    Here's a fantastic song by Phoenix, and a fantastic rendition by the PS22 Chorus of 2010! I love this point in the year. The kids pick stuff up really quick -- only two rehearsals to get this performance! And you know the kids are coming into their own when every new video posted becomes a new favorite! Btw, this is my new favorite.....

    I love the fact that these children look so relaxed, confident and at ease. They're openly expressing themselves and having fun - this must be doing absolute wonders for their self-esteem. What an excellent project.

      I was a junior when this particular video came out. That's pretty crazy. I remember wishing my high school choir could sound half as beautiful as your elementary school choir.

    Watching this for the first time in 2022 and looking at all the comments from 12 years ago fills me with a certain indescribable emotion. Like even though I missed out on this moment initially, the energy is still presence and tangible all these years later. I have a feeling that if I had seen this years ago while in middle school transitioning into high school, this would’ve had a direct impact on the trajectory of my life. Im grateful for where I am now, but this video makes me daydream about where I could be.

    I keep replaying this video, I really wish I had a music teacher like you when I was in grade school. I mean I always loved music but if we sang songs like this I think it would have made a bigger impact on me. If everyone in the world were connected to music like these kids are the world would be a better place. People need to realize the kind of power music really has.

    When I need to feel emotion that is evoked by music. I find my way to this video. Everyone in this, the diversity, the range it displays. It makes me feel like the world is okay. Despite the ugly that goes on. I’m reminded beautiful things like this exist & I cry every time. Just a little bit. Just enough to let out a few tears, but I feel it. The moment is there. I can hold it.

    So sentimental
    Not sentimental, no
    Romantic not disgusting yet
    Darling, I'm down and lonely
    When with the fortunate only
    I've been looking for something else
    Do let, do let, do let
    Jugulate, do let, do
    Let's go slowly, discouraged
    Distant from other interests
    On your favorite weekend ending
    This love's for gentlemen only
    That's with the fortunate only
    No, I gotta be someone else
    These days it comes, it comes, it comes
    It comes, it comes and goes
    Lisztomania
    Think less but see it grow
    Like a riot, like a riot, oh
    Not easily offended
    Not hard to let it go
    From a mess to the masses
    Lisztomania
    Think less but see it grow
    Like a riot, like a riot, oh
    Not easily offended
    Not hard to let it go
    From a mess to the masses
    Follow, misguide, stand still
    Disgust, discourage
    On this precious weekend ending
    This love's for gentlemen only
    Wealthiest gentlemen only
    And now that you're lonely
    Do let, do let, do let
    Jugulate, do let, do
    Let's go slowly, discouraged
    We'll burn the pictures instead
    When it's all over, we can barely discuss
    For one minute only
    Not with the fortunate only
    Thought it could have been something else
    These days it comes, it comes, it comes
    It comes, it comes and goes
    Lisztomania
    Think less but see it grow
    Like a riot, like a riot, oh
    Not easily offended
    Not hard to let it go
    From a mess to the masses
    Lisztomania
    Think less but see it grow
    Like a riot, like a riot, oh
    Not easily offended
    Not hard to let it go
    From a mess to the masses
    Ooh
    This is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime
    Ooh
    This is showtime, this is showtime, this is showtime
    Time, time to show it off, time to show it off
    It's time to show it off
    Time, time to show it off, time to show it off
    It's time to show it off
    From the mess to the masses
    Lisztomania
    Think less but see it grow
    Like a riot, like a riot, oh
    Disgust, disgust, disgust
    Disgust, disgust, discouraged

After watching this song,I was so impressed and was forced to look up PS22 Chorus.This is amazing what you are bringing out of these children at a time when you rarely see such individuality being encouraged with children.You are truly a gifted and special teacher.I know all the students who come in contact with you must be very impressed.These children,as all others, are quite remarkable. This is now one of my favourite songs.All the best to you and PS22 Chorus!!!
