They did beautifully tonight.

Dr Heather came in and drilled them on how to march and stand. So they subsequently saluted with rather more vigour than I've seen to date.

Unfortunately, they acted so well that the story dragged on. 15 minutes longer than it needs to be.

Careless.

But there were some real knock your socks off moments to compensate for their slow slackness.

I've done the programme.

I think (B S Neill, you'd be proud) I've even managed the pagination sensibly.

(Make a dummy. You know it makes sense.)

And as icing on the cake, some rather fine photos from Mr Davey from Monday's rehearsal.

You'll have to come along to the show and purchase a programme if you want to see them in all of their finery.

But you can have one little small tiny one to whet your appetite.

Enjoy.
