This is one of the greatest gifts a parent can have to see their child participate in something that they will carry with them the rest of their lives. It's wonderful to see something in the news that includes children but doesn't include murder, alcohol, bullying or texting. The kids deserve it and I hope to see more like them. Enjoy your success kids you deserve it!

This choir director is bringing out the joy and beauty of these kids. He loves his job and you can see it. The kids think he is the greatest and are able to bring forth the most beautiful, upbeat music that I have heard from such a young group of singers. They will most likely be the most entertaining part of the award show. Congratulations to the direcor, the kids and their parents.
