• BALLYMENA FESTIVAL OF MUSIC

  Fri 24 Feb 2017

  Congratulations to our Music Quartet Eva Cardwell, Brooke Davis, Emily McFarland and Casey Smith who came 3rd in the Ballymena Festival on Monday 20th February.   Well done girls!!!

   

  "Yesterday Brooke, Casey, Emily and I travelled to the Braid Centre in Ballymena.  We took part in a competition.  When we got there the Braid was massive.  We got out our instruments and got our seats.  When we went up on the stage, I was a bit nervous, but I just went ahead and introduced our school.  It felt good to start.  We were a string quartet and we were placed third.  We were very pleased with the result!
