Today at Kilgraston we had an excellent Christmas themed day….

Everyone dressed in Christmas jumpers….. we all had Christmas lunch c/o Dougie and his team, and then this afternoon we were entertained by each of our houses in the Inter House music competition which was wonderful to see and hear.

Kilgraston Christmas Concert - Friday 8th December 2017

Movie magic was truly in the air on Friday night and every Kilgraston girl took to the stage to perform to a sold-out Perth Concert Hall.

Director of Music, Jason McAuley and Director of Drama, Lilla Scott ensured the girls were ready to showcase their musical and acting abilities. The audience watched as the girls performed scenes from many favourite Christmas films and were delighted to hear the junior and senior orchestras play modern and traditional pieces beautifully.

The concert opened this year with Headmistress, Mrs Dorothy MacGinty, giving her traditional welcome speech. Staff, families, friends and of course the girls were welcomed and told of how the famous Christmas Day Truce in the trench was negotiable by the great-great grandfather of two current Kilgraston girls.

Audience members were encouraged to participate and everyone rose to sing traditional Christmas songs together.

The evening was rounded off by Mr McAuley leading the whole school choir and orchestra, in a rousing and inspiring version of the traditional Auld Lang Syne.

Once again, in their traditional tartan, Kilgraston girls rose to the occasion as actors, musicians and singers put on a performance that proudly displayed their talents and achievements and were whole-heartedly applauded by all.
