Congratulations to Sophie McLellan in Year 9 who is a member of the Grade 4 John McGlashan Pipe Band.

The John McGlashan Pipe Band has had a stellar season where we won the Dugald MacKay Memorial Trophy for the best Grade 4 Pipe Corp (Otago Bands only). This is incredible, considering the Grade 4 bands are open to anyone; the band came out on top of some adult bands! It was a great achievement, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their day.

If anyone is interested in learning the bagpipes, snare, tenor or bass drum, with the plan to join the John McGlashan Pipe Band, please contact Louis Davis (davislrs2000@gmail.com) and he can put you into contact with some knowledgeable tutors. You don’t have to be a John McGlashan student to join the band, only a Dunedin school student. Students of all school ages are welcome to join and are currently competing members.
