FTO is grateful for the support given by Falkirk Coucil Education Department and for funding assistance from Stirling Educational Trust.

Award

FTO was delighted to receive in 2003 an award of £5,000 from Awards for All. This allowed the orchestra to purchase a set of orchestral percussions instruments – three pedal timpani, drum kit, glockenspiel, crash cymbals, packing boxes and covers. This was wonderful news and FTO expresses its sincere thanks to Awards for All and the Scottish Arts Council.
