Being part of this was easily one of the best moments of my life as well! I am thankful every day for the opportunity to come back and be a part of this amazing performance. Sharing the risers with each of these guys is something special and I will never forget this moment!
Ryan, did I understand correctly that you took part in this amazing performance? I am a graduate student from Kharkov, Ukraine. now studying barbershop music. please tell me, barbershop music is both a choir and a vocal ensemble? unfortunately, the Internet does not always help in finding the truth) sorry if I bothered you in vain) I admire this sound! it's great!
my thought exactly....dude pulled it out and saved the day. it would have been ridiculously obvious if he did a face plant center stage. Those boys were ON in this performance. wow
That's the first time a performance has ever blown me away to the point where my heart literally stopped for a moment. Without a doubt, this will go down as my favorite chorus set on the International stage.
After seeing a performance like this, I feel like the bar has officially been set higher than it's ever been. I love watching barbershop performances. With a lot of them, they can make you feel the emotion they are trying to get across with their song. With this performance, they enveloped you in it. I've never been so pumped watching a video from the Harmony Society until now. Way to kick ass Westminster!!!!
Salt Lake City is at about 4,200 feet above sea level. With all the jumping around and what not. it's a wonder they didn't have to cart a few of them off with oxygen masks. ESPECIALLY since Westminster, Ca. is at about sea level. Well done, folks. Well done indeed.
The rehearsals leading up to this, there were moments where the front row was literally gasping for air lying on the floor, the air was so dry too, I felt like I couldnt get enough air!
Can attest to this. When our chorus started rehearsing in SLC, I was winded after the first runthrough, each time. Somehow a little better for the ones after that.
I know there are other versions of From Now On but this is hands down the best of them. This is all live, no editing, no auto tune, no do overs or retakes. Everything you see and hear is authentic and the end result of hundred of hours of hard work. These young men aren’t professional choreographers but you wouldn’t tell the difference. They are just like you and I who love this art form with a passion.
Had the opportunity and privilege to be there in person - words cannot adequately describe the efforts, talents, and performance nor the the audience reaction to this very artistic presentation. At the end, the audience just exploded- just a very special performance for everyone in attendance. And the winner was.... no doubt about it.
Well, that might explain why, on 3/10/2020, they have 241,333 views but only 3850 likes. Seriously, TH-cam, get with the program. Only allowing one like for a masterpiece like this doesn't reflect the will of the viewership. And I listen to this (or the post-metal version) at least three times per week.
This was the only performance that could have possibly scored higher than AoH. AoH was amazing. This was... something better than amazing for which a word has not yet been invented.
Can this please get more attention omg it's such a good arrangement and the harmonies are so on point and the performance the lads put into it was just amazing
Simply the best performance I have witnessed in the 31 years I have been a Barbershopper!! Westminster has yet again changed the game and set the bar higher than ever. Way to go guys!! Thank you for this unforgettable performance. You all deserved the best score ever and Justin, YOU ARE THE MAN!! :-)
This came across my reddit feed first thing in the morning today and I got chills and teared up, simultaneously! OUTSTANDING showmanship! For those of us who are and have been obsessed with TGS, to see two of the most vivid, striking songs be given such a treatment is... a true gift. The talent necessary to arrange this, choreograph it, and then perform it? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? I LOVE YOU! I've shared it all over the place and it deserves every accolade, and more. WOW. JUST WOW.
@Westminsterchorus Dudes - THIS IS ONE OF IF NOT THE SINGLE MOAT DOPEST THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! Not surprised at all but at the same time EXTREMELY SURPRISED AT HOW SICK THAT WAS!!!!!!! #mynewringtone
I get a good giggle imagining someone listening to an epic 7 minute barbershop chorus performance every time someone calls them. Everyone else in the room: "You gonna answer that or...?" Jesse: "Just 6 more minutes."
That was absolutely the greatest mashup I have ever heard. All of their music was very well written. Their capabilities and talents in what they have as a group is incredible. I listened to this twice the first time I heard it. It was just playing and came up in my suggestions. The choreography was incredible. The sound and expression that you guys bring to the stage is not an easy one to achieve. I absolutely loved it! Great song!
This won BHS' international chorus contest in 2019 with a record score for both the song itself (98.6) and the overall average (97.9). Westminster also won the contest this year.
Wow! As a singing member of the 1987 Intnl Chorus champs, all I can say is that the competition has ratcheted up to an amazing level. I don't think that we would even be able to break into the top 10 with our 1987 performance......today! What a great representative for the barbershop society.
5 years ago I was there. Still the greatest group performance ever. How they got so many men with different lives and personalities become so united and make it there on stage was unbelievable.
Absolutely amazing! Please, please, PLEASE may I ask that the camera shot be simply full stage? We miss so much when we can't see the full effect of your incredible choreography. Bravo!!
It appears their full-stage camera is complete shit, or they didn't upload this in the best quality. The bad resolution at times takes me out of it a bit.
Ummm.... Ho-lee 'SHOP!!!!!!!!!!! What an unreal, phenomenal performance - literally sounded like it was done in a big studio, not onstage, under the lights, in front of hundreds of spectators/fellow singers. Hats off to the incredible passion and unity of you brothers! #harmonycomealive
I wish I was in the audience to witness this awe inspiring performance. I saw this flick last night and I've watched it over 15 times. Now I've downloaded it and will show it to my friends and family. Keep up the excellent work guys. A cappella at it's best!
My breath is actually coming in gasps--I breathe/hold/breathe/hold.... I'm absolutely flabbergasted and am having to convince myself that this is real.

Being part of this was easily one of the best (if not the best) moments of my life. Honored to share the risers with each and every one of you.
Ryan Collins That was amazing . I hope to come to California and see y’all . Being over 2,000 miles away can be hard

I literally cant stop watching this performance it's just so perfect actually blows me away everytime you guys did an awesome job
I wish I wasn’t so old, I would have loved to joined you,

I admire this sound! it's great!
LONGEST STANDING OVATION EVER. WELL DESERVED. I CRIED.
Nobody:
Westminster:
literally what i thought watching this..like how did they..outdo...themselves..
Are you referring to "Seize the Day" or "South Rampart Street Parade"?
David Brown Sieze the day, but... that too. lol
My choir teacher was a part of this, and he showed it to us on the first day of school. I’ve never been more blown away by a performance in my life.
Shout out to the guy at 6:23 who almost eats it after his backflip but saves it
that was the same guy from 6:13
@@Casp1anX geez, a backflip not 10 seconds after being launched into the air-while singing, too. big props to him
my thought exactly....dude pulled it out and saved the day. it would have been ridiculously obvious if he did a face plant center stage. Those boys were ON in this performance. wow
That's my boi Chase 😂
@@savvvysavvv1934 eyyyy ;)
He did a goddamn backflip, just missed the landing, and somehow caught himself in rhythm!
First he was tossed 15 feet in the air and then did a back flip. Hope he is getting his sky miles.
Legend says that he meant to do that.
Skyler I just don’t get it
I can't imagine how hard it was to even attempt one in DRESS SHOES!!!
Ladies and gentleman, your NEW International Chorus Champions of Barbershop.
Goed !
That's the first time a performance has ever blown me away to the point where my heart literally stopped for a moment. Without a doubt, this will go down as my favorite chorus set on the International stage.
No auto tune - no instruments- what singing!!
After seeing a performance like this, I feel like the bar has officially been set higher than it's ever been. I love watching barbershop performances. With a lot of them, they can make you feel the emotion they are trying to get across with their song. With this performance, they enveloped you in it. I've never been so pumped watching a video from the Harmony Society until now. Way to kick ass Westminster!!!!
But what is the emotion you speak of?
had the privilege to be taught choral music for four years under mr. miller/the conductor of westminster chorus. watching this brings back memories❤️
Justin is an absolute legend
Salt Lake City is at about 4,200 feet above sea level. With all the jumping around and what not. it's a wonder they didn't have to cart a few of them off with oxygen masks. ESPECIALLY since Westminster, Ca. is at about sea level.
Well done, folks. Well done indeed.
Westminster college is located in Salt Lake City

At the end, the audience just exploded- just a very special performance for everyone in attendance. And the winner was.... no doubt about it.
Why can I not stop watching this. Have literally watched it at least 3 times everyday since it's come out. PHENOMENAL

A new BHS record. And I was privileged enough to see it live on the stage. Phenomenal!
Absolutely phenomenal - it was a privilege to see it live. Massive congratulations, Westminster Chorus!
Thank you TNL! We love you guys!
Aw, this is so wholesome.
Holy socks what a performance. Westminster earned their championship this year with a stunning display of musicianship. I am gobsmacked.
Dave Luttinen - “Holy socks...” Yes. Holy socks indeed, my friend.
I love the word gobsmacked, I am proud of your vocab choice.
This was the only performance that could have possibly scored higher than AoH. AoH was amazing. This was... something better than amazing for which a word has not yet been invented.
I swear to god, Westministers tenors are not freaking human!
Can this please get more attention omg it's such a good arrangement and the harmonies are so on point and the performance the lads put into it was just amazing

Thank you for this unforgettable performance. You all deserved the best score ever and Justin, YOU ARE THE MAN!! :-)
Um is anyone hearing the "woo!" from the audience on a perfectly tuned A6 at 6:15-6:16? Only at BHS competitions does the audience cheer in the key...
That was my soprano girlfriend in the audience 😂
BEST SONG IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!! I felt alive while performing this song
If there’s a better chorus performance in the history of Barbershop, I’d like to see it. Holy shit!! The champs! No question!!
Wow... that was awesome! I can’t imagine how many hours of rehearsal that took, nor can I imagine how many hilarious mishaps happened during them.
Victor Mandala did you see the awkward landing on the guy flipping at 6:25
I'd have to wager that, while there were mishaps, perhaps none could be classified as 'hilarious'.

Tari Jordan thank you! Westminster Chorus from Southern California. We appreciate the kind words! :)
I love seeing the diversity of this group and so many young people! Amazing!
I love it when people come together for the sheer joy of their craft
Listen, folks, this is harmony and feelings sung as they should be sung.

Jesse: "Just 6 more minutes."
Unbelievable performance. I don't understand why some people gave it the "thumbs down".
That's first part came out of nowhere and it was AMAZING. 😍
They are The Greatest Showmen'.......amazing performance!
This was amazing! My choir teacher shared this with us for active listening and my god, we were just so impressed by this!!!
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, I'm always blubbing by the end. What a privilege it must have been to be up there. Amazing.
These harmonies give me goosebumps. I have never heard an arrangement like this.
I've literally watched this 10 times today and smiled like a loon every time
I wish I could like this a million times!
That was absolutely the greatest mashup I have ever heard. All of their music was very well written. Their capabilities and talents in what they have as a group is incredible.

Lucas Griffith I love how absolutely every single last one of them is all in. Makes me so happy for them!
godly tag
the words “blinded by the light” hit me in the feels big time
God, that moment when that chord hits at 6:35... what an incredible performance to go down in BHS history.
Saw them perform live two weeks ago in LA--stunning performance and well-deserved win. Congratulations Westminster Chorus!
Literally the cleanest singing I’ve been heard. Wow!
Ever* (silly auto-correct)
OH EM it's already released?!?!?!?!?! Hahahaha! Awesome you guys! Can't wait to get to it!
If that performance did not win an award, IT SHOULD HAVE!!!
This won BHS' international chorus contest in 2019 with a record score for both the song itself (98.6) and the overall average (97.9). Westminster also won the contest this year.
That intro is simply amazing. The first chord had me riveted!
This
I will never tire of this video.
WOW! Singing AND dancing...and acrobatic manaeuvers! Amazing performance.
Bravo!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Even almost two years later, this video still brings so much joy to my heart!
I can’t believe I actually got to sing with the guys when they came to my school!!!
They're absolutely stunning ❤🎉
HOW DO THEY KEEP DOING THIS
Pure talent and dedication
Magic.
This is truly the performance of the night!
I can't count the number of times I've watched this incredible performance.
OMG OMG OMG What a performance! Spectacular!
Så jääääävla bra!
One of the best performances I've ever seen on the International stage. So happy I was able to see it in person. Amazing!
Wow! As a singing member of the 1987 Intnl Chorus champs, all I can say is that the competition has ratcheted up to an amazing level. I don't think that we would even be able to break into the top 10 with our 1987 performance......today! What a great representative for the barbershop society.
5 years ago I was there. Still the greatest group performance ever. How they got so many men with different lives and personalities become so united and make it there on stage was unbelievable.
3:10-3:16 i just melted!!!
i legit watch this once a day and it's always uplifting
Absolutely amazing! Please, please, PLEASE may I ask that the camera shot be simply full stage? We miss so much when we can't see the full effect of your incredible choreography. Bravo!!
It appears their full-stage camera is complete shit, or they didn't upload this in the best quality. The bad resolution at times takes me out of it a bit.
Wow... that choreography though!!!
Wow, just wow.
Do people have a certain video that they just have to go back and watch again every few weeks or so. For me, this is that video.
I feel sorry for who ever had to follow them in the competition.
Oh my God...!!!! What was that...???? Had to watch like 10 times before it all sank in. Absolutely phenomenal!
Im so happy to have seen this in person. Great job guys!
Oh! - Even more amazing and touching than before. We expect so much out of this chorus - and they never let us down. Great job, Gentlemen!
Congratulations on your incredible finish in Salt Lake City! Stunning singing and presentation. From a former New Tradition member...
Way to bring it home boys! Had goosebumps for the whole last minute.
There are no words short of SENSATIONAL‼️
Goosebumps the entire time. Holy hell guys!!! Always raising the bar and absolutely nailing it!!!!!
Ummm.... Ho-lee 'SHOP!!!!!!!!!!! What an unreal, phenomenal performance - literally sounded like it was done in a big studio, not onstage, under the lights, in front of hundreds of spectators/fellow singers. Hats off to the incredible passion and unity of you brothers! #harmonycomealive
This is amazing! Congratulations Westminster Chorus!
Omgosh this is so lit 😍🔥

Holy Creator of heavens! This was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats
I wish I was in the audience to witness this awe inspiring performance. I saw this flick last night and I've watched it over 15 times. Now I've downloaded it and will show it to my friends and family. Keep up the excellent work guys. A cappella at it's best!
Sometimes I watch this when I need to cry and pump myself up at the same time
Awesome used to do barbershop myself I am blown away
Goosebumps the whole time. Wow!
So good! Love from Australia 💜
Rainbow flowing out from my ears
Best ever.
Holy COW!!
That is pure brilliance!!

Why do I get goosebumps on that final stomp? You guys absolutely nailed it. Thank you!
Amazing job.
Oh wow, this was incredible. I had the chills, these guys are awesome
Is anyone else Newfangled Four spotting as they watch this?
My breath is actually coming in gasps--I breathe/hold/breathe/hold.... I'm absolutely flabbergasted and am having to convince myself that this is real.
So freaking awesomeeee
Fantastic performance. Congratulations!
Best performance I've ever seen I think.
