[idance892]

Men's choir at my school is singing this at our school tomorrow for our concert. Today the girls finally got to hear the entire thing. We take it a bit faster than this version, but it still sounds amazing. Our soloist is pure perfection.

[LeeTaeRyeo]

@TaigaToraDora My choir is also doing this piece and we are also doing it much faster. This version is probably around 90-100 bpm and we will be performing it at around 105-115 bpm.

Just makes it a bit more fun! :)

Nice pitches tho...
