School Bands Spectacular at Shannon Airport
The annual School Bands Spectacular saw over 120 pupils from Ennis National School and Knockanean National School from Co. Clare as well as Milford National School, Co. Limerick deliver a two-hour performance in the check-in area which culminated with a tribute to Anthony Foley and Munster rugby.
After their individual sets, the three groups, in a show of their solidarity with the family of the late Anthony Foley, gathered for a final salute to the fallen Shannon, Munster and Ireland rugby hero before the curtain was drawn on the annual spectacular.
Songs like ‘There Is An Isle’, ‘Stand Up And Fight’ and ‘Ireland’s Call’ got an emotional rendition as the children passionately gave their all in front of special guests, Munster players Mike Sherry and Mark Chisholm, as well as parents and family members.
Many thanks to our wonderful band members and band leaders Ms. Reidy, Ms. Taylor, Ms. O’Meara, Ms. Ryan and Ms Fenton who represented our school so brilliantly on the day.
