The best part of this profession is that after all these years going at this gig, I can still be thoroughly blown away like I was at yesterday's rehearsal! I'm still not even sure how this performance happened, but I'm thankful it did! Kevin is uncanny, Kiarah is sublime, Daniel-san is awesome (and hilarious!) on the drums, and the chorus is PERFECT in this rendition of "One and Only" by the one and only Adele! Kiarah brought this song to me the day before with a beautiful a cappella rendition she will be singing at her aunt and uncle's wedding, and inspired this arrangement, of which I am most proud! The kids are approaching the end of the school year, but are certainly making the most out of the time they have left...
UPDATE (6-19-12): Check out the awesome praise the kids received from our dear friend Perez Hilton!

Chloe:)
I usually love every song that you guys sing but every once in a while (once or twice a year) there's that ONE song that surpasses them all. A song that reminds me how an elementary school chorus from Staten Island managed to earn international acclaim, universal love and admiration.
This is one of those songs.
I agree with Zen on this one. I love the arrangement - I listened to the original afterwards, and it's much slower... I prefer this version, it has more power to it, and suits the kids better. Kevin and Kiarahs confidence and voices are AWESOME, and Daniel-san and the choir are as usual, the best.
Great job everyone, and thank you for making my day (again). :)
I am always blown away by the maturity of your choruses...they are so gifted, talented, and skilled. The dedication they demonstrate for their craft keeps me coming back. Thanks for another fabulous arrangement.
So spectacular. That last note was incredible. Fantastic.
To Mr. B and the P.S. 22 Chorus
We are overjoyed watching your performance of Adele's One and Only because it is in fact the song we have asked Kiarah to sing at our wedding this summer. We know she has been practicing for quite sometime and were thrilled to see that she brought it your way. We love your spin on it and always appreciate your energy and passion.
Mr. B- what you do is so special and it shows in every song. The world needs more teachers like you. Keep up the divine work and thank you for giving Kiarah a wonderful outlet.
Love Uncle Chad and Aunt De
