Hall Of Fame!

Turn up the volume on your speakers and be prepared for a big dose of musical adrenalin, because the PS22 Chorus of 2013 serves up a powerhouse performance of the incredible song "Hall Of Fame" by The Script ft. will.i.am! Certainly this feelgood performance is worthy of its namesake! (And of course a little impromptu chant of Sweet Brown's "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That" can only exponentially increase the entertainment factor of ANY video....)

Thanks to Zach Johnson for suggesting the cover! And while we're on the topic of "Hall Of Fame," check out who's following the PS22 Chorus on Twitter!

Yup, that's LeBron James! Now not only can we admire his skills on the basketball court, but we can also commend him for his excellent taste in music!  ;)

Payphone

Inspired by our previously posted version with Ithacappella, PS22 Chorus does a full-on acoustic arrangement of "Payphone" by Maroon 5 with the help of a brilliant performance by soulful Matt T. on leads! And in case you missed it, below is the version we did last month during our collaboration with Ithacappella!
