Last night I attended a most enjoyable Summer Concert at Baldragon Academy. The programme featured a breadth of performers and variety of musical genres. The excellence of each performance was a testament to the musicality of the pupils and the quality of the Music Department in the school under the leadership of Fiona Anderson as well as the impressive range of visiting music teachers.
Each performance was rewarded by enthusiastic applause from an appreciative audience. The photograph above shows piper and school orchestra performing Amazing Grace.
Headteacher, Dr John Cavanagh, delivered the vote of thanks and wished pupils, parents and carers and staff an enjoyable summer break.

Earlier this evening I enjoyed attending the annual Christmas Concert at Baldragon Academy in Dundee. The programme included many fine performances from pupils and staff. I was particularly impressed with the proportion of boys singing and playing instuments in a variety of combinations. I especially enjoyed the percussion ensemble whose 'Hey ya!' was played on varying lengths of plastic tubes. The music department is to be congratulated for the wealth of musical talents it has fostered and coached to an entertaining standard. Very well done Baldragon!
