Belgium Music Trip and Summer Rehearsals

JGHS Pipe Band have just returned from a fantastic trip to Belgium with the JGHS music department. Around half the size of our full band, the trip pipers and drummers enjoyed playing in the sunshine for a change!

As part of the school concerts, the pipe band successfully drew in a crowd to St Michealskirk in Ghent and to the bandstand in Blankenberge. We also enjoyed an impromptu performance in Ghent town square, with a little help from our music trip friends who entertained (and perhaps baffled) the inhabitants of Ghent with a Gay Gordons amongst other ceilidh dances.

A massive thanks to the JGHS music department for taking us all on a brilliant trip!


The band will now take a two week break before resuming practices in the run up to our first ever outdoor pipe band contests in North Berwick and of course, The World Pipe Band Championships in August.

Parents and band members- please keep an eye on your emails for further information.

For now though- enjoy your holidays!
