@Bluekid239 Yeah, well if it'd been some professional choir performing something they'd practiced for months, it wouldn't be that great, but we only had a couple days to put it together, and if you have that many people, even being a tiny bit off sounds really noticeable.

@BargainBeauty365 2 days? Well that explains things. I hate it when they don't give you time to learn anything. Something similar happens with my school every summer. Our choir gets together and learns a (relatively) complicated song in about two hours, then goes home, comes back the next day and rehearses for 30 minutes before performing. Keep in mind, this is a high school choir! I apologize if I sounded insulting, I assumed you had time to practice, and I'd been through many poor results.

@Bluekid239 Or 13 schools. haha. I just counted them in the description box.

@Bluekid239 I was in this choir, and I just wanted to point out that we basically had 2 days to perfect this. We had gone over it in our respective choirs (this choir is a combination of 5-7 schools, from what I remember), but each director taught it differently, so when we all came together, we had two days to learn this, plus several other songs, for the performance.

I didn't think it was that bad...

The altos were a little hard to hear though

Not the best recording, but pretty good. Slightly more enjoyable instrumentation than the last video I saw, but much worse choir. Gosh, and that was a HIGH SCHOOL singing! Get the act together, choir, there's so much more potential in you! Be aggressive with your learning! Great vowels, though, at least from what I remember. I stopped paying attention after a few minutes xD

@lodekkald6b don't really need a view of the choir to enjoy the sound, do you? just scroll down and enjoy a look at the sparse landscape that is the comment section. =P

Couldn't you keep the camera still? It jerks around too much to enjoy the performance.
