ETC All Americans from Akron Ohio performing "Raindrops Will Fall/I Made It Through The Rain" at the Wapakoneta Show Choir Invitational in Wapakoneta, Ohio.
Directed by: Cheryl Boigegrain Choreographer: Mike Weaver
I don't think this song is suited for choirs...I have yet to hear a version that actually does the song justice....It's supposed to be soulful and bold. Not robotic and engineered note by note...
I found this to be so square, I suspect it has corners. What with their rather decent choral tone, I believe they're much better musicians than this exemplified - really, loosen up!
ummmm... no doubt yall are great singers... but this is a gospel/r&b type song... not supposed to be sung THIS chorally... it sounds... to formal and somewhat less inspirational...but if yall were singing a song like "one voice" or "for the beauty of the earth"... but im not hating... i think yall are still amazing vocalists, just not suited to the song... so kudos
you are quite right. he doesnt deviate from his style much. (at least last time ive heard of him. its been quite a long while)

I never said he did the arrangement, I know he didn't. Just pointing out that his groups do a lot of the same songs.

mike weaver was the choreographer not the musical arranger... i think this was a ron jones arrangement maybe thats what you heard?
