We are excited to commence our whole school festive activities next Thursday with our “Christmas Concert and Review of 2024”. The focus of the evening will be to celebrate the successes that our pupils have enjoyed across the whole school (not just in the performing arts), presented and led by our Senior Pupil Executive. There will be as always, musical and dramatic performances featuring groups of pupils from all year groups. Tickets are priced £5 / £2.50 concession and will be on sale at 1.30pm from Monday 2nd – Thursday 5th December at the pupil entrance. Please could we ask that when purchasing tickets that you send in the correct amount of money and please note any cheques for tickets should be made payable to “Alford Academy School Fund.”
All proceeds from this event will go to the Alford Academy School Fund to support future performing arts events. The following groups will be performing at our event: Wind Band, Pipe Band, Vocal Group, Drama Club and S5 Band.
As this is a school event, pupils who are participating must wear full school uniform, i.e. white shirt/blouse, school tie, black trousers or skirt and black shoes. The only exception to this is for the members of the pipe band who will be wearing school kilts and the members of the Drama Club who will be wearing costumes. Participating pupils should arrive at school no later than 18:30 on the 5th December and we aim to be finished by 20:30.
We can reserve front row seats for audience members for whom the theatre stairs are a challenge. If you require support in this regard, please send an email to the school stating which pupil purchased the tickets, how many front row seats are required and if the seats are required to be at floor level (for example for wheelchair users) and we will ensure that seats are kept aside.
We are looking to do some fundraising at the Christmas Concert to raise funds for our Pipe Band and Performing Arts Faculty, so please, if you can, bring along some pound coins to support us.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Christmas Concert and Review of 2024 on the 5th December.
