Interschools Music Festival
The Coláiste Muire choir took part in the Interschools Music Festival in Wesley College, Dublin on Friday March 6th. Coláiste Muire choir participated in the David Wilson Cup competition for 3 Part Mixed Choirs. Our choir were one of 9 in the competition and performed alongside choirs that have been very long established. They performed an arrangement of The Skye Boat Song, a well known Scottish traditional song. The choir have been practicing hard over a number of weeks, both after school and at lunchtimes. Heartiest congratulations to all involved – the choir represented themselves and our school impeccably well and we are very proud of their achievement. Many thanks to Mr. O’Connor and Ms. Heaney McGreal for their input in the preparations for last Friday! You can watch their performance below….
