well received. Past performances have included coffee mornings and appearances at IDL events with future plans to sing Christmas carols at Princes Square and visit local primary and nursery schools.
Glee Club: Pupils interested in Musical Theatre have the opportunity to participate in the Glee Club which rehearses for a musical in October each year. Past shows have included Grease, Hairspray, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and We Will Rock You.
