On Saturday, musicians from Tenby Junior School took part in the County Instrumental Festival in Haverfordwest. The school orchestra performed two pieces - Rooster Rock and Old Joe Clark - in the morning concert and were well received by the packed audience. Playing to such a large audience was a great experience and one the children will never forget.
Competitions took place in the afternoon, with musicians from the school, from solo performers to the school rock band, competing with children from all over Pembrokeshire and achieving the best results ever!
