well-known local jazz band is comprised of former students who
attended Mearns Castle High School and it is conducted by
Grace Hamilton a music teacher who used to be at the school. The
big band sound will resonate in the Columba hall and those who
wish to jive or otherwise will be encouraged to do so! We look
