Notre Dame Prep juniors Sarah Ringwood and Anna Watson posted a couple of YouTube videos showing them covering popular songs by Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons. The videos have enjoyed relatively strong viewership and one member of Notre Dame's faculty is especially impressed.
"When Anna and Sarah auditioned last summer for our annual Concert on the Hill here at NDP, they sang the song "Payphone" by Maroon 5," choir director Dave Fazzini said. "I was so impressed with them that I suggested they should come in and let me record their rendition of the song for a YouTube posting.".
Fazzini recorded the performance and since it was posted to YouTube, it has had over 3,000 views, which is pretty good for an amateur song without any promotion or publicity. "Earlier this week. we recorded and released their second song, 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons and already it has over 300 hits," Fazzini said.
Ringwood and Watson also are members of the Notre Dame Prep choir program.
