I would like to point out that Nykerk is not a formal choral competition. I am part of the 2014 song, and cheering is completely appropriate for Nykerk. We are not rednecks, the people clapping are being supportive. Some of the moves are tradition and Nykerk alumni who are watching cheer when a traditional move is performed to show their support. If you do not fully understand what Nykerk is, you should not criticize it. This is Nykerk in its finest and it is awesome to be a part of it.

Well done, but too bad the audience thinks this requires cheering as if it were a sporting event. The performers work too hard to be drowned out by wild screaming and whooping, which has no place at a concert like this. The director should lay down the ground rules at the beginning and establish a bit of audience etiquette.

@Dncrchk43 the vocals leave something to be desired?! Like you said, these girls had 3 weeks to prepare...They are completely awesome, they did a spot-on performance

Well Done! I'm not one for watching clips of class performances, but this one was executed with much cleverness.

As an alum of Hope it was great to see this! I love our fair college and the fantastic tradition of Nykerk. GO ODD YEAR!

@rachellenauta Now that I've learned that this was a competition, and not a concert, I stand corrected regarding my previous comments. My daughters all participated in chorus, and fortunately, etiquette points were announced at the beginning. Other concerts I've attended were ruined with boorish behavior. Seeing your point about this being a contest I applaud the group. I also think the performance would be well accepted in a formal concert as well. Good job to all

@brofga As A Hope College grad, I can tell you that cheering is part of the competition! The audience is encouraged to cheer throughout the song for parts they like. The competition is a long-standing Hope College tradition, and it is not really a concert. Audience etiquette calls for cheering!

@musicRachel09 I'm sorry, I meant no offense. I know not everyone in Nykerk is white I was just responding to another comment on the most common race of this choir
