On the 2nd of February, 17 boys from 6th Class went to Peace Proms in the RDS. We all arrived by 4:30pm and met our teachers and SNA and then we were brought to our seats. Luckily we got front row seats and we got to sit right beside the orchestra. When every school arrived we got started on a practice before the parents arrived.
After we had finished doing the rehearsal we had our lunches and bathroom breaks. We brought in a disposable bag and Ms Phillips & Ms. Doyle brought water, because we could not bring our own metal water bottles. After everyone came back from bathroom breaks, we all sat down and the Cross Border Orchestra came out. The Conductor came onto the stage and introduced the orchestra and all the schools. When he finished the presentation we sang our first song which was ‘Moments We Live For’.
The atmosphere was amazing for all the songs. We sang the Dance Medley in the second half and the Dance Medley was probably the best because our class made up our own dance moves for it! The cameraman was in front of us filming us dancing for the whole thing. We were lucky we were in the front row and had lots of space!
Thank you to our parents for coming to watch us on the night and a big thank you to Ms. Doyle, Ms. Phillips, Mr. Garland and Lynne for planning, organising, practicing with us beforehand and accompanying us on the night. We all really enjoyed it.
