[101javin]

I was here:p I saw this and was scared to death! PR did ok still made finals but bishop lures were amazing! Is this fest?

[jordimilton]

This choir was one of thee best in the state that year. im so glad i got to see it live. this is truly going down as a midwest show choir relic!

[fightkidfight]

This is SO amazing. I must have seen it 1,000 times already. :)

[kayleyxalissa]

I still can't believe I got to be apart of this amazing show choir production.

[MrJeffHinrichs]

I just cried while watching this. I was in a small mixed show chow choir, and seeing these young people do this with such talent is truely magical.

[2lizbit6]

this is fantastic! great job

[19Blaire]

The male soloist is kristopher andorfer..he choreagraphed one of my show choirs songs: ) he is amazing i get chills everytime i listen to this: )

[bredearest]

Best ballad of 2010. I still come back and watch it all the time. SO glad I got to see this live.. twice. (:

[Booman0992]

[danasaur4]

I <3 Luers can't wait to go there!!!!! :)

[dmpippert94]

And where did you find the sheet music for the band

[dmpippert94]

The galadriel part is done very well, the chorus was great, the legolas part was good, but it occasionally felt too loud and harsh for the part, but if that was the direction, then go ahead.

[fightkidfight]

The WHOLE entire song was too amazing for words. The end made me cry!!! BEAUTIFUL.

[Amocktus]

Wow..that was painful to watch. I'm a huge fan of this song but the beginning was terrible.

[jsmith5011]

wonderful soloist! beautiful tone

be careful on the higher notes mix mix mix your voice

guys - match the focused tone of the soloist all the time

do not fabricate your sound

great female soloist

choir - blend your sound many voices sticking out

match the tone quality of your soloists if you are going to sing behind them

the two soloists MUST blend

this number was overall very nice i feel that it was too much solo and didn't showcase the choir very much, but wonderful solists

[GothicBeauty78]

ive met the male soloist, hes my choir teachers nefew and hes a amazing dance and singer.! (:

[Optiquest01]

LIstening to that girl just made me cry!!!!:'(that was one of the most beautiful voices i have ever heard!

[zdog37]

So good!

[gabbyhorse13]

i love this song and the female soloist was fantastic!! i wish i had been there in person!

[Skyewalker15]

I was at this performance and I have to say this is the second song that has ever moved me to tears. In the audience it was practically life changing. The way the two leads looked and sounded...especially when they reached toward each other...it gives me shivers just to mention it.

[MSam2]

Commendable effort with the chorus - even though it sounds like she was nervous the lead female is seriously talented. The guy was...aggressive and kinda flat. I skipped to the female solo after a couple of seconds.

[xMsLissx]

I loved this! But to be honest, I like it more when the male part is sung a little more... soft... This was too much 'hear me! I'm a powerhouse!' for my taste. It was still amazing though!

[goldensplash910]

I loved your performance. I go to Pike in Indianapolis and I was talking about your performance for a long time, Well, I STILL am. It was amazing!

I can't wait to see what you all do next year!

[musiclover3176]

I love this song so much! The male soloist has so much power and emotion and the female soloist has so much control! Gah! Beautiful!

[ThelilFool]

thanku! this is my favorite song. i saw the final performance of it in london and have been dying to hear "lothlorien" dont again

the female was amazing at the end

[aliceluvzjazzcullen4]

even just seeing the video gives me chills! Amazing!

[baseballfreak619]

Hey I'm from Findlay First Edition (FFE) in FIndlay, OH. You guys had an amazing year this year and I'm so glad we didn't compete against you this year XD

[evanrude2053]

YEAH MINSTROSITY!!

[PrimaDonna081191]

5,627 views!! It deserves twice that!!! :]

[Curlytop96503]

Kris is an amazing singer with a huge range. He can easily hit those notes through the whole song, but he's trying to convey the song, which is a powerful song, not a whimpy falsetto song. He killed it. So did Hannah. Both are amazing.

[dmpippert94]

@Curlytop96503 While I do agree that the male soloist is very talented, just because this is a "powerful" song does not mean that parts need to be shouted, there can be power at a lower sound level. Also, even though he is a very talented vocalist, he did not blend very well with the rest of the chorus, or maybe they didn't blend well with him. However, the chorus and the soloists were both performed the song well.

[nattywhack]

This was my favorite, the soloists still blow me away.

[classicconnection]

You guys really did do great, you were fun to compete against at state. Can't wait to do it again next year.

[Drodster56]

this is great but id go watch totinos ballad

[prgacusa]

@Drodster56 Well that's kind of rude isn't it.

[ChewieIsMyLover]

Oh my God!!!!!!!! That can only be decribed as EPIC!!!!

[thechoircritic]

the entire design from the soloists, risers, costumes, and band is so extravagant. male soloist has such projection and expresses himself brilliantly. The female soloist is absolutely beautiful and represents her part perfectly. Overall the entire choir and combo holds a powerful volume of expression and shows it in this performance.

[Itsumopuppy]

saw them a couple times, they came to our competition and we to theirs...amazing!!!

[musicmanson]

Female soloist= Best soloist ever.

[PrimaDonna081191]

I cannot stop playing this video and singing along....it's embarrassing! haha

[murphym1776]

I love the song, but was not too impressed with the male soloist. But, like I said phenomenal song and pretty good comstumes, loved you guys in person!

[musicmanson]

I did think he shouted. But he did convey the message of the song well. But the fact that he resembles Taylor Lautner doesn't help. Lol.

[EnglandR3991]

Best ballad of 2010.

[ylime133]

i watched you in Orlando and was blow away by that male soloist! fantasic job :)

[PrimaDonna081191]

the solos are amazing

the costumes are amazing

I LOVE BISHOP LEURS!!!

Mooresville's Spotlighters talk about you all the time. We are obsessed with this song. I can practically sing along now! haha

[taberz12]

[2012bengals]

[BellesetBeauxDad]

You kids from Bishop Luers are amazing! Saw you twice this season and was blown away by your talent. The Lothhlorien performance is especially moving.

[SurryHio]

this is the weirdest thing i've ever seen.

[countrygirl201]

Love

Love

[zeinonbroadway]

I get chills every time I hear this. Congrats Luers. =)

[captainhuggyface]

please dont take it offf! I'm absolutely in love with the way this choir does the song. I WILL DIE if it gets taken off.

[littlejaybird1]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! thts all i can say.. I saw this at Findlay and was blown away.... The rest of their show is also amazing!!!!

[ZacharyCort]

This whole show was AMAZING at Findlay FEst!

[LaKeshiaCassandra]

Absolutley ahhmazing especially in person. Awesome awesome job

[mert16]

Just saw this at bishop luers before finals and in finals. Holy. Cow. Chills chills like crazy. I could listen to her sing that a million times. No kidding around in this entire show. Every single number was phenomenal in this show and I never got bored with it. Congrats on an incredible show this year.

[jordimilton]

gotta get my comment in before the video gets taken down. haha. this whole show was absolutely marvelous. all smiles watching it from beginning to end. cold chills on the ballad. a very fun guys and girls number. very beautiful.

[pianoman012688]

The only thing I can really say is that, for a choir with an amazing sound as a group, You kind of wasted the ballad on these 2 soloists. That being said, the 2 soloists that you picked are absolutely PERFECT! I loved your show at Ben Davis, it just doesn't quite have the visual needed to really be a powerhouse here. Can't wait to see what you do in the years to come!

[LuersMinstrels10]

While BLHS appreciates the attention and positive response to this video, we ask that you please take it off youtube. We have a special agreement with the producers of the musical and this post breaks the rules of youtube. Thank you for your cooperation! GO MINSTRELS!!

[0reos64]

I can't belive there is a Lord of the Rings Musical... That's so cool though! This sounds amazing, wish I would have gotten to see them at Findlay Fest, but I couldn't due to timing. Nest week I will get to see them, i'm looking forward to it!

[TheBakert]

we just went to the Mooresville Invitational and you won the Grand Champion in the Championship division. You guys did amazing especially in this song. It gave us all cold chills. the soloists are amazing especially Hannah Schindler. AMAZING!

[sunstar619]

Absolutely amazing!!!!

[thomasracing66]

unbelieveable in person!! I preformed right before them in night show at Ben davis and myself and a friend ran to get in just to watch this ballad.. Met the soloest and I couldn't praise her enough. This is beautiful everytime. I can't get enough!

[MarinLemche]

This is a duet between Galadriel and Legolas from Lord of the Rings, the Musical, which I was most fortunate to see in London 2 years ago! It's a beautiful stage show, and if you ever get the chance to see it, you most definitely should!

This is a wonderful interpretation of the song, and the soloists are phenomenal...must get this sheet music!

[codexblue13]

What's this song from? and it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

[TimoneandPuumba]

Lord of the Rings Musical.

[prgacusa]

The Lord of the Rings Musical only performed in Europe. I think

[TheatreFan4]

@prgacusa It also played in Toronto Canada.

[KTandT]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you SO much for doing this song! I don't get to see you guys b/c I'm an alum and we never competed against you back then, so THANK YOU to whoever put this up as well.

[prgacusa]

I was so glad i saw this live! Kris and Hannah you guys are awesome!

[VolleeBaller94]

That was unbelieveable. I'm basically speechless.
