Every time these kids burst into song, real tears flowed down my cheeks, remembering how our high school troupe embarrassed ourselves trying to render these tunes. We rural kids would have had greater success rendering hogs! LOL
I was forced to learn harmonica for our high school's production of this "Rainbow." Neither this production nor ours will make anybody forget Sonny Terry (5th star billing on the cover of the Original Broadway Cast album! Not bad for a Black man in 1947 America.) Lamest book and cleverest songs in any Broadway musical in history!

A show without compare- music - lyrics and theme.
Great job on the harmonies!

It's a blessing that they don't try to do hammy fake Irish accents. Better to stick with own accents as here and avoid the cringe factor.
