Here’s what happens when you let a high school choir into the hotel pool
mainThey restore your faith in youth and beauty.
Three weeks ago, the Stillwater Area High School Concert Choir posted a video of their break at a hotel in Ames, Iowa. They liked the pool’s acoustics and sang F. Melius Christiansen’s “O Day Full of Grace.”
Three-quarters of a million people have watched in wonder.

Our Upper Middlewest is a very special place — one of the last places on earth where people just love good music.
Young Minnesotans at their best…:-)
How come when a group like this does such an impromptu performance it’s fresh, fun, and leaves you with a good feeling, but when a flock of professional, overpaid musicians take over a public space it sounds laborious and invasive?
One video of one unconducted choir proves that? Doesn’t take much to convince you…
Because it’s spontaneous, video flaws (i.e. not professionally done) and all. Loved this. Thanks for posting.
Well at least it proves that conductors of live performances are wholly dispensable.
Maybe also that some good choral conductors are unsung heroes. Chances are they have rehearsed a lot with one of them.

It’s because this was so spontaneous – no glitzy video edits, that it captures our attention. Lots of fun. Thanks for posting.
