Prom Praise By Holly and Joshua
On Saturday 3rd February the Senior Room travelled to the Peace Proms in the RDS (Royal Dublin Society) in Dublin. We met at school at 9.15 and left at 9.30. As we arrived in Dublin we saw the River Liffey and lots of different bridges. When we arrived at the RDS, teacher told me this is where the Dublin Horse Show takes place. While the parents got a bite to eat, we were practising with the CBOI, which means Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland and a conductor. When the parents started to arrive, we waited to begin. Over 2000 children were in the choir. We had to wear white t-shirts with no logos or collars. We sang over 20 songs such as, “We are one”, “It’s Friday again” and “Pompei”. There were Irish Dancers and Scottish Dancers and special soloists. One of them was called Alisha Weir. It was amazing to be part of such a large choir. When it was finished we went back to the bus and stopped at Applegreen on the way home where we got food and took videos and got pictures with the Monaghan boxers, the McKenna brothers.
