Quarantining has me thinking that if this had happened a week later, it would have been cancelled. That’s the true meaning of “I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining.” To the people who got to participate in this: we are so lucky. The world is a crazy place, and we were in the right place at the right time. Love you all, stay safe. ❤️
I missed the cut by 7 points...but everyone sounded so good. I’m honored to live in a state where there is such talent for this art. To my tenors, y’all rocked! I hope for anyone who reads this and is trying out for 2021, you got this never stop!
SO thankful this went on last week. Boy, does the world need this more than ever now. Sending love to the states who had to cancel their hard-earned festivals.
I didn’t know how this years All State Choir experience could top last years experience. This did it for me. I almost started weeping in the middle of singing it 😂. All-States is such an invaluable experience for high school musicians. I will cherish this moment forever. Thank you to everyone who made this happen. ❤️
I’m a member of the senior class of 2020. This choir is probably the last choir that many of me and my fellow seniors will get to sing in as high schoolers. On behalf of all of us, thank you. Thank you all.
As a fellow singer who sang in the Maryland all-state choir back in 1984,(tenor), I truly appreciate what you did here. What a gorgeous piece and a gorgeous sound. Thank you for sharing. Yes, you had me crying at the end.
I was in Massachusetts All-State Choir '84-'86. Shall never forget those wonderful, extraordinary, exhausting days; loved every minute :) All we ever got was the vinyl records from it, and they've been played many many times. So glad to see you all had such fun. Guessing no one from Springfield (the old/new Cathedral High School) was there?
I was supposed to go to this years NH All-State but it just got cancelled because of Corona. It would’ve been a great experience, but hey, what can you do?
It’s bittersweet to hear this, knowing I won’t be singing in this good of a group ever again. Thanks for the amazing performance
James Kaeser i feel the same way :( treasured memories
you guys sound really good!
There are plenty of excellent college, community, and professional choirs out there. Choral singing can be a lifetime endeavor.
They sound like what I imagine angels sound like.
cant believe i got to sing this. what an honor. God loves you no matter who you are and He is always there even when silent:)

I've been thinking the same thing, Olivia.
I was there and passed by when they were singing, it was truly breathtaking! (I was in the band) Go MA All-State!
It was an honor performing this gorgeous piece
Here before the millions of views this will get. Damn good job to everyone.
Half the views are from people in the choir watching it over and over again, myself included! 😂
I’m a former Choir student from my school, but this was amazing
be proud of yourselves, this is fantastic
And the other half of the views are from extremely envious choir geeks from around the world who wish they were in it!

I still haven't been able to come up with the words to express how grateful I am to have sung this with everyone, so all I can say is thank you💕
Beautiful, gave me chills. Amen, Even when He is silent, He is still there with us.
Truly an honor to be apart of this amazing group.
i loved every second singing with this choir. it was such an honor to have been a part of this beautiful moment
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! That space captures "His" presence in every nook and cranny of every structure man enters!
So happy that I got a chance to be a part of this choir! Everyone is so incredibly talented, thank you so much for an amazing experience!
I can’t believe I was a part of this! It was an honor and and and absolutely wonderful choir to perform with.
This is my favorite choir piece ever and to hear such an amazing ensemble sing this is incredible

Last years was MUCH better. Tchaka foreva.
I couldn't agree with you more. Here I am more than 20 years later watching later generations (no RUclips back then) continue such a legacy.
it was an absolute honor to be up there singing!
such an honor performing this with everyone, I will always hold this near and dear to my heart:)
the world is scary right now. my states All State might be canceled due to coronavirus. absolutely beautiful, i hope i get to do this one last time
So proud to have been a part of this wonderful chorus!

We did this last year for texas all state. One of my favorite songs ever
A beautiful, beautiful performance. I so enjoyed every moment. Great job by all!!!

This gave me chills and I might cry! Amazing job.
The voices are beautiful, the message is great
I just got to sing this song in two concerts with my local Wasatch Chorale and I'm now in love with this song forever! This is a very moving version.
Missing this
I want to thank everyone who made this piece sound so beautiful. I will never forget how happy I was to sing with you all❤️
This sounded amazing. Props to all of the people involved!
