School Prizegiving performance.

I came across this one the other week in an online news site from New Zealand, where, at the school end of year prize giving, the school orchestra performed a brilliant rendition of Led Zepellin's Stairway To Heaven.
While the performers were all in school uniform, you can see that one of the male guitarists and drummer appear to both be wearing the school kilt.
It's quite a good rendition of this song.

May be the school has a progressive attitude to uniform policy as some of us have outlined in UK schools where we are governors, on this site in the last week?
Performance was good as you suggest.

Maybe not, the boys are wearing bona fide kilts, not kilted skirts.
The school may have a progressive outlook on uniform but it is a a high status independent, not a local comprehensive.
It's title is St. Andrews College this will explain a lot,
"St Andrew's College was founded by Rev. Alexander Thomas Thompson in 1917 in the Scottish Presbyterian tradition of the Christian faith.
The school began in a humble fashion with 19 boys and four teachers, driven by the determination of the Reverend Thompson, whose driving ambition was to ‘educate the sons of the Presbyterian and Scottish community of Canterbury." Wiki
The performance was certainly good, but that auditorium certainly indicated a substantial production cost too.
