30th January 2017

Congratulations to St Columba’s Orchestra and Jazz Band who won each of their respective classes at the Festival on 27th January and to the Percussion Ensemble who were second in their class on Saturday 28th January.

The Orchestra received the following comments from the adjudicator on their performance of Gabriel’s Oboe and Mary Poppins - “This was a most beautiful performance with marvellously judged balance and colour.  Not an easy piece to bring off in this form - a triumph for your players.”

The Jazz Band performed Gimme Some Lovin’ and Accidentally in Love and the adjudicator was equally impressed quoting, “This is a really disciplined ensemble whose precision in all aspects of the music is impressive.  Nobody over asserts and all are aware of the full effect of what they are doing.  Well done!”
