Highland-style college musicians on tour of region

RESIDENTS around the region have been treated to the Highland sounds of the Scots-PGC College after a recent tour of towns west of Warwick.

The school's senior choirs and the pipes and drums band had a ball on the mini-tour and loved having the chance to perform to new crowds.

The tour featured the began with a dip into New South Wales "enemy territory" on State of Origin night, but stayed friendly at all other times, of course.

The college combined with the Moree Public School choir and the local highland dancing school to perform a community concert at Moree Public School.

The next day the group travelled to Dalby.

The choirs attended Dalby Eisteddfod and the pipes and drums performed at the Karingal Nursing Home before joining together once more for a community concert at the Dalby Uniting Church.

At the Dalby Eisteddfod, the Senior Girls' Choir won all sections and the Boys' Vocal Group was awarded two seconds and a third.

On Friday, the groups conducted an open rehearsal at Dalby Christian College before heading south to perform for Moonie State School.

The last two concerts were held at St Mary's Goondiwindi, the first for the students and later a community concert.

By all reports, staff and students had a fantastic time.
