As with most things with a 14 year old boy, it was laden with difficulty.
It seems, for some unknown reason, the school didn't want any one to attend because they never announced the time until this afternoon. At least that's Ciaran's story...
"What time do you have to be there?"Anyway we got there in time.
"It starts at half seven so I guess half seven"
"Yes, but do you need to be there early to set up?"
"I don't know"
"Maybe we should get there a little early, to maybe park, and then get in, and so you can find where you're supposed to be"
"OK, I guess we have to be there at 7:15"
Bang on time the Youth Choir began to enter. Row upon row. They sang a single song and then filed out. The song was nice though.
Then it was the Guitarists. It seemed to take ages for them t get the kit ready and begin. Sadly there was trouble with the amps so I don't think it sounded right but they enjoyed it.
The senior choir was followed by a lovely duet of "Safe and Sound" from the Hunger Games. I must find out who sings it for real and see if its as good.
Then three more girls were followed by the string orchestra who completed the first half with a slowed down can-can.
The second half started with the brass band doing carols.
Another song by the senior choir led to Ciaran and the rest of the woodwind ensemble.
This was followed by an excellent guy singing "Bring Him Home" from Les Mis. Absolutely fantastic.
The youth choir filed back in, sang another song and filed back out.
Then, keeping it Scottish, we had pipers and drums.
The brass band then led everyone in "Hark! The Herald"
