Last night, the PS22 Chorus of 2010 saw the culmination of their hard work this week preparing for and with Celtic Woman for the absolutely brilliant show that took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City! The kids helped to bring the house down, joining the group on two fantastic renditions of Celtic Woman's most beloved songs: "You Raise Me Up" and "Spanish Lady."
The experience was so much more than the music -- just being in each other's presence and making such a strong connection of the heart... We'll never forget it. It was a glorious night of fun and music, and it's safe to say that nobody left that theater with anything but a huge grin from ear to ear! (Though admittedly, I can't seem to get through the video of "You Raise Me Up" without welling up a bit.) Celtic Woman, their entourage, and their fans have all completely embraced PS22 and have helped make this collaboration that much more special and memorable. We thank you all!
And today the PS22 Chorus got an e-mail from Lisa Kelly, who writes:
Hi Guys,
Hope you got to have some rest after your very exciting night! I think I got to say goodbye to all of you. But if I didn't I'm sorry and again just want to tell you how amazing I think all of you are. You did an incredible job and should be so very proud of yourselves.
Keep up your singing and listen to Mr Greg!!! It's so cool to do what you do.
Be safe and stay in touch
Love always

Mr B - Thanks for these. Was so looking forward to this I dragged my lazy bones out of bed early Sunday hoping you might have taken some of your valuable sleep time to post them. Thanks! You and the group are incredible. Everytime I think (Tori, then Passion Pit, then the Christmas Tree lighting) that "can't top that" - you folks find a way. A question. You could tell from the Passion Pit experience the group can be a little uncomfortable without you directing. It obviously worked beautifully, but how did you handle that here?
Thanks! I was directing from offstage. :)
Amazing,as always!
Very proud of you.

OMG, way to go guys! You all were excellent! Wish I was there in RCMH cheering you on, but I thought about you guys last night from home!
Awesome job!
Chloe's introduction of PS22 before You Raise Me Up was so eloquent and heartfelt, so touching. It was as beautiful to listen to her little speech as it was to hear the song itself.
Chloe + PS22 = a match made in heaven.
WOW...these kids have come so far in a few short months. GREAT, great, GREAT.
I really liked the Thursday posts, when CW and PS22 "hanging out" and signing. A great day for PS 22 and for Celtic Woman.
Mr.B - I know you need no encouragement...but keep up the excellent work. You are not merely saving lives you are augmenting the quality of sooooo many lives

Thank you Mr. B for posting (and for doing what you do!). And thank you to Celtic Woman for taking their time to make the kids feel special and appreciated, I appreciate that!
