School Bands Spectacular returns to Shannon Airport as local pupils entertain passengers


The event, which had been a tradition for seven consecutive years before the Covid-19 pandemic, saw school bands perform at the airport terminal
Over 160 primary school students from Clare and Limerick took to the stage at Shannon Airport for a musical school band spectacular that had passengers and staff on their toes in the terminal building.
Students from Ennis National School, St. Fiannachta’s National School, Sixmilebridge and Knockanean National School were joined by pupils from Milford National School in Limerick to kick-start the Easter holidays.
The event, which had been a tradition for seven consecutive years before the Covid-19 pandemic, saw school bands perform at the airport terminal.


“There’s always great excitement among the children when they arrive at Shannon Airport. It’s a fun day for us as much as it is for the students. This event is all about providing these talented children with an opportunity to play music for and with their peers, and it was wonderful to see so many passengers and guests enjoying the performances,” Mr Kearns added.
