That is not swaying. That is the "lean". It is a Statesmen tradition. It is an expression of the group being unified in purpose and engaged in the music emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Lovely lovely job, gentlemen. I had the privilege of hearing the Rankins do this live in the 1990s. I'm sure John Morris Rankin would be pleased with both the arrangement and the performance. :-)
I saw this performed in Milaukee at the MENC. Possibly the same group. It was one of the most unforgettable musical experiences of my life. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. Too bad that this is the only recording on the internet. It doesn't do your performance justice.,,
I was in this group last semester and yes it was the same group. Even the composer was in attendance at Milwaukee! Contact me if you want the recording from Milwaukee.
Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed singing in this choir until I watched this video. Amazing. I'll never forget the unbelievable memories I've made in this group. You guys rock, keep it up!
wow, i didnt know any other school in the world had the same mascot as mine, statesmen
