I still remember seeing them in a concert hall with 500 people. 500. It was the best concert I've been to. The audience was quiet when needed and singing when needed, all in the mood, it was amazing. And the ticket was only €10.
Allison Lam I know! i try to be friends with everybody but usually when i make a new friend it turns out that they wanted to talk to me but they were to shy.
Allison Lam Exactly. One day in grade 10, some kid was really bugging the shit out of me because he kept singing "Scottttt haaaand meeee the taaapeeeeee" and he sat right next to me and kept trying to grab the tape from my hands so I threw it at his head and I got my first ever detention xD Over the summer after grade 10 he moved to Toronto. He was really really really good at singing and I wish I had been more friendly with him. Of course we have many memories together, and when he came back to our school for a visit, I walked with him to get a lunch (the cafeteria lady surprisingly let him have one even though he didn't go to school there) and we talked about how much we missed each other and I led him around the school looking for our classmates. Then we all hung out in a random classroom and he sang one of his originals for us and told us about Toronto. He apparently does like 2-3 shows a week now on top of school and he's really busy all the time. One day, some of you people will remember this comment after reading that Brandon Glazer is making it big and I will be known as the kid who threw one of those heavy tape dispensers at him in high school. You will all be jelly :) (I also have a video of him, myself, and our friend playing the Heads Up! app in the middle of the hallway at school, so there is that)
Watching this reminds me that somewhere along the line there was someone who encouraged these people. Who told them that their dreams weren't stupid. That they could and should reach higher. Someone who guided them, while letting their talents run wild. I am grateful to whoever that was. It is not an overstatement to say that the world is a brighter place for the music of PTX.
Three high school students who had a dream and were willing to put in the blood, sweat, and tears to make it happen. They deserve everything that they have achieved in the last ten years. Their song "The Lucky Ones" shows their humility, but it was grit and determination that put them where they are - - - Okay, and incredible talent.
Omg I'm crying because they just won a Grammy and it's amazing to see how they started out and omg I'm just so proud of them and they're (including Avi and Kevin even though they weren't in this video) amazing and I just love them so much!!!
It's now 2022, I wonder if these little sweethearts had any kind of feeling that they would be superstars in the near future?! They've all come so far and yet still putt 110% into Pentatonix. SODAMNEDTALENTED!!❤
There is so much trash on TH-cam these days but it's times like is when it really shines. Here you see 3 kids, 5 years ago, in high school, talented and full of dreams performing with and for their peers. Now they are Grammy winners just a few short years later. I'm sure anyone that was there will remember their performance and can look back and say, hey, I went to school with them, or, saw them perform back in the day etc.... Great stuff.
+Ehrinn Sitton I feel pretty good about it, honestly. It's my "lame claim to fame." I never got anything for it (especially since I never monetized this video), but it's a great conversation starter and something I get to feel really hipster about. Also, I have 425+ subscribers, which is pretty cool considering I've only uploaded one video and will probably never upload another. I'm honestly very happy for the members of PTX and all they've accomplished. I've gotten all their albums and try to make it to their concerts that happen in Dallas (I was in the very far back row for the last one, but it was still great!). My younger sister still finds it weird that high school friends/classmates of hers are famous.
I was in the choir behind them. I just remembered how good this was and looked for it on youtube. this is freakin incredible and im so proud of y'all. Let's go Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch!!
Maybe there are floor mics/ overhead mics. Not that the trio isn't ridiculously talented or anything, but mics are quite important if the arena is too big for pure voice, or else they might hurt their voices...
My favorite part if this entire video is Mitch's reaction when the applause starts (at 2:46). Looks like he's uncomfortable but basking in it at the same time, doesn't want to leave the stage,and then his tiny wave of acknowledgement. How far they've come! Amazing.
To anyone that was judging them during this performance..... Now they won a Grammy. So.... And bless your heart for uploading this or they would have never become who they are today.
Fun Fact: This video went pretty viral when it came out. In 2011 the three were setting up the group for the "Sing Off" they contacted Avi and Kevin who both had previously seen this video and helped them make the best decision of their life to join Scott, Mitch and Kirsten.
The first time I saw this video was before they were on the Sing Off. I had also seen Kevin's beat boxing chello before the show. When I saw them on The Sing Off I felt like I had inside knowledge, but I had know clue how good they were, or how far they would go.
Holy shit! Didn't know this was online! I was the pianist and a flautist for Martin Wind Band at this Grammy performance :) know Scott and Kirstie personally, and I think they can (and hope they will) win the entire Sing-Off competition. :D
It's dazzling that three such tremendously talented high schoolers should come from the same school! I am amazed and delighted by their voices, harmonies, arrangement, poise, verve, and... and... They are extraordinary and this performance is terrific! A precursor of the wonderful things and performances that have followed. Way to go, you three!
That is so cute) Scott is so nervous and shaky I think. But look how far they have gone. Mitch is feeling kinda uncomfortable and loooks like he doesn't really know what to do with himself. But that's so nice)) An Kirstie and her beatboxing is just outstanding)
I love how at the end the others in the choir are smiling and so proud of them. Anyone noticed the girl on the right trying not to laugh out loud at about 2:40 ? :D
imagine what they would do if you told them back in high school that they would get together to become a grammy award winning, platinum selling, #1 chart topping artists in the future. They would probably laugh in you face.
This is CRAZY!!! Haha my cousin Sarah showed this to me cause she was in this choir - and I was so obsessed I ripped the audio and have been listening to it and giving it to ALL of my friends and then saw the Sing Off and was like WTF! Haha they are amazing.
I WOULD KILL TO BE IN CHOIR WITH THEM Like did their fellow choir students and choir teachers know they were in the presence of gods??? Did they all swoon every time they sang or even walked into the room??? HOW DID THEY NOT ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPLODE Also, all three have gotten so much more attractive. Especially Scott aka daddy
Hey zero I was a fellow student with them in choir and high school. And yes they were our top talent and yes we swooned especially when Mitch sang haha they were good times. And they are great awesome people.
+Troy Stallsworth PLEASE SPILL!!! OH MY GOSH!!!! Did you see them on Sing Off and was like "hey I know them"??? And did people actually make fun of Mitch for his high voice?
Whenever I'm talking to someone in junior high or high school and want to give them an example of young folks with a dream and hard work leading to those dreams coming true, this is one video that I point them to.
I keep noticing that from the very beginning and 90% of the time the band stands in its traditional order: Avi, Kirstie, Scott, Mitch and Kevin from left to right. Pretty damn awesome.
Whoaaaa!! I go on just to see Trio and I see it's Kirstie, Scott and Mitch from Pentatonix! I forgot all about this performance! All they need is Avi and Kevin ahaha
It's great when choir and band geeks come out on top!!! I bet that there were jocks back then who made fun of them (at least the guys). Now they could probably buy the town where they grew up. Great job guys for following your dreams with such obvious passion and determination!
Update Update Update: They're nominated for a 3rd Grammy (best country duo/group song) They finish a headlining arena tour They get a Christmas special on NBC They get their Christmas album on the top 5 of the Billboard Top 200
kirstie beatboxing is the cutest thing ever LOL
Flames288 ikrrrr
Cute, yes. But I'm glad they eventually got Kevin for that, as he is truly like a machine! :-)
Back when people were quiet during PTX concerts.
I still remember seeing them in a concert hall with 500 people. 500. It was the best concert I've been to. The audience was quiet when needed and singing when needed, all in the mood, it was amazing. And the ticket was only €10.
So damn true🤣🤣🤣
Scott really is defining the choir 'nerd' with those glasses
But he is fukin cute😊
Confirmed: PTX were just as insanely good in high school as they are now
There wasn't Pentatonix. Only Triotonix.
+Ghistus Velstadt Its more FetusTonix
They became richer with Avi and Kevin.
True that
Their teacher was incredible
those people weren;t aware that they were at a free ptx meet and greet..
IKR!!
So be nice to people, kids. You never know when that shy guy in the corner is gonna become famous.
Allison Lam I know! i try to be friends with everybody but usually when i make a new friend it turns out that they wanted to talk to me but they were to shy.

Earl Joseph crying over this comment
OMG, I remember this. I was sitting in the auditorium. I was blown away when they sang.
OMG really?!?! So cool
+rorogirl94 Did you expect them to get where they are today? :o
That's so cool!
You are SO. DAMN. LUCKY!!!!!!!!
Lucky you
Mitches voice is just too perfect
I know right!!!
As always 😂😍👌🏼
Why did you add the "e" to Mitch's
Emily Wright um all their voices are perfect lol
Thanks high school friends and brothers of high school friends! - Kirstie in the documentary
gloriouslycheesy Was that really said? I should watch the documentary, it seems.
Malcolm James Yep, it's around 1:15:28 in the documentary. Go see it :)
Malcolm James yeah lol she gives you a shoutout
Tessa S Yeah! I've watched it now, and I got so happy when that part came on. It's totally my "lame claim to fame."
+Qaizyn Cafe Haha yeah, Scott looks nerdy but still so darn adorable
FETUS PENTATONIX!
I just gave you your 100th like. Your welcome
Who's to say 99 wasn't my favorite number :p haha

it's almost like they can hear Avi and Kevin in their heads...
+Chloe Allen IKR!!
Lol ikr X3
Chloe Allen best comment ever! so true. o thoght the same.
I just made this comment evil 😅
GRAMMY WINNERS!!!!!
1:29 I bet you the audience was like, "shit just got real".
yeah
MADE MY DAY HAHAHAHA
+poestasis7 how the fuck did they not win this?
Lol yeah, especially when Kirst started beat boxing...
+Francisco Silveira its a part of a choir concert , its not a competition
Scott looks a little awkward because he's so much taller so it's like he's trying to shrink down
He definitely wasn't used to his height at that point lol
he must've been one of those teenagers that reached 6'3" by the age of 11
If I heard that coming from one of the local high school concerts...holy shivers, Batman. I'd know I was in the presence of premature greatness.
That's why I'm so happy I got to go to a specialized art magnet school. It was more rare that people WEREN'T talented!
Yes!
Kristy's beatbox mode is badass
Ikr😂
Kirstie*
I LIVE for that!!

Someone who guided them, while letting their talents run wild. I am grateful to whoever that was. It is not an overstatement to say that the world is a brighter place for the music of PTX.
i wonder if the kids that picked on them turned on the TV and saw them winning that grammy :)
Preach it!
DRAG HU SIS!
2 grammies that is XD
+Ninidude how will she recover
3 Grammys that is 😏
Three high school students who had a dream and were willing to put in the blood, sweat, and tears to make it happen. They deserve everything that they have achieved in the last ten years.

I couldn’t have said it better
Omg I'm crying because they just won a Grammy and it's amazing to see how they started out and omg I'm just so proud of them and they're (including Avi and Kevin even though they weren't in this video) amazing and I just love them so much!!!
lucy and now they have three grammys and it’s great
1) MITCH'S VOICE IS SOOO DIFFERENT 2)WOOOOOW 3)THEY WERE ALWAYS FLAWLESS 4)KRISTIE BEATBOXED

I wonder how Malcom feels now, knowing where this video got them.
+Ehrinn Sitton I feel pretty good about it, honestly. It's my "lame claim to fame." I never got anything for it (especially since I never monetized this video), but it's a great conversation starter and something I get to feel really hipster about. Also, I have 425+ subscribers, which is pretty cool considering I've only uploaded one video and will probably never upload another.
I'm honestly very happy for the members of PTX and all they've accomplished.

My younger sister still finds it weird that high school friends/classmates of hers are famous.
+Malcolm James good for you😊 thank you for this. I know you hear that a lot but still. I'm glad you feel that way good luck to you
Thank you Malcolm for uploading this, you are one of the main reasons Pentatonix exists. In a way their success is your success.
@@Castarr4 well they did shout you out in their documentary!
Loving every single stage of Mitch omg
I was in the choir behind them. I just remembered how good this was and looked for it on youtube. this is freakin incredible and im so proud of y'all. Let's go Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch!!
It's cool that they did this without mics!
Maybe there are floor mics/ overhead mics. Not that the trio isn't ridiculously talented or anything, but mics are quite important if the arena is too big for pure voice, or else they might hurt their voices...
MITCH IS FREAKING FLAWLESS. IM OBSESSED I SWEAR TO GOD. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. ITS SO UNHEALTHY cx

Just think about this... they were still in High School when Telephone came out... time flies by so quickly
I love how supportive and happy their classmates and the audience were!!
Mitch looks so nervous
Yes, for me too
+Shady Sadie he does doesnt he
Shady Sadie lol he doesn’t
I think Scott looks the most nervous/uncomfortable. Mitch and Kirstin look pretty calm, probably from doing musical theatre at school.
Well it was his high school wasn’t it
just knowing that this was 6 years ago and you were one of the first people to share it with the world
just watched the documentary and had to come back and see them when they were little babies...my heart
Deayne Turi same ❤
The queen Mitch
SCOTTS GLASSES ❤️😂
I was wondering if anyone elese noticed! 🔍
I start crying every time I watch this. I'm so proud of them, of how they went from this to Grammy winners, and having a platinum Christmas album.
This. Video. Thank you for existing.
Fun Fact: This video went pretty viral when it came out. In 2011 the three were setting up the group for the "Sing Off" they contacted Avi and Kevin who both had previously seen this video and helped them make the best decision of their life to join Scott, Mitch and Kirsten.

puberty hit them like a brick wall
No matter how many times i see this, I'm still stunned after all these years.
Holy shit! Didn't know this was online!
I was the pianist and a flautist for Martin Wind Band at this Grammy performance :)
know Scott and Kirstie personally, and I think they can (and hope they will) win the entire Sing-Off competition. :D
thank you for filming this, without this pentatonix wouldn't be here wow
It's dazzling that three such tremendously talented high schoolers should come from the same school! I am amazed and delighted by their voices, harmonies, arrangement, poise, verve, and... and... They are extraordinary and this performance is terrific! A precursor of the wonderful things and performances that have followed. Way to go, you three!
A week from today they get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!!
So deserving, they have catapulted a cappella into the stratosphere
I LOVE THE GUYS VOICE ON THE RIGHT!!!(:
It's so beautiful!
Thank you.
If it weren't for you, PTX would be nothing. You are an angel.
That's not they way they became famous. They became famous by winning the sing off!
This is the video that even got them a chance to audition for the sing off...
+LivinTheCrazyLife it is they said it in their documentary I should know I watched it like 5 tjmes
The trio being awkward is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
This is the video that started everything. Praise this video!!!!
That is so cute) Scott is so nervous and shaky I think. But look how far they have gone. Mitch is feeling kinda uncomfortable and loooks like he doesn't really know what to do with himself. But that's so nice)) An Kirstie and her beatboxing is just outstanding)
Mitch had bad anxiety was he was younger, that could have something to do with it.
Lucifer I think so as well
They're on Season 3 of The Sing-Off! If you like this, they're doing even better stuff now. Be sure to watch them on the show!
I love how at the end the others in the choir are smiling and so proud of them. Anyone noticed the girl on the right trying not to laugh out loud at about 2:40 ? :D
The beginning of the legends
Kirstin trying to beatbox - most adorable thing ever. :D 1:29
i srsly pray to malcom james for posting this. Without him, pentatonix wouldnt exist. its amazing
imagine what they would do if you told them back in high school that they would get together to become a grammy award winning, platinum selling, #1 chart topping artists in the future. They would probably laugh in you face.
If only if only
holy mother of goodness!! they were great even then!
iM CRYIN OMG LOOK AT HOW FAR THEY'VE COME IM SO PROUD😭😭😂
man im still proud to have sung with these 3 at this very concert :)
Why does this only have 1,300+ views and it was posted in June?!?! This was amazing!!
Wow, you just totally upstaged the rest of your choir! You rocked even then guys!
They all have flawless voices. OMG.
Awww I love how much people clapped! They deserved it! I'm so happy they have become pentatonix!
This is CRAZY!!! Haha my cousin Sarah showed this to me cause she was in this choir - and I was so obsessed I ripped the audio and have been listening to it and giving it to ALL of my friends and then saw the Sing Off and was like WTF! Haha they are amazing.
OMG i effing LOVE it! The origins!
Wow! They were amazing in high school. So talented.
I WOULD KILL TO BE IN CHOIR WITH THEM
Like did their fellow choir students and choir teachers know they were in the presence of gods??? Did they all swoon every time they sang or even walked into the room??? HOW DID THEY NOT ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPLODE
Also, all three have gotten so much more attractive. Especially Scott aka daddy
+Zero Hiro Probably not. which is weird. I MEAN THEYRE SO FREAKING TALENTED
Hey zero I was a fellow student with them in choir and high school. And yes they were our top talent and yes we swooned especially when Mitch sang haha they were good times. And they are great awesome people.
+Troy Stallsworth PLEASE SPILL!!! OH MY GOSH!!!! Did you see them on Sing Off and was like "hey I know them"??? And did people actually make fun of Mitch for his high voice?
Do you know of a choir teacher by the name of Kelli Ferrier
@@sousa2012 OMG! I wish I was in chorus with him!!!
Scott has always had some serious voice control. He is simply amazing!!!
Crazy that they're now 2x Grammy award winners with a platinum album and one of the best selling albums of 2015!
3 time grammy winners and that's Christmas to me has gone double platinum
Whenever I'm talking to someone in junior high or high school and want to give them an example of young folks with a dream and hard work leading to those dreams coming true, this is one video that I point them to.
2:50 - Scott's ready to leave but Mitch is just soaking up the attention and casually raises a hand to acknowledge the applause.
+Veronika Woods lol. Yeah. Mitch is such a Diva.
Amazing already. I wasn't even aware I was applauding with the audience at the end, it just went naturally. Sooooooooo talented :)
I totally did the same thing! Lol love PTX
Haha me too :) They're amazing :)
OMG the applause at the end!!
U see where I'm going with this?
The APPLAUSE???
+Aliya Grewal 😊😊 took me a while to get it lol
OH my gosh, they were babies!! :)
And a spark was ignited! Love these guys😍
LOVE them. Mitch is absolutely spectacular! As are the other two!
Scott looks like a mixture of John and Hank Green here omfg. He could be a part of the Green family, basically.
I love all three of them! I miss them so much!
I keep noticing that from the very beginning and 90% of the time the band stands in its traditional order: Avi, Kirstie, Scott, Mitch and Kevin from left to right.
Pretty damn awesome.
michaelNXT1 The bases are on the end, then the high voices, then the middle voice in the middle. Mixes better that way.
Interesting...
That order applies with the three here.
So good, you guys! Tenor's voice is amazing -- look out world. Great blend, diction, dynamics. Hard to believe this level of talent in high school.
Dang, Malcolm, you certainly got them places.
It certainly wasn't just me, but showing people this video makes for a great story.
Holy crap, I had no idea these three were so young! Geez! They're this talented, and they're still developing their musicality? That is SO not fair!
From this to GRAMMY!!!!
This makes me so emotional cause I'm in high school choir and we look exactly like this and just to think of how much they came...
I love at the end Kirstie up the middle Scott to the bass side and Mitch to the sopranos
Omg. !! Thank you for sharing this they were already fantastic!!!
Whoaaaa!! I go on just to see Trio and I see it's Kirstie, Scott and Mitch from Pentatonix! I forgot all about this performance! All they need is Avi and Kevin ahaha
OMG thank you so much for documenting this larval stage in the development of Pentatonix!!! This is fantastic!
It's great when choir and band geeks come out on top!!! I bet that there were jocks back then who made fun of them (at least the guys). Now they could probably buy the town where they grew up. Great job guys for following your dreams with such obvious passion and determination!
They've come so far from here. I'm so proud of them ❤️
aw they are so cute at the end when everyone is cheering and clapping, i cant deal :3
I just cried watching this. This is so good.
