Congratulations to the Transition Year students and First Year Chorus who were awarded the Pat Heaney Memorial Trophy for Best Overall Show, The Wiz, in the recent Connacht Tribune Schools’ Musical Awards. They also won the award for Best Visual. Paddy Daly, the adjudicator of the awards said the following about The HRC production:

“In this the third year of the Connacht Tribune Schools’ Musical Competition the standard of the production was of a very high standard indeed. Particularly impressive was the quality of the singing, including diction and harmony, choreography, acting, delivery of dialogue, characterisation and interaction between principals and chorus throughout from so many of such a young age.”
