KILSHANNA STUDENTS SHINE IN DUBLIN
Students of Kilshanna Music Studio Mitchelstown did themselves and the studio proud when they attended their first Speech and Drama Teachers of Ireland Feis in the Talbot Hotel in Dublin.
“To say we are proud of our all our Munchkins is never in doubt. It was our first in person competition in two years and our fantastic young performers shone bright as always both in solo verse and solo musical theatre,” a report from the studio stated.
“The top 15 in each category from the entire country were chosen from thousands of online entries and 15 qualified to attend the finals. 13 competed and they shone bright as they represented North Cork and South Tipperary with wonderful results. Sienna Rose Griffin and Rachel Jones also qualified finalists but (were) unable to attend.
“Thank you to our fantastic students, teachers and parents who work so hard and support us always.”
