The incredible contribution of the music department to our Olympic Games As we told you on our last post, on April 6th our first Olympic Games' opening ceremony was held, although we aren't going to repeat all of that!

Day 1, Sierra Sur Olympic Games   Yesterday, the sixth of April 2022, our Olympic Games began for all the students of Obligatory Secondary Education level. This day was divided into four parts: preparation meetings for the students, parades, opening speech, individual sports. Our meetings took place at 9:15 am during de second period; there, we were informed about how the whole event was going to be realized. Right after that, we were given a time to have our breakfast, as at 11 am the parades were going to start. On it, all members of the different continents, including the Olympic mascot (created by our high school Guidance Department) exhibited themselves to the rhythm of their own hymns (composed in the music class) and accompanied by their respective flags (designed by the students of Art of 2nd level and brought to reality by the wonderful people of 4th level).
