Performing Arts Showcase
We are looking forward to welcoming parents and the wider community along to this year’s Performing Arts Showcase on Wednesday 27th March at 7pm.
The evening will follow the same relaxed format as last year, featuring various performances at different locations in the campus.
The event kicks off on our “Main Stage” (the school canteen) with a performance by the Alford Academy Pipe Band.
From 7.30 – 9.00pm, guests can freely choose which venues to visit, including further music performances at the Main Stage, drama performances in the Theatre and the Young Musician of the Year competition in the staffroom.
Tickets are priced at £2.50 and can be purchased from the Interact group from Monday 4th March at the pupil foyer. All proceeds are going towards the school fund and the Interact group to support future school concerts.
Consent forms for participants will be issued in the coming weeks, but there is still time for more young people to get involved! If your child is interested in being part of a music, drama or Young Musician performance, please get in touch with a member of the Performing Arts faculty.
