These are some of my friends singing Prayer of the Children at Winterfest. (From the left: Jeremy, Brian, Micah, and Aaron). Their performance totally blew everyone away, it was amazing!!! I didn't even know they could sing so well! O_O
Edit: I recently talked to Brian, and he said that their group name is "Men 4 Praise".
I feel you guys were great !God Bless

the biggest thing i think yall can do to make this an A-plus song is to be expressive. sounding like human metronomes isnt the biggest turn-on. try to think more of a lyrical phrase and try to connect the notes otherwise it will sound like youre spitting notes at the audience. the biggest culprit is the first tenor. but great tuning! :D keep working!

this piece go too fast or any pieces in general, especially this piece, this should be done so people can enjoy the harmonies and strong notes. otherwise there are alot of good things like strong volume but maybe should be a little quieter in some parts one more thing is to make the biggest part of the song shine brightly, (the ooh part) otherwise like i said it was good but just minor fixes

hello, this is one of my first comments ive had to write in a while and first i would like to say that you did a pretty good job of this. there are some things i see you can do to make it better (this is from a person that has done this song and knows that yours can be better) anyways first of all, the one big thing i see wrong is that it doesnt seem you feel the piece in others words it looks like your just singing it and not knowing what the words mean. the second main thing is blending and

Great job, guys! I hope that when I get a job teaching music after I graduate (may 2008), I can be lucky enough to have some guys that are willing to sing so well!

I really enjoyed this. I love barber shop.:-) Also, congratulations on your perfect at state.
Having said that, once in a while your tenor sticks out over the rest of the group. Also, don't ever... EVER scoop in this song. It just doesn't fit.
Hopefully you won't see this as an attack, but as constructive criticism.
