these kids are awsome espeacially the back row of the sopranos but either way these kids are blowing my socks off
WOW!!! What a wonderful honor! :) I hope you all get the chance to meet the President and the First Lady! How incredible would that be?
You all are my heroes and my inspiration as I try and lead my own little choir at my school. :) Thanks for all the hard work!!!!! You all are amazing! :)
Love,
Joy
YIPEE!!! have a blast guys and safe travels... you will do AMAZING I am sure! Can't wait!
I don't even know what to say anymore because I'm running out of superlatives.
You always aim high and score even higher. I'm sure, you're all gonna rock the house (or tree in this case).
Please consider singing "A Winter's Carol". That will catch the audience by surprise (and leave them in awe).
Watch out, though! Sasha and Malia might try to persuade mommy and daddy to allow them to join your posse. :-D
Umm, you were supposed to be getting some sleep, not updating the blog!!!!LOL.
Can't wait until tomorrow!
: )

Miss Lisa has a VERY valid point!
Hope you get to take some great shots and video footage as you ALWAYS do Miss Lisa!
Good luck To my son Julian & the whole gang!! You guys have been so blessd to be given this opportunity!! SING YOUR HEART OUT AS YOU ALL DO EVERYTIME!! This moment is PRICELESS....
First of all: Congratulations! You were the best act of the evening by far and I'm trying hard not to be biased here). I'm a little disappointed though, that the christmas classics got cut and that the chorus was not on stage during the handshaking(!). I sure hope Ethan got some sniffing opportunities nonetheless.
So it was not as big a sellout as the Divas Special but a little more airtime would've been nice.
WTG PS 22 CHORUS YOU GUYS ROCK ...To my niece Kaitlynn & Julian I love you guys!

Miss Lisa -- So far I have loved the video that you shot that finally got posted--your efforts are always amazing! I think you (and Leslie and his parents) are the unsung heroes in a lot of this! We would never see most of the footage without your help~~ so to you all goes a HUGE Thank You! Now if only there was a way for the pictures to get sorted faster so we can SEE all the great shots! :P (kidding)
(and yes I realize there is a bad pun about "unsung" heroes)
