JGHS Music Tour: Blankenberg Band Stand

Today we awoke early and got everything packed on the bus to go off to Blankenberg for our second and final concert of the tour.  once arriving at the band stand, all the instruments were assembled on the bandstand and we were able to put some chairs at the front for people to sit on during the performances.

The Pipe Band kicked off the second concert and drew a large crowd around the bandstand.  We followed on with the remainder of the programme ending with the theme tune of Mission Impossible.

The pupils were well received, and as a treat we went to the beach to eat our hard-earned lunch!

On our return to Gent we quickly changed and assembled at the Castle of the Counts.  This is one of Gent's most famous historic attractions. 

After touring the castle the staff and pupils had some spare time to roam the cobbled streets of Gent, buying Belgium chocolates among other souvenirs.  

Below are some pictures of the pupils today:
