"Elijah Rock" arr. Moses Hogan | Northwestern High School Concert Choir

The Northwestern High School Concert Choir from Hyattsville, Maryland, under the direction of Ms. Leona Lowery, perform this challenging Moses G. Hogan arrangement at the 2002 Prince George's County Public Schools' High School Chorus Festival held at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland, College Park. We received straight "Superior" ratings that year as well as 1st Place and Grand Championship honors at a national choir competition in New Orleans, LA.

**My apologies for the video/sound quality issues. This performance was ripped from an old VHS tape.**

I can deal with this... couple suggestions... Round your tones and look alive on stage...

@0JVonte9 As specified in this video, I do hope you're aware this video was filmed over ten years ago. These people are grown with children, families, and careers of their own, now; so your comment is kind of moot. But the remark is appreciated, nonetheless.

[0JVonte9]

@XtremeMind84 Yea... I can see that... Somehow the Lord blessed me with Good sense and Vision... 20/20 if I do say so myself... If the suggestions were executed in this 10-15 year old vid, in which they did use these suggested techniques at that time, it would've been 10 times better.. ijs and you're very welcome.

@0JVonte9 Then I'm scratching my head trying to find the relevance in your comment. It would be tantamount to me critiquing Michael Jackson's "Thriller," and mentioning what they could do to make live versions 'better' and the guy is dead and the song is 30 years old. You see the fail in that?

BTW, ever heard of Linda Hall or Samuel Bonds? They are two of the most highly decorated choral directors, in the nation (Google them). This choir was rated 'Superior' by both, for this performance.
