[@coopervittetoe8713]

It's been over two years since I was a part of this choir, and every time I watch this, it gives me chills! This song will always stay special with me!!

Cooper Vittetoe Hey we were in the UNI festival together! I never made All-State that year, but man this is so cool!

You can see the love these students have for this music and each other in their shining faces! Beautiful.

Such a moving, gorgeous performance! 4:29 -- look how many kids are wiping tears from their eyes

This is absolutely beautiful. It touched my heart.

So beautiful. Reminds me of the touching scene in 'In her shoes' where the beautiful Cameron Diaz is reading out loud to her sister the poem 'I carry your heart' from E. E. Cummings. Makes this even more touching to me...

Beautiful!

Here's the (lovely) sonnet by E. E. Cummings, of which he uses only a few lines, but very effectively: i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
