Ol' New YORK!

In case you have been living under a rock, one of the best public school musical choirs is located in New York City.

I wanted to post this AMAZING clip from the P.S. 22 (that's Public School # 22 for us West Coasters).....
This rendition of "Stand By Me" is incredible...
The PS22 Chorus is an elementary school chorus from Public School 22 in Graniteville, Staten Island (New York).
It is composed of 60-70 fifth-graders, and is directed by Gregg Breinberg.

Students are assigned to the chorus after an annual auditioning process at the beginning of each school year.
PS22 is the largest elementary school in Staten Island which pulls from a wide cross section of ethnic groups and socio-economic levels.

The chorus meets twice a week during school hours to practice, and performs throughout the year at school functions, local events, and on special requests.  It has been featured on several major national news and music networks after its videos had gained international attention within the popular video-sharing site YouTube.

As of August 2, 2010 the chorus’s videos have been watched more than 21,000,000 times.
Amazing.  As a matter of fact....here is another clip from them....


BTW....
We need to PS 22 to the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts here in our Hood. Omg. Their voices would sound INCREDIBLE in our AMAZING theater. BTW. Frank Sinatra opened the CCPA almost 20 years ago...so they would be in great company.....



Follow them on their Blog....
