It also has our very own Mr Ruth, Ms Kavanagh, Mr. Leahy, Ms.Kinsella and Mr Carroll.

We wish Colm and Conor the best of luck with their launch tonight.

Percussion Workshop Part 2

15/11/2017

0 Comments

 
The part 2 or the drumming workshop will take place on 21st November in the music room. All the TY groups enjoyed the workshop so much the last time that Thomas Duffy was called back in to do another one. This will be a team building exercise used to strengthen the connection within the TY classes. The class will be split into three different parts, each playing a different type of drum. Each group will have a different role and alternative beat to learn. Once the beat was learned, all the groups joined together to make what turned out to be a very smooth rhythm.

We were given the background of Afro-Brazilian drumming and carnivals. And we each got the chance to play different kinds of drums.

At the end of the year 20-25 students will participate in a TY drumming orchestra on the night of the Awards Ceremony.

We would like to thank Thomas Duffy for coming in and introducing us to Brazilian drums. All students enjoyed this experience immensely.

Schedule
Period 1-2 TY4
Period 3-4 TY3
Period 5-6 TY2
Period 8-9 TY1

Interview with Junior Hurling Captain

15/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Name: Tomas Dunne

Age: 16
​

Position: Midfield

What club do you play for?
Tullaroan

Who’s your idol?
Stevie Maher

Who’s your favourite hurler to hurl with from CBS?
Ben Tyrrell

How do you feel the junior hurling team is after coming on since the start of the year?
At the start of the year when the lads all first met up and had their first training session together, they weren't hurling too well together as they hadn't played together yet. There was lots of room for improvement. Within weeks of training, the team started to gel. The team was a much stronger unit.

​Do you have any advice to give to the younger lads coming up?
I can recognise the talent coming up from the years below from their matches and successes. Fortunately, there's a continuity of skill in CBS. My advice to the lads is to get great encouragement and coaching from teachers. Train hard in school and with your clubs, listen to all the teachers and coaches, it’ll all pay off.

Géibheann
​

Ainmhí me
Ainmí allta
As na teochreasa
A bhfuil clú agus cáil
Ar mo scéimh
Chroithfinn crainnte na coille
Tráith
Le mo gháir
Ach anois
Luím síos
Agus breathnaím trí leathshúil
Ar an gcrann aonrac sin thall
Tagann na céadta daoine
Chuile lá
A dhéanfadh rud ar bith
Dom
Ach mé a ligean amach



Colscaradh
Shantaigh sé bean
I nead a chine
Faoiseamh is gean
Ar leac a thine  
Aiteas is greann
I dtógáil chlainne
Shantaigh sí fear
Is taobh den bhriste
Dídean is searc
Is leath den chíste
Saoire thar lear
Is meas na mílte
Thángthas ar réiteach
Scaradar.
