b'The ArtsWoodard School ChoirsSome of the 30,000 children at Woodard Schools across the UK sang at Shrewsbury Abbey and St Oswald\'s Chapel at Ellesmere College. The group was based at Ellesmere College for rehearsals from October 6 before performing over the weekend. The idea was to gather singers from across the country to learn choral repertoire, perform in a liturgical context and take lessons back to their respective schools. Tony Coupe, Director of Music at Ellesmere College, said: "We are very excited to be able to have put on the Voices of Woodard event for children from five Woodard schools in the UK.""It is the first time we have hosted this event and we are sure it is going to be an educational and engaging weekend. The group will be fused together in a limited amount of rehearsal time before putting on performances to friends, family and the public in historic locations which offer a great opportunity to enhance acoustics and benefit the choir\'s sound. We are sure they are going to achieve a lot in the short time they will be together and we know the performances will be of a very high standard. It will be a great lesson in learning together and then repeating that in a performance before taking lessons back to their prospective schools."
