St Mary's and Edenderry Primary Schools go head to head in a Lip Sync Battle extravaganza!
On Friday 19 May, the Belmont Hotel in Banbridge will host the much anticipated Lip Sync Battle.
This is a charity event in memory of our dear friend and colleague, Mechelle Harshaw. Unfortunately, Mechelle lost her battle with cancer in September 2016. Both school communities were devastated to lose such a special person. Mechelle was an active member of The Friends of Edenderry PTA, so both schools decided to collaborate and organise a cross community event in her memory. All proceeds from the night will be donated to Daisy Lodge, Newcastle - a purpose built respite facility to support families touched by cancer. This charity provided care and support to Mechelle and her family.
The night will commence at 7.30p.m. Please note, admission by ticket only. Tickets should be purchased in advance. Ticket prices: adult £7, child £4, family of four £20. There will be limited availability. Performing acts will be allocated a maximum of four tickets per child. Remaining tickets will be issued from the school office on a first come first serve basis.
Local hair dressing salon, L’il Miss Colour, has kindly sponsored the event and will style the hair of those performing in the Lip Sync Battle. Children will be informed of their allocated hair appointments nearer the time. Rehearsals are continuing in school. There will be final dress rehearsals in the Belmont Hotel the week of the event.
There will be a raffle and an auction during the interval when both school choirs will perform a selection of Mechelle’s favourite songs.
Our school is very excited to be part of this special event. We look forward to welcoming you all on the night.
