The Music Department has had a very successful start to 2024. The MCS choir which consists of approximately 120 students, entered into an online competition before Christmas.<\/p>\n
With a prize fund of \u20ac10,000 up for grabs, SPAR launched a school\u2019s choir competition encouraging schools across the country to check out a karaoke style version of the TV ad on the brand\u2019s YouTube channel. Equipped with lyrics and a karaoke bouncing-ball, the video made it simple for budding choirs to learn and deliver the lyrics. 10 winning schools were selected from the hundreds of\u00a0 entries and have received \u20ac1,000 each.<\/p>\n
MCS choir was one of these winning schools. Their entry was unique as they didn\u2019t use the Karaoke track . Students provided the Instrumental accompaniment.<\/p>\n
