Foreword On behalf of Knox Academy, a warm welcome to our annual Christmas Concert. This is a long and exciting term, and it is great credit to the staff and friends of the school that Knox can celebrate the holiday in such fine fashion. This evening is a team effort- but the Music Department must be congratulated on their enthusiasm, commitment and talent in drawing all the elements together. Very best wishes for the festive season and 2009 JB Craig Headteacher Acknowledgements Ticket Sales Office staff Stewards Staff and Prefects Stage Management Ailie Henderson, Ryan Bissoonauth, Charlie Cowan and Andrew Gilmour Thanks to the Janitors for all their help regarding the concert arrangements.
