GHS Choir Spring Concert 2009 - "Sweeney Todd"

[LittleMissBOOM212]

loved it, although the solo's werent so appetising :L

[TheSleepyPeeps]

Sweeney Todd isn't much of a choir based show.....so.....

[xxIreneCaffeine]

The choreography is definitely awkward. Sondheim songs are definitely tough though, so I can't even criticize. I'm about to go to an audition with By the Sea as my song; that's how I stumbled upon this video. So we'll see. ;p

[Phanatic12009]

i actually enjoyed it. Not while im around actually brought a tear to my eye. I love that song. but how old r these kids? They dont look old enough to actually watch Sweeney Todd.

[GimmeYourCookies]

@Phanatic12009 Most of them are around 16 or 17.

[LoveAltonTowers]

@Phanatic12009 no pays attention to age certificets at home lol but umm... and yeas im niot fond of that sonsg as i had to sings it all this week in a production i was in! :L but other wise is a lovely song for peopel to hear :)

[psylidee]

@Phanatic12009 they're high school students

[missrowanb2009]

it's quite good, but the choreography ruins it, worst pies in london is better in alto in my opinion, rather that with more soprano, the boy with the solo in johanna is too low, and in my opinion he sang it a bit rough, i think its better sounding a little sweeter, by the sea is a bit slow and the girl with the solo isnt holding it quite long enough, greenfinch and linnetbird is a too fast, and the boy soloist in not while i'm around isnt a very good singer in my opinion. but otherwise its great

[MegaTheRandoms23]

my chorus has 76 peps in it

[GimmeYourCookies]

@MegaTheRandoms23 oh wow that's awesome!

[MegaTheRandoms23]

@GimmeYourCookies  yahh but sometimes its confusing with lots of people

[GimmeYourCookies]

@MegaTheRandoms23 I bet, but I'm sure the performance will be awesome with that many people!

[iSwampMonster]

These are hard songs, I think they did great

[GimmeYourCookies]

@iSwampMonster yay ^^

[porcelaindolluv]

dude this so AWESOME!!!!!!

[GimmeYourCookies]

@porcelaindolluv Aww thanks (:

[hatboo98]

you guys suck

[GimmeYourCookies]

@hatboo98 thanks! yay for not being constructive!

[hanahhstorm4279]

if you want real comments that actually are the truth then to be honest this was really bad..you did good and a few parts but pretty much you ruined this song. My choir did this same song last year and we are only a 20 person choir and it was way better but i mean good try!(: i really dont know how soloist got that solo...anyways uhhh great job trying!

[GimmeYourCookies]

@hanahhstorm4279 I appreciate your honesty and i agree with you. It was kinda bad due to lack of practice

[hanahhstorm4279]

well i forgot how long we practiced ours but i think it was about 5 weeks

[Cbabies24]

well you butcherd this... congrats

[GimmeYourCookies]

@Cbabies24 I did what?

[h193013]

the two who sang Not While I'm Around have great chemisty, they should go out

[GimmeYourCookies]

@h193013 LOLOL!!!!

[Dhoddy92]

The altos need to work harder you guys arnt hitting the right notes sometimes or being loud enough, it's a little rushed as you guys didn't listen to the piano cd or not you should always be in time with the accompaniment. I know I isn't eat as I'm doing it with my class mates but still. Goo effort maybe just put in some more practicing time.

[GimmeYourCookies]

@Dhoddy92 You're so right! They should have practiced more!

[hiair]

The male singers spoiled the enchantment of this piece!!!

[GimmeYourCookies]

@hiair lolololol they needed more practice...

[musicmad123]

oh this is a nice arrangement! i likes

[darkstar3472]

Glendale high school?

[GimmeYourCookies]

@darkstar3472 Gabrielino High School (:

[BaccioDiMaschera]

DDDDDDDDD:

[acwmudwalljackson]

the male vocals are strong in some parts but others are really pinched and nasally.... good effort

the choreography seems really middle schoolish

[GimmeYourCookies]

@acwmudwalljackson A for effort! Lol XD jk

[Prettyraveboi420]

the choreography made me LOL. if its gonna be half assed why do it at all?

[GimmeYourCookies]

@Prettyraveboi420 hey. at least you lol-ed.

[xxryroluvxx]

Definately needs more practice, but i have to give them credit, this isn't the easiest medly to sing. Love the beginning, too. With a little more work (and stronger consideration for soloists) I'm sure it could have been awesome. Gotta admire the spirit

[GimmeYourCookies]

@xxryroluvxx completely agree (:

[GimmeYourCookies]

@TheHaterGirlz I don't think they had more then about a month to get ready for it.

[TheHaterGirlz]

@GimmeYourCookies Well not my prob.

[xMaRRiiax]

to fast !! we sang it in choir, too . and your solos are bad ! and this choir isn't good

greeze from Germany

[apollman5]

@xMaRRiiax they are doing it along with a CD so they matched the vocals to the tempo on the CD. I know this because my choir is doing the same thing and I think it is also to fast

[eaglestep]

too fast....so...bad.....

[1037pm]

This wasn't good at all.

This choir needs a LOT of work.

Admire the passion though

[chipkittyx]

This was a great idea!

It's true that some of it was off but a lot of work must have gone into it

I wish my chorus would do this medley

....

Maybe I'll send it to my teacher now lol

[GimmeYourCookies]

Well i hope your teacher approves it and let you guys perform!

[ScaryTeri101]

Wow.The music is horrible.The voices are too high..Utterly horrid

[GimmeYourCookies]

Harsh, but i can see where you're coming from. They could have done better with more practice.

[ScaryTeri101]

Lol, I am somewhat annoyed because Sweeney Todd is my favorite play and I dont like to see it preformed badly lol[or just the songs]

[GimmeYourCookies]

@ScaryTeri101 I know that feeling! sorry for the annoyance :\

[bleedingheart55]

i'm sorry, but... lol wtf? i liked it all... but it was weird to me when the girl came out dancing lol...

[by they sea... sorry... she kind of sucked at that, but it was a performance, so she was probably just nervous]

[LolitaLexi]

Oh my god the soloist in by the sea made me cringe, in green finch and linnet bird i almost cried my ears hurt so much! I was interesting how they moved around, but the moves could have been better

[GimmeYourCookies]

@LolitaLexi lol srry to hear that. they could have done better with more practice.

[harperhelen]

2:18 yum

[iluvfraser]

by the sea was performed crappily. whoever started singing cant sing.

[swirlygirly1234]

the soloist CANT sing but the perfoance is pretty good :)

[MewIchigolove]

he's a tenor in the group i was at the performance helping backstage and lobby

[TheKGCGirls]

were doing this song this year tooo and we need ideas were an advanced choir and we might do this song at the disney land!!!!

[GimmeYourCookies]

Wooh! DISNEYLAND!

[kaighnyne]

@GimmeYourCookies tell me the birds are paper mache, i won't care. i'll live at...disneyland...

lol performance was okay. some issues with tempo and harmonies but okay nonetheless.

[claydobob]

not done very professionally. not impressed

[IEatYourBabies4]

Where are youu? :D

[mrspresley18]

we are doing this song too...this year =]

[GimmeYourCookies]

Thats awesome! I hope you guys have a fun time performing! :D

[swirlygirly1234]

lucky!!!

[RecycleMeRacheltm]

the singing is awesome!

the choreography on the other hand is pretty lame.

But that's understandable cause most show choir moves are lame lol

I remember our show choir dances were horrible! lol

[GimmeYourCookies]

haha lame but entertaining!

[auqablue400]

VERY lame moves. Im my schools chior, we dont even move. We just stand there, lmao.

[SexyHokage25]

cool

[disneypirate27]

the boys' voices are too high. compare it to the musical version. i mean the singing is great but idk. and no more hand motions!!

[hyugabob]

mhm.... the musical was suprisingly LOW, iheard it, and thought, wow.... dont hear those notes too often in musicals.

[xoxlewrahxox]

I luv the singing! Amazing :)

[onlyhalfmonkey]

did anyone get smacked in the face in the beginning?

[GimmeYourCookies]

HAHAHAHA . yeah. some people did. XD

[itsitchynose]

Yes. I was in this choir and I got smacked several times during rehearsals and even during the performance.. lol.

[cookyuki]

love the arrangement

lovely medley

but the singing is only ok

solos are a bit disappointing

[onlyhalfmonkey]

i enjoy the singing. they make our high school show choir look like amateurs. i think anyway

[xochelsea08]

@cookyuki They should have spent more time rehearsing the song than the moves. It would have been much better.

[GodofChaos45]

my favorite musical.

[thisismag]

amazing how we're all almost always together o_o thanks4recording! :)

[GimmeYourCookies]

Np! :D

[angelshirahime]

D:!!!

...I think I can hear you go "aww" at Ha's and Ivan's duet. xD

[navinuc]

aww didnt have my part in the end =[

[GimmeYourCookies]

Sorry, my camera just stopped recording D:

[blue5343]
