Christmas Music
" The Peace Child"
Congratulations to all on a job well done!
Our school has been involved with the Music Generation Programme for the last three years.
Miss Ailbhe Kelly our Music generation tutor worked closely with all teachers and pupils since early January preparing for the school show "The Peace Child" which is a story set in a mystical land of Mambeeka where two very different tribes exist.
The audience enjoyed a variety of musical styles from jazz-rock to rap and hip-hop, two part rounds and three parts harmonies.
Well done to the pupils of 3rd,4th,5th & 6th who had lots of lines to learn and performed very well on the day.
