Killarney

<h3>It&#8217;s been three years since they hit the stage and the excitement for the Killarney Musical Society (KMS) children and teen members is almost explosive.</h3>
The youngsters had another fun-packed week of rehearsals as they prepare for their March production on the INEC stage.
 &#8220;As this is our first show in three years we have a completely new children&rsquo;s chorus but the eagerness and enthusiasm the boys and girls are showing makes them look like &lsquo;old pros&#8217;,&#8221; KMS PRO, Linda O&#8217;Donoghue, told the Killarney Advertiser.
 &#8220;Mary O&#8217;Callaghan our Cast Liaison said there is great attendance at all rehearsals. She is always on hand or at the end of a phone for all cast, young and old. She ensures everything runs smoothly for the cast. Last Sunday she made sure that some of the children had finished their numbers in time to make the Credit Union quiz in the Gleneagle Hotel.&#8221;
 Freya Griffin from Kilcummin who joined the children&rsquo;s chorus this year is having great fun. She loves the dancing rehearsals with Oliver Hurley and has made lots of new friends.
 &#8220;Her mom Caroline, who used to sing and dance when she was the same age, has bought her tickets for the show already. She can&rsquo;t wait to see Freya on the INEC stage.&#8221;
 Freya&rsquo;s neighbour Caoimhe Murray has been with KMS a number of years. She is in the teen&#8217;s chorus and thinks Oliver makes everything look so easy. They all have so much fun at rehearsals even on their first night back after the Christmas break when they mixed up all the dance moves and managed to confuse him! But in true Oliver style it was all sorted before they went home with no fuss.
 Caoimhe&rsquo;s mom Amanda, who is in the adult chorus and nan Phil who is in the KMS committee, are delighted Caoimhe is keeping the family tradition going along with her cousins.
 Freya and Caoimhe have no favourite numbers in this year&#8217;s production. They love them all. However, Naoise O&#8217;Connor from Fossa, who has been with KMS a number of years, loves &#8216;Mamma Mia&#8217;. She is in the teen chorus and can&rsquo;t wait to perform on the huge INEC stage again. She loves all the beautiful harmonies in &#8216;Godspell&#8217; and said Jimmy and Caoimhe are fantastic teachers. Her mom Peggy loves to hear her singing around the house and is looking forward to the big performance.
 &#8220;We have an amazing group of talented boys and girls this year, but don&rsquo;t take my word for it, come to the INEC Arena on March 7, 8, and 9 and see for yourself,&#8221; Mary O&#8217;Callaghan added.
