Peter Killian Cup Returns To Kilkenny!

Many congrats to our Senior Orchestra who were victorious in the Primary Schools Orchestra competition in Feis Ceoil yesterday, bringing the Peter Killian cup home to Kilkenny for the 22nd time!  Well done also to the Junior Orchestra who were narrowly beaten.  It was a very enjoyable day for all teachers, parents and children who travelled to Dublin and very well done to all concerned!   Well done also to all past pupils of St Canices in the Loreto Orchestra who won the Post Primary Schools Orchestra competition  – a great day for music in Kilkenny!
