Fashion Show!

After weeks of practising, the Fashion Show in Celbridge Manor was on this Tuesday and Wednesday. It was so fun! I did modelling, Irish dancing and music in it. On Friday, we all practised our ‘model walk’.

My group modelled for Born in Naas. On Monday we all went out to the shop to pick the clothes we would wear in the Fashion Show. The shop was so nice! There were loads of Christmassy clothes. We each got a casual outfit and a dressy outfit to wear in the show. Besides some stressful quick changes, the modelling went well and I enjoyed it!

I performed in a TY music group with Sadhbh, Hannah, Clara, Dearbhla, Eimear and Aoife. We did a Bastille medley with songs like Pompeii, Laura Palmer and Of the Night. I played my box drum and the other girls sang and played guitar. I also sang in a Christmas Carols choir with girls from 2nd year to 5th year. We got to wear Christmas jumpers from Dunne Stores which were cute. :)

For the Irish Dancing we danced to a song called ‘Cry of the Celts’. There were light dancers and Heavy dancers (Just means different shoes for non-dancers). Ms. H made us sparkly waistbands for our costumes. The dance went well both nights. It was extremely tiring though because it was very long! We nearly broke the stage apparently because we jumped so much, but I guess that’s a good thing? The dancing was probably one of my favourite parts of the night.

Our Mini Companies were allowed to set up stalls and sell. We were taking orders for Canvases both nights and we did quite well! For more information about our Mini Company look at my blog post http://evemcmahonty.blogspot.ie/2014/11/photobeau.html

In between my times on stage I did get to see the rest of the show. I really enjoyed the Ballerinas who danced to an Ed Sheeran song, and the Bridal section. The teachers appeared loads throughout the show and they were great. I loved seeing the Debs section because the dresses were gorgeous, although I only got to see it through a tiny opening in the door as I was waiting to go on stage!

Now that the fashion show is over, I have so much free time as there aren't any after school rehearsals anymore. As much as it was fun, I can't wait to go home tonight and just watch a lot of TV and catch up on I'm a Celebrity…

Fun Walk and Ed!

On Thursday we had our annual Fun Walk for friendship week. Each year had to dress in a colour and each class had to do a dance. Our colour as TYs was yellow. It was so hard to find something yellow to wear.. Who even wears yellow?

Fun Walk.. Sadhbh, Lauren

As we are class Ariel we did our dance with The Little Mermaid as our theme. We all dressed as flounders with Mr. L dressed in a homemade shark costume and we wheeled Sarah Mc out in a wheel barrow as Ariel. Although it was stressful trying to organise the dance the morning of the Fun Walk, it turned out great! We should have won, just saying... TYs led the walk and we were stationed around Celbridge. It was a good day.:)

On Friday, a few of us left school early and went to see Ed Sheeran play at the 3Arena. We waited for three and a half hours in the lashing rain with crappy umbrellas and got soaked, but we got to the very front of the standing section at the barrier. It was absolutely amazing! We were so close and it was a brilliant concert. It was so worth getting drenched! :))

Today was my third day of Work Experience in Avoca and it's going really well. I now know my way around the cafe really well and am enjoying it!
