Midlothian CCBand

@Trisha_the_doc @FionaMacF @KnoxDknoxgordon @sfcallaghan If we put our waistcoats on does it mean we’re professionals and therefore allowed to play? @KnoxDknoxgordon , consult the lawyers!

@FionaMacF @KnoxDknoxgordon @sfcallaghan @MidlothianCCB The community band... a totally awesome ensemble...

“Singing and the playing of brass and wind instruments in groups or in front of an audience is limited to professionals only”. Are professionals in better control of their droplets than amateurs, I’m wondering? If anything I’d have thought the “projection” would be greater?!

Mamma Mia, Here we go again...🎶😞 @BBCScotland @STVEdinburgh @Mid_Advertiser @TheScotsman, you turn your back for one minute and, like an incalcitrant toddler, they get up to mischief.

Dear #SWNT - you’ve taken Scotland to our first World Cup in 21 years, scored our first ever goals in a women’s World Cup, and inspired our nation. I know how heartbroken you will feel right now, but hold your heads high - you’ve done us proud ❤️ #SCO

Once again @midgov are planning to get rid of the Instrumental Music Service at their full council meeting on Tuesday. Full papers on their website. We MUST stop this insane move @savemidmusic @Mid_Advertiser @edinburghpaper @forthone @MidlothianView @JohnSwinney

2 days to go, less than £2,000 to find. We can do this! #changethetune #savemidlothianmusic" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">crowdjustice.com/case/changethe…

Education secretary accepts music tuition charges could be stopping pupils pursuing music qualifications and tells councils the only way to deal with the problem is to abolish fees tes.com/news/music-les…

Hey @LewisCapaldi , help us ensure all Scottish kids get a fair chance to learn an instrument? A retweet would be fantastic!

You were so good helping us spread the word about our protest, @RSNO but this is wider reaching and a potentially permanent solution. Could you help again by retweeting the link?

What can £1 can get you these days? A Mars bar? 1/3 of a latte? A fair chance of a musical education? Help us ensure our education system recognises music as part of our children’s education and funds it appropriately. #changethetune crowdjustice.com/case/changethe…

Woohoooooo! Well done Midlothian pupils! We have a space saving idea for the next protest- who needs stands when you have hoods and pegs? 😂 #SaveMidlothianMusicTuition #ChangeTheTune

If you’re feeling like protest makes no difference ... this morning Midlothian Council axed plans to axe music and expressive arts from my local schools ... in response to overwhelming beautiful noisy protest! So speak, sing!!

Well done @savemidmusic @MidlothianCCB 👏 Next step is to ensure music tuition is free for all across Scotland as per @SP_EduSkills recommendation. #ChangeTheTune 🎼🎵🎶

& this was #midgov’s response later today twitter.com/midgov/status/… well done everyone, including @MidlothianCCB & @midgov

It’s more than just killing music in schools, ultimately it means no longer having those skills in our economy. And that’s crazy, when entertainment is such an important part of Scotland’s present AND future!

‘Ah, music,’ he said, wiping his eyes. ‘A magic beyond all we do here!’ #AlbusDumbledore knew a thing or two about the importance of music in a child’s life. Join our pupils to protest cuts to music tuition tomorrow @jk_rowling #SaveMidlothianMusicTuition

If you're near Dalkeith give support if you can to the @savemidmusic protest in Dalkeith tomorrow (12th) at 10am against @midgov axing of music education in schools - read more @ bit.ly/mns-feb19-11
