We are doing this song for our midwinter concert this year. Good job! Good diction, it seemed at bit rushed at one part but maybe that is just me messing up the song in my head because I just started learning it today. But yeah, awesome job!
my chorus class is supposed to learn this song and we are middle school kids, 6 to 8th grade. im sure we wont be anywhere near as good as the people in this vid but whatever, we only have 2 guys.
after listening to several of the different postings on here, I believe this group is the better one.. they also seemed to be having a bit more fun with it then some of the other choirs who looked like statues singing....
LOVE THIS SONG WE USE TO SING IT BACK IN GRADE SCHOOL 93' 94 '95 IN CHOIR FOR THE JANE ADDAMS ELEMENTRY SCHOOL, THANKS MR.GRIMES I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS SONG AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!!!!!!!!
love this song we use to sing it in back in grade school 93' 94' 95' JANE ADDAMS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN DAYTON, OHIO.. THANKS MR.GRIMES HE WAS AN AMAZING TEACHER!!!
Your good at singing and.........................I've never heard the song (now I'm going have people commenting me back saying oh you blahblah who odnt you know this so...)
this was ok my hs choir did this back in 09 and i sung the ending solo it was awsome!!!!! the soloist needed to put more on it he was singing it like it was a love song and not a warning!!!!
lol i love this song so much! my school is a public school and we are still able to sing this beautiful fun song! im so glad because im in the soprano part and thats about the most funnest part in the whole choir.. i love this song and its so easy to sing and have fun in choir now
wow, haha, this is great i love it! i love the guy's part! and the soloist is AMAZING! i remember this song from a hs singing this to us in elementary school a kazillion years ago
As i'm back in school, this is one of our songs we'll be singing for our middle school choir. Though I wish the guys in our class would be more like the ones in here(me and another guy do most of the singing)
@coolperson1145 yea same here... In my section in the choir i am basically the only one singing... I have a great voice ill admit but we need more people singing then just me and for this song how can u not sing?! lol
@Raven3424 Oh, so many of us know how you feel... I'm a low alto, can sing tenor, but whatever... There are 5 altos that sing, the rest sing the soprano. The sopranos sing soprano, the tenors don't sing, and our basses are out of key except for one. Its horrible.
Oh my gosh I LOVE this song! I went to a concert a while back and a choir from Michigan came all the way to Cali to sing, and damn they were amazing, especially the soloist! Too bad my school is public, I would have loved to sing this song.
I have watched many of these, and this one runs in a dead head TIE with the one by Chuckinator that won the award for Best Performance by a Large Choir. The other one is more natural, but this one is darn near perfect, percussion and all. Randy Stonehill is proud, as is Jesus, I'm sure.
if only it had a little more soul
