East Glendalough School

The Christmas Concert

It is tradition every year for East Glendalough to have a Christmas concert, and they are always a major success. Almost everyone gets involved, and each year the concert has a theme. The concert is led by the sixth year students, who pick the theme. This year’s theme was ‘’ Heroes and Villians’’. It was an excellent choice.
All years participated in the concert, from comedy sketches and drama’s to singing and dancing. This year I was in four acts. Opening the concert was the school choir led by Nevel Cox. The choir always performs in the concert and it’s always a success. I preformed a dance to Michael Jackson alongside my peers, and I sang a Michael Jackson song myself.

A big part of this year’s concert was an extract from Warpman, our transition year musical. Every year transition year students perform a play or musical and a snippet of this is always included in the concert.
Every year, there is always a special guest appearance ( who is most likely a teacher ). This year the much loved Mr.Gargan, took to the stage with some sixth year students and rocked his heart out to Iron Man. It was fantastic and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really hope the Christmas concerts continue to be such an unbelievable success.
