The Annual Spring Concert in March was a
huge success. Fourteen different groups
and over three hundred students performed
to a packed Ulster Hall. With so many
different musical genres represented it
really was a feast of music. The
performance of ‘The Armed Man’ was
truly special, considering that just a few
days later, we would be in lock-down.
Special mention must go to the various
members of M6 for whom this was to be
their last concert. There are simply too
many to mention by name in this short
article but Mr Forde, Mrs Prior and myself
have greatly appreciated your support
during your time at BRA.
All in all, we had much cause for
celebration and I am looking forward to the
next academic year already!

The Music Department would like to take
this opportunity to thank the various
members of staff who sing, conduct,
accompany and take part in so many
instrumental and choral groups. Without
your support the Music Department would
find it very difficult to produce music of
such a high standard. Thanks also to the
instrumental teachers in the school who
have shown such commitment to the pupils
that they teach in school throughout the
year.
Finally, news of some successes in the
wider choral and instrumental scene. Eve
Henderson gained a place in the Ulster
Youth Choir while Eva Hayward, Theo
Hayward, Jonny Hayward and Maya
Reilly-Stewart gained places in the Ulster
Youth Orchestra. These places are all
highly prized and gained only by audition
against the stiffest of competition province
wide. Many congratulations to them all.
