Army Band Visit

The school were treated to a fantastic visit lately from the Army Band, who hail from the Mullingar Barracks.

Beginning at 11 o'clock, they put on a great display for the school, showing the students the various instruments of the orchestra while playing some well known tunes.

Hits such as 'Happy', a cartoon medley (shown below), Skyfall (from James Bond) and Ireland's Call kept the students, staff and parents in good spirits and hugely entertained!!

They even had time to allow some children play instruments with them and they really enjoyed shaking the percussion instruments along with the band!

Margaret got a rousing Happy Birthday played to her and the day ended with some students actually conducting the band, including a very happy Junior Infant!

Thanks again to the band for playing for us and to Mr. Fox for organising the whole event!
