Well done to you all!!!

You performed like true professionals. The hard work, dedication (tears) and years of tuition from your mentors have all paid off big time! The senior band players, current and a few from the near past, were there and thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. A show which you, and please remember, it was your show as much as it was the Youth bands, excelled in.

Mums and Dads can only be so proud of their stars who helped to make the night so enjoyable to all, standing ovations and all. Thanks must always go out to them for putting up with the continual practices etc. THANKS.

Thanks again and well done.

Band Manager

Just wanted to say well done on last nights performance, it sounded great from where I was standing and I've heard lots of good feedback from folk in the audience aswell. It was a pleasure playing with you guys.

Linda,

Just a short note to say how much we enjoyed the concert last night and would like to send our congratulations to the young band and to say their performance was very good.

The concert was fantastic, what a great reception from the audience! Last year's concert was brilliant and this year even better. It was really good having another Pipe Band involved to bounce off of, and the finale was played so well for being thrown together with no practice run!!

All the best to the band for the year ahead

Bob, Linda, Scott, Ian,
We just had to drop you a line and say how proud we were of the band last night at the Arts Centre - they were fantastic and so professional!
I think that our favourite parts were the drum corps, and of course the finale with the National Youth Pipe Band - it just made the hairs on the backs of our necks stand up!!

Thank you all so much for all your continued input, encouragement and technical support - Callum had a night that he will remember for the rest of his life.

Bob,

On behalf of Lathallan School Pipe Band (as their band manager) I have to say that the Bucksburn NJ band's performance was excellent! Please pass on our praise to both the players and to Ian for the work he does with them. They really were fantastic.

We were at the concert tonight at the Arts Centre. What a fantastic night of pipes and drums.

Thought the Novice Juvenile Band were great. Thanks for a great evening.
