Voicedance III-Hillcrest High School Concert Choir

[tbandhead1]

this is way to fast.......... it takes way from the phrasing it just sounds like a mesh of notes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and sounds like your tired in the way ee yah ya section where it repeats

[XxpandasrulexX]

Whoops, I meant fast, my bad!

[XxpandasrulexX]

Oh I meant fast not slow lol

[XxpandasrulexX]

We're singing this in our schools jazz choir! Ooh it is the one song that fills me with energy, makes me want to dance, makes me want to rejoice! I love it and you guys did it very well. I didn't expect it to be so slow lol but we're still learning. :) excellent! :)

@ZoneTenGirl. Just in case you didn't realize, this song does take us 3 minutes. Look at the time on the video :) You have to understand that this song is meant to be sung African style. When was the last time you heard Africans singing a joyful song slowly? Second, I want you to record your middle school choir singing this and then tell me that you sound amazing. Everyone sounds great in their own head. I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE SOUNDED INCREDIBLE!!!! Cause we're not. We had improvements to make.

isnt this a bit too fastt

[Kandyluvsu]

Oh my, the men's section is incredible! We are doing this song at my school and our men section is very small but their voices compensate for that. :)!

I was in this choir as a bass, trust me it's Voice Dance 3. I'm pretty dang sure that this song wasn't taken too fast. Dr. Brian Bentley wouldn't make that kind of mistake. He's been teaching choir for 23 years, I think he knows what he's doing. Miss you Dr. B

@skeggoms Sounds great! I'm looking at the music score now and your tempo is only barely faster (about 122 instead of the 112 suggested) which is not really an issue or noticable at all and totaly up to the director's decision. I think it makes the second half of the song sound even more intense so probably a better choice to be a bit fast than slow. And yes I am definitely procrastinating learning the song and just watching other choirs sing it on youtube :)

@skeggoms We're doing it this year in Concert Choir at Hopkins and this is the speed that were taking it Maybe al ittle slower but it hink were not up to speed yet

[POPWEE13]

holy shit .... taken way too fast

[ZoneTenGirl]

@POPWEE13 Yeah they are going too fast. Not even my choir class is singing this song that fast. We do sing it a little fast but not to the point its like "Come on guys, we need to finish singing this song in under 2 minutes." The choir I'm in at school takes us a good 3 or 4 minutes to sing this. We sing this at a speed that fits the song, and we do sound pretty amazing. The funny thing is though that my choir is a middle school choir and not a high school choir.

this is not voice dance 3. just telling you

[tartanmusician]

@101fanofTwilight Yeah it is...Unless every other video/sound clip I've seen/listened to today is also not Voice Dance III

[Nungael]

@101fanofTwilight yeeeeeeeeeah it is. I just performed it, and this is definitely voice dance 3

[ZoneTenGirl]

@101fanofTwilight This is Voice Dance III. My school is singing it for our Spring concert and even though our choir teacher changed the ending of it some, I know this song by heart. I can tell you it is defiantly Voice Dance III that they are singing.

[sirturd]

heh not bad. gotta right a report on you guys for our choir teacher

nice work :D

[RufioTTBar]

I still love this song so much - even the dufus' who couldn't sway quite right :D

[ProDigis]

LOL girls on the "Da dee ya da" part. OH MAN, dummies. "let's totally back off on that, and see what happens!" I can say this because I was a total screwup with this song...
