After all the planning, it was finally here..

So for the past few months me along with the 5 other members of our school bank 'Super Euro's' have been planning our official bank launch. I think its an understatement to say we've had so many mixed emotions over the past few weeks - excitement, nerves, stress and so much more... Its been crazy!
We spent so much time getting in contact with people to launch our bank and entertainment and well, it all came together today :D
We got Kildare football captain Johnny Doyle to launch our bank and The Original Rudeboys to entertain everyone :D
You could only go to launch if you joined our bank or lodged money with us, so for the past few days its been mad with so many people coming to us with forms and money! Even this morning we had so much to do, like giving out invitations, setting up the hall, sorting out the food and the running order of the launch.

At around half 11 the Original Rudeboys manager arrived and began to set up the sound system and everything. It was all happening so fast it was hard to keep up but before we knew it another sound guy had arrived and then the band arrived :D They were so lovely and we got pictures with them for the newspapers before everyone arrived :) They then went through sound check which was great because it was like a personal concert just for us! :)

We began the launch with Johnny Doyle cutting the ribbon and saying a few words :) Then The Original Rudeboys played six songs and really got the crowd going! They were amazing, they're gonna make it so big! Once they'd stopped playing they signed autographs for everyone and when all the students went back to class Kildare TV did an interview with them and also one with Johnny Doyle. The ORB's waited a little bit longer just chatting with us and having the 'BANKter' as us bankers would say ;) hahaha

It was such a great day and there was such a great buzz around the school.
Being part of the bank is one of the best things I've done in TY and I'm so glad in part of it :) Huge well done to my bank team Caitriona, Aoife, Sarah, Fiona and Elizabeth! Go super Euros wooo :D
Bring on the regionals in two weeks time!
Heres some pictures from the event! Thanks to Lana for taking these :)
