done to Joseph Hogan, Sean Hogan, Lucy Forte, Leah Curran, Johanna Wickham, Sadhbh Kirwan,
Shauna Dunne, Grace Donavan and Shonagh Spratt Murphy who took part in the National Final
of the Variety Show in Maynooth on Saturday 14th March. Although there was disappointment
on the day as the winner's prize stayed out of reach, all of the participants were
fantastic and added immensely to the entertainment and enjoyment of the competition. Bree did take 1st place in the National
Banner Competition and credit must go to Emma O'Neill and Marie Parker who put in the hard
work creating the banner. Thank you to Michelle Hogan and Cait Doyle who choreographed the
"Thriller" Showdance and Chloe Forte whose make up expertise turned the girls
into convincing zombies. Thanks also to all leaders and parents for all their help. On
Friday 20th March 55 senior members and 6 leaders travelled to the Barntown disco which
was held in Clonard Community Centre. It was a pleasure to accompany such well behaved
young people. All are a credit to their families and community. The Junior Variety Show

week, at 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays in Bree Community Centre.
