<div align="justify">
Recently, the <b>PS22 Chorus</b> rocked the <b>2015 New Yorker for New York Gala</b> with this powerhouse rendition of "<b>Welcome To New York</b>" by <b>Taylor Swift</b>, which brought the house down! The most gratifying result was that Taylor Swift herself posted a fantastic response on her Twitter and Facebook pages (which you can see below)!! The video was also acknowledged by our friend, <b>Perez Hilton</b>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/2092630/childrens-chorus-covers-welcome-to-new-york/?fb_ref=fbshare_web">MTV</a>, and <a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/music/news/a37123/ps22-chorus-sings-taylor-swift/?src=spr_TWITTER&spr_id=1440_152474879">Cosmopolitan</a>, among others!!<br />

<br />
1) The chorus yet again raises the bar with this dark, solemn, and thoroughly beautiful cover of "<b>Mad World</b>" by <b>Tears for Fears</b>! Definitely earns a spot as another all-time favorite performance from these fabulous fifth graders....<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nrn2hWD8Pr0" width="480"></iframe>
</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) The kids surely earn high marks for this extraordinary reinvention of the 1980 anthem, "<b>Refugee</b>" by <b>Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers</b>! A classic song that has all the makings of a classic PS22 performance....</div>
<div>
<div align="center">
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GaPE_53sqDo" width="480"></iframe><br /></div>
</div>
<br />
3) PS22 Chorus of 2015 bears its soul singing the bejeebus out of this brilliant and beautiful song, "<b>Make It Rain</b>" by <b>Ed Sheeran</b>! And how about that Isaiah on the solo?!<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zYkEe-aeNCA" width="480"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
4) Here is the PS22 Chorus singing the beautiful classical French love song, "<b>Plaisir D'amour.</b>" Fourth grade twins <b>Kayla & Kendall </b>join us for a quick but lovely solo! <br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2ymLeqwkLto" width="480"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
5) And finally, the PS22 Chorus celebrated Black History Month with this upbeat rendition of "<b>Struggling Man</b>" by one of the great forefathers of reggae music, <b>Jimmy Cliff!</b> And of course I will not deny that the inspiration to cover this one came after our friend, <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-singing-dead-ft-emily-kinney.html">Emily Kinney</a> (with whom the chorus sang last year), sang this so beautifully.<br />

2014 was another amazing year for <b>PS22</b>! In the course of 365 days, the kids sang with <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2014/03/ps22-chorus-sings-in-fifth-harmony.html">Fifth Harmony</a>, <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-great-big-world-ps22-chorus-are.html">A Great Big World</a>, <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2014/03/christina-perri.html">Christina Perri</a>, <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2014/10/jason-mraz.html">Jason Mraz</a>, and a host of others! They also gave some amazing TV appearances on <b>The Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda</b> and <b>The View</b>! Speaking of which, here is an awesome unseen highlight of 2014! When the PS22 Chorus was in the green room getting set for their appearance on The View back in January, we found out <b>Sara Bareilles</b> was also guesting that morning -- so putting the pedal to the metal, the kids cranked out this little performance of "<b>Brave</b>" to sing to Sara! Check out her sweet reaction as well as <b>Whoopi Goldberg</b>'s adorable brush with our little famous people!

The holiday season is always best celebrated at PS22 and this year's was no exception! The kids visited <b>Sunrise Assisted Living</b> to sing for our senior friends, and put on an amazing winter concert with some added help of PS22 veterans, <b>Clive</b> & <b>Allie</b>! They even performed a few Christmas selections on <b>The Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda</b>! Check out some video and photo highlights of a wonderful ending to 2014!

<b>Ms. Lisa</b> requested this song a couple of weeks ago, and we decided it was the perfect choice for the <b>PS22</b> <b>Chorus of 2015</b> to sing on <b>Halloween</b>!! It's a PHENOMENAL performance of "<b>Scarecrow</b>" by <b>Alex & Sierra</b>! The new chorus members completely outdid themselves on this one, and were happy to welcome the incredible 4th grader <b>Dapo</b> (brother of <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2014/10/boom-clap-ps22-chorus-of-2015.html">"Boom Clap"</a> soloist <b>Aesha</b>) in on the fun to help out with those really low notes on the solo parts!! Have I mentioned how much I'm loving this new 2015 crew???

On October 14th, the <b>PS22 Chorus of 2015</b> was treated to a visit from the king of indie music, <b>Ariel Pink</b>! (You may remember the <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2011/01/round-and-round.html">PS22 Chorus of 2011 covered Ariel's amazing song, "Round and Round"</a> to astounding effect! Ariel was amazing with the kids -- funny and demonstratively appreciative of the hard work they did tackling his music! The chorus teamed up with him on two of his new songs, "<b>Picture Me Gone</b>" and "<b>Jell-o</b>!" Check out both performances (which include some entertaining excerpts from the Q & A) below!</div>

<b>PS22 Chorus of 2015</b> shows a soulful side with this performance of the new song, "<b>Glorious</b>," by <b>David Archuleta</b>! It's hard to believe sophisticated harmonies like these are coming out of this new group so early on in the school year! On his <b>Twitter</b> page, David Archuleta himself admitted he got the chills from this performance!

<b>PS22 Chorus of 2015</b> tackles the breakout hit from one of our favorite new bands, <b>Echosmith</b>! Soloist <b>Sierra</b> gives a sensitive and thoroughly gorgeous performance on the leads, and the group proves the point with this performance that they don't have to wish.... they're the coolest!<br />

On October 1, <b>The Swon Brothers</b>, who tore it up on <b>NBC's The Voice</b> and are now breaking into the country music scene big time, came to visit the <b>PS22 Chorus of 2015</b>! The guys were incredibly cool, answering questions from the kids and inviting them to join them for a special version of their song, "<b>Pretty Beautiful</b>" that lived up to its namesake! Our two groups also joined forces for one more special performance still to come! <br />

<b>PS22 Chorus of 2015</b> marks its official arrival in a big way with its first video of the year, and the new crew doesn't disappoint!! The kids bring their A-game to <b>Charli XCX</b>'s energetic pop smash, "<b>Boom Clap</b>," with some beautifully executed harmonies, a dreamy unison, a sincere passionate performance, AND featuring a gorgeous solo from new member <b>Aesha</b>! If this is the caliber of performance we can expect from these kids on a regular basis, it's safe to say it's going to be quite a year!! <br />

The <b>PS22 Chorus of 2015</b> takes the record for the earliest debut performance out of any of the previous years' groups! After <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2009/11/mraz-amatazz.html">Jason Mraz</a> contacted us asking for the kids to back him up on a couple of songs at a concert he was giving at <b>St. George Theater</b> right here in Staten Island, we kicked things into high gear to make sure to be ready for the event! And before the full group was even finished being auditioned, the chorus was backing up Jason on two of his songs, "<b>Back To The Earth</b>" and "<b>Plane</b>," and received a well deserved standing ovation at the show!! Check out both amazing performances below and find more pics on our <a href="http://facebook.com/ps22chorus">Facebook page!</a>

<b>The Apollo Theater</b> celebrated it's 80th birthday on June 10th with an incredible all-star concert, and the PS22 Chorus was on hand to help mark the occasion!! The kids, with the help of former PS22 Chorus of 2012 member <b>Kevin</b>, brought down the house performing the classic, "<b>O Happy Day</b>," with none other than the song's creator, <b>Edwin Hawkins</b>, and child prodigy <b>Matthew Whitaker</b> on the keys!! But undoubtedly the most mind-blowing part of the experience took place at soundcheck, <i>before</i> the show even began! R & B legend <b>Gladys Knight</b>, who also happened to be a featured performer at the event, took the time to say hello to the kids while they were rehearsing, and joined them for a special performance of the song!! Fortunately <b>Ms. Lisa</b> had the video camera rolling, so make sure to watch this epic musical moment below!!! <br />

On June 9, the PS22 Chorus was visited by <b>Jack Antonoff</b> (best known as the guitarist from <a href="http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/2012/05/we-are-young-fun-stuff.html">FUN.</a>) and his current band, <b>Bleachers</b>! The kids had a great time singing a couple of the band's songs with Jack, and finding out more about him and his music! Check out the videos below! <br />

The kids joined in on three of their songs with some magnificent harmonies and the band even joined in with us on a couple of our songs as well! Check out four of the highlights from the amazing afternoon with O.A.R.!!! <br />

<b>PS22 Chorus</b> pays tribute to the enormous talent of <b>Tori Amos</b> with this cover of the beautiful song, "<b>Oysters</b>," from her latest album, "<b>Unrepentant Geraldines</b>!" The kids give an epic performance on a difficult piece of music, and the duet of <b>Alyssa</b> & <b>Janiya</b> is simply out of this world!

Hard to believe there's only about a month and a half left before the class of 2014 moves on to intermediate school! Some of my colleagues requested "<b>Best Day Of My Life</b>" by <b>American Authors</b> to be sung as the theme to this year's graduation ceremony. <b>PS22 Chorus</b> (and the extraordinary <b>Juan</b> on lead vocals) demonstrates that this was indeed a wise suggestion.... The kids already got some great feedback from American Authors via Twitter & Facebook, saying, "You all KILLED IT!"
