It sounds good! Though pay attention to the dynamics. They're very precise and you can't afford not to stick to them. And put in some accents, get the bounce of this piece!
I'll be the first to admit, I don't like vibrato in most choral music, this piece included. However-- stylistic differences aside, nicely done. I like this tempo much more than most I've seen/heard. I don't know why everyone thinks this piece has to be blazingly fast to be performed correctly. I'm curious as to why the director used such a drastic fermata in the those last few measures, but like I said, just a difference in stylistic interpretation.
Ugh, this is one of the audition pieces for IMEA and Section D is so freaking hard for the bass line. Weird counting. Loved your rendition of it though.
My choir performed this song before, and faster too. I think you guys got all the notes right...but You guys could have done better by paying attention to the dynamics of that song. It'll definitely add to the effect of the song. :-)

Very nice but the not using the piano would have made it a whole lot better. And I think that the tempo you took it at was a little fast...

Very nice, and a difficult piece.

The high school choir I sing in is singing this. It's such a fun song! This is a lovely performance.

my choir is learning this right now.
Very good job!!
It would have probably been better if you did not use the piano, though.

Nice job! My choir is learning this. You probably could've done without the piano.

Loved performing this song at all-state 2006.
Great song and is very hard when you do it at the intended speed and without a piano...

Wow, our Chamber choir is the pride of our school...and I am soooo jealous!! ^_^ That was amazing, and I've heard that song preformed many times!

Believe it or not, but my choir is actually performing this song even faster than the timing on this recording (which isn't too bad, I should add).
