Schools Orchestra

In September of this year St. Anne's School, Scoil Mhuire and Rathmichael School got together with Daithí Mac Aodhagáin. Daithi has the musical skills required to work with the children and comes highly recommended. He is training to be a paramedic at night and also volunteers as a fireman. We decided to try and put together an orchestra between the three schools with the talent we have. Auditions were held for the senior classes of the schools, 3rd to 6th. Approximately seven children from each school were chosen. All of these have different talents to offer. Each week Daithi comes to each school to work with the children. The children are enthusiastic and look forward to his visits. I have been a frequent visitor to the classes and am delighted with their progress. It is hoped that soon the three schools will come together to rehearse what they have learnt so far. We are working towards some kind of performance in the future.
