Crying as much now as I did during that concert. 💙💙 Thompson joined choir this year, the year after I graduated. T plus all my best friends being seniors meant I had to come back to see this concert as an alum. This is my brother and I's first choral performance together 😍
I understand the emotions right now from this performance, at my last choir concert for my school and the Grand Rapids Symphony Youth Chorus I cried like a baby! I didn't want to let them go 😭😭😭😭
I can't count the number of times I've watched this video since discovering it in September 2017. I immediately shared it on my Positive Music Playlist page on Facebook, with this introduction: I discovered choral singing in high school, and I've been singing with a wide variety of groups for more than 50 years. So it's not hard to imagine my falling instantly in love with Greg Gilpin's "Why We Sing" when I discovered the audio-only demo track on the Stanton's Sheet Music webstore. I searched TH-cam for a video performance of the song. Surprise! It seems nearly every group with the ability to (1) produce a live performance video and (2) upload the video to TH-cam, has done so. Choral groups clearly LOVE this song. After watching many of the videos, I kept returning to this performance by the Chandler (AZ) High School combined choirs, directed by Lori Lyford. I did not realize until watching the video a second time, these are HIGH SCHOOL SINGERS! My heart fills up, imagining the impact this song will have on their lives. "Music is a language, that can speak to one and all! This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, why we stand as one in harmony!"

Thank you Ward for this touching comment. The influence of choral music in my high school years caused me to become a high school choral director. I have about 100 choral performances that I personally recorded and posted on my TH-cam channel including many by Chandler High School over the years. Lori Lyford runs a great program there and I will pass your comment on to her.
Performance finished, the reaction of all the chorus member tell the reason why they sing.
That`s amazing and beautiful.
