Córfheile na Scoileanna 2015

Choir, Videos

BETNS was a quiet place on the day of the Córfhéile Choir Festival.  A whopping 107 children left the school first thing that morning to travel to the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght to participate in the annual Córfheile na Scoileanna choir festival.  The festival in a non-competitive event designed to showcase the talent of school choirs all over the country.  After a stressful start to the day on the M50 ‘car park’, the choirs recovered in fine style and represented themselves and their school with gusto.  Well done to everyone involved but particular commendation goes to the 6th class participants (Bita, Paula, Megan, Selina and Carolyn) who showed such good leadership  both within the choir itself but also on the day.

If you weren’t able to make it to the performance in person, you can appreciate the talent of our choirs in the videos below.  Unfortunately the battery in our camera ran out just as we were hitting our final notes so you will just have to imagine the rapturous applause we received!

Getting ready for World Mental Health Day!

Choir, Uncategorized

Next Wednesday, the 10th of October, is World Mental Heath Day.  To raise awareness of this (and also to have some fun!) the senior choir are going to go over to Castle Mills during lunch time and sing some of the songs we have learned so far this year.  Some of the choir also gave up their lunchtime on Friday to create a poster to help raise awareness of the important issue of mental health.  If you’re around between 12.05 and 12.25 next Wednesday, feel free to come over and listen to us sing!
