My Wave is composed by Anastasia Marchuk and Polina Pavlyushchenko. The arrangement is by Pavel Osipenko.

Unity win for Netherlands

After a turbulent day in the Netherlands selection process; despite being a member short this evening, Unity won the Netherlands Junior selection contest and will represent their country in Warsaw.

Hours before the contest was due to take place at the Ahoy arena, it was announced that participants Robin and Demi from Unity had tested positive for Covid-19 and would therefore be unable to complete.

For fan favourite Robin, this meant withdrawing from the competition, while Unity performed with the remaining 3 members who went on to win.

Further Covid related issues notwithstanding, Demi will rejoin the rest of the girls to perform their song ‘BestFriends’ for the final in November.
