The Hallelujah Concert
A report by Ali Kearney
3rd class
A group of students from St Andrews went to the Hallelujah Concert on Saturday the 12th of December 2009. We travelled on the bus to get to the concert in the R.D.S. in Dublin. We had to practice the songs before the concert started. Soon after the practice the parents started to arrive and get their seats. When the music started we all got very excited and started singing. We were lucky because our seats were in the front and we could dance around. My favourite part was watching the dancers on the stage with their fancy clothes. My least favourite part was when we had to practice for hours. It was very nice of the Teachers to give up their Saturday to be with us.
The Christmas Concert
A report by Hannah Keogh
3rd class
On Friday 18th December St. Andrew’s N.S. staged it’s annual Christmas concert and it as a great success. Each class got an opportunity to demonstrate display the vast amount of talent at St. Andrew’s. The comperes for the show were sixth class students Brian Eiffe and James Gibney and they did a very good job. The boys firstly introduced Junior Infants with 6th class performing a dance routine, followed by Junior and Senior Infants reciting some poems. Next on the stage was the recorder group who played a medley of Christmas songs. The Christmas music continued to fill the air when the guitar group took to the stage to accompany myself and Ciara Keogh when we sang Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger and Silent Night. The Hallelujah concert group then performed some songs from the recent show in the RDS. Next up was 3rd and 4th class who entertained the crowd with a super dance routine. The 5th class girls performed a fantastic dance routine to Cheryl Cole’s no.1 hit ‘Fight for this love’ Finally the Nativity play was acted out by 1st and 2nd class. Joseph and Mary were played by Sara Healy and Neil Joyce. The students of Curragha owe a big thank you to all the teachers in the school and to Mr. Holt the recorder teacher and Aedin the dancing teacher for helping to prepare the show.
