Wardle Academy at the Music Festival

Last month, Wardle Academy’s Choir performed at the Rochdale Music Festival. They performed over two days, with solo and duet performances taking place on Thursday 13 March and the choir performing as a whole on Friday 14 March.

For the solo and duet performances, students chose a variety of songs with Charlotte Collins, Year 7, performing first in the Year 7-9 Vocal Solo section. Charlotte sang Wings by Little Mix, which was followed by Ailsa Wilson, Year 9, singing Titanium by David Guetta.

In the Year 7-9 Vocal Duet section Holly Cassell and Megan Doney, both Year 8, sang Love Story by Taylor Swift.

Megan Callaghan, Year 10, sang Keep the Home Fires Burning (WW1 song) for the Year 10-11 Vocal Solo section, winning second place. Megan then went on to sing a duet with Ailsa for the Year 10-11 Vocal Duet section singing Forever and Always by Taylor Swift.

On Friday 14 March, it was the Choir’s turn to perform and they sang two a cappella songs: Ave Maria by Kodaly and Keep the Home Fires Burning. The choir, unfortunately, didn’t win but they gave a great performance and had a great time.
