Scoil Mhuire and the RTE Big Music Train
HSCL was contacted last August by RTE with a view to organising a Musical Parade in Newbridge to celebrate RTE’s Big Music Week. The purpose of this parade was to celebrate the vibrant music scene of the town and to showcase local talent. Scoil Mhuire was delighted to avail of the opportunity to partake in this and display the wonderful talent our school is synonymous with our school.
Over 2000 young people from various schools and community groups walked, sang and played instruments in a display of all that is good and creative in our town.
One very special feature of the Scoil Mhuire parade entry was the participation of parents from the Parents’ Room. Don Nea and his parent’s guitar class led the children in a medley of song and music from the train station to the P.B.S. We extend sincere thanks to the parents who played guitars or other instruments, those who sang along or those who came out to support us in any way on that wonderful day.
The concert at noon organised by RTE encompassed a selection of local and national talent. It served to remind us of what a remarkable musical heritage this town has and the day itself became a beacon for community development in ways.
We featured on many different media platforms such as Nationwide, Twitter and the RTE Music Week website. There is a link below to a short You Tube video where our school also features.
Thank you for joining us. We look forward to many more parent school adventures this year!
