Only one word can describe this performace. PERFECT!

[@elgahim]

wow this is mad good

[@DellDude629]

INCREDIBLE!!!!! especially for 20 kids!!! Marvelous job...absolutely marvelous! Great bright tone from the girls. Would have liked the guys' "ha...ha..ha....ha ooo" to have had more of a deeper bass timber, but hey......that's nitpicking. FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE!!!!!! The rhythms at the end were spot on!!!! (and loved the improvised sounds at the end too!!)

random find, youtube suggestion and I'm glad I found it. Amazing performance, very strong men's section and everyone's tone color blended wonderfully through every part of the piece.

I sang this not too long ago with a choir - such a fun song to sing!!!!!! It was for sure my favourite!

[@singingfreak525]

I sang this in middle school, and its still my favorite song of all I've done. We had this gigantic group, and we sang so loudly people could hear us on the other side of the high school.
This group sounds great!
(Stephen Hatfield is amazing! I got to have him as a director once and it was so much fun.)

[@CENTRALISLIPCONCERTCHOIR]

Amazing for the size of the group! Fantastic!! I love it.

[@pnoga35]

I always get chills at the end. They are that good.

[@satBASS]

[@mzv219]

my school is doing this song for our May concert... this performance is amazing! i hope we can get it to be even half as good as thiS

[@YumiTootz]

I go to Truman, and I'm aspiring to pass auditions in this choir ;)

[@lleapingllamas886]

we did this in our spring concert.. it was really hard for us because we're an eight grade choir, we didn't add movements because we were really packed for time. we had 2 months and only 2 classes a week... and 4 other songs to learn. you guys did an amaaazing job! i hope one day we will be as good as you guys :)

[@Nekohooch20]

We're doing this at my school and we might be taking it to the J.B. Lyle Festival in February. I just hope we can get it down pat by then!

[@piecesofchaos]

:) performed this song Jr. high with my choir... this brings back good memories.

[@TheCaitlinH]

Cool! I saw it both times, at the choir concert and at Collage. let me know when you get it, i really want that recording, you guys were amazing. simply phenomenal.

[@aztecaXV]

really good! I liked the choreography. My college glee club sang this last semester and were are one of the first to sing the TTBB version. I do agree though I think the opening and interlude should have been slower. I did like the speed of the fast sections. I really like the sound an all male choir gives a piece like this. Keep it up!

[@lilheidy01]

Omg soooo goooddd!!!! I'm gonna sing this song April 14,2010 at Princeton high come c it if u live near by!!!! :)
