Live concerts 2012

The Live 2012 concerts were a great success. We were pleased to welcome hundreds of children from local primary schools to Ballakermeen for a long rehearsal and then performance to friends and families in the evenings. We hope they enjoyed their day, with lunch in the 'BallaDome' and huge applause for every item. Thanks also to mums and dads for supporting them, and our Music and Drama staff for making it all happen.
