BALLYMENA FEIS

On Friday 23rd February the Orchestra competed in the Primary School Orchestra Class at the Ballymena Festival of Music.  The competition was of a very high standard.  They performed two pieces, "Hornpipe" from the Water Music by Handel and "Tango Mexicana", a Mexican folk song. The children performed exceedingly well and were awarded first place receiving the Kyle McNamara Shield.

The Adjudicator commented;

"Water Music was delightful with good dynamics and staccato"

"The Tango was great and you captured the mood of the dance well"

"A thoroughly enjoyable, well played performance - terrific!"

We would like to thank all the staff who helped with extra lessons at break and lunch times, Mr Gourley, Miss Pankhurst, Miss McClenaghan, Miss Brown, Mrs McClean, Mrs Reed, Miss Davison and Mr Mairs.
