I'm so glad that Scott and Ben decided to do these videos - what a gift for all of us, but especially for Nolans' family. At some point, further down the track when their grief is more manageable they will have these beautiful arrangements to treasure. I'm sure right now they would be too difficult to watch - but to have them for the future is something that I'm sure they will be so grateful for. Thanks QoFy - such a respectful reaction for Nolan's talent and for his friends and family. X

Thanks Jo

[@richtsje9961]

Thank you for honering Nolan and giving him so much respect . I really appreciate your emotional reaction ( made me cry with you ). He was such a talent and far too young !! Love and hugs to you and all his family and friends . Little consolation is that he has already made a lot of music that we can enjoy ! Not to forget how great and talented the kids of Acapop!KIDS are, as you said , the are just PTX ( only a mini version )!

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you it’s the least we can do

[@sheilawallerseibert461]

Exactly. There are no words. His journey ended too soon. 💔

[@QofyReacts]

Too soon

[@jayholland2632]

15 years old is too damn young. 😭😭😭😭

[@QofyReacts]

Too young man

[@berlyn3014]

Thank you for your reaction. I love the tribute video but it makes me tear up. Such a great talent gone way too soon.

So sad

@@QofyReacts Nolan, Preston (the bass) and many more of the Acapop Kids attend or attended Avi Kaplans Acapella Academy!!. Avi and his friends started this Academy in the early years of PENTATONIX. Before PTX Avi had majored music/opera but he also wanted to be a vocal teacher. He has done it everytime he had a chance while in PTX and he is still teaching aside from his solo career! Some of the ladies of Citizen Queen also attended Avi's school.

[@teachao8100]

The comments in your previous reactions are partially correct. Upon the initial casting of Acapop! Kids there were around 20 kids. After their initial casting though they continued to add more talented kid singers. The number is now more closer to about 25-35 kids in the Acapop! Kid cast. Some more fun facts: Every single music video they've posted so far aside from their mini covers and This City were all filmed in 2018 with Shallow, High Hopes and Valerie being some of the first songs to be recorded and produced. With all the songs of their first album being recorded in 2018 and early 2019 they were ready for release by late 2019. They however chose to release them more randomly and not by the order they were record in thus why some of the repeat kids look younger in one video but older in another. With Acapop! rotating their members for each cover they produce, when recording This City for Nolan's tribute they had every single Acapop! Kid appear in the video. To this date This City is the only video they've released with all of their members present. I will say, how you felt after watching This City was exactly how I felt especially being a supporter and viewer of the Acapop! Kid since the beginning. It hit really tough and the vibe Nolan's cast mates and friends gave off while singing made it tougher not to be emotional during the whole video.

[@QofyReacts]

It’s so sad

[@chrisabel1833]

QoFy, I was crying before you started the second video. The intro was enough. The video is ... amazing and heartbreaking both.

[@QofyReacts]

So sad

[@JoSedunary]

Ben Bram is truly an arrangement genius - their cover of Fix You is beautiful...Into the Unknown is a vocal showcase.

[@QofyReacts]

I will check it out

[@mmg8823]

You may have had "nothing to say" but your reaction said a lot. You are sincerely, profoundly saddened by the death of a child you just met a few days ago. It shows how deeply, and quickly, Nolan touched your heart. Words often fail in these situations but thank you for visibly demonstrating how many of us feel.

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@Catherine.Catherine]

Hey QoFy, giving you a virtual hug 🤗. He left us far too soon 😭 😭. But thankfully there’s a whole load of other videos with Nolan in them. But they do have another beatboxer - a girl who goes by the stage name Ultrasonic. She’s not done as many Acapop videos as Nolan, but she’s amazing - if you wanna see her check out A!K’s cover of Breathin by Ariana Grande. Or if you need another Nolan fix, how about the first song they ever released, High Hopes.

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you Catherine :( too soon! And I will check them out

Ptxs arranger Ben Bram also arranges for Acapop kids. If I'm not mistaken it was the brainchild of Scott and ben. However Avi worked with Nolan as well. Avi has an acapella academy camp every summer and Nolan was there at least 2 summers.

[@mmg7843]

I believe that Preston, the guy doing the bass, has “aged out” of the group, as has Tanner, who did the second solo here. I think the cutoff is age 16. I hope there is somewhere else they can go. That little girl who is your favorite is Celine Ngo. She did a video you might enjoy just watching. It’s a bit too random to react to, in my opinion. It’s obviously done by a child but you can see them, including Nolan, in non-performance mode.

[@fosixsix225]

I thought the same thing too but Aubree is 16 and said she’s not leaving and Preston and Aubree were both in the “this city” music video and they’ve been 16 for months now. If they don’t leave now that they’re 16, they might change the age to 18 idk how it works now

[@mmg7843]

@@fosixsix225 I thought exceptions were made because it is a tribute to Nolan. ??

@@mmg7843 idk because someone told me Aubree said she wasn’t leaving

[@teachao8100]

Yes the age to age out of Acapop! Kids is 16. Though they never clarified on that rule, so we don't know if it means once they turn 16 or as they are no longer 16 years old they will age out. All we know is that Acapop! Kids cast members are to age out at 16. Currently Aubree, Preston and Tanner are on that chopping block to age out, but I feel once any of their members is about to age out they will post on social media about it and there hasn't been word of anyone aging out yet so until then, we wait.

[@fonzinieveras8771]

If you follow them on Instagram, you’ll see that both Aubree and Preston are still part of the shoots for the upcoming Acapop music videos, so we don’t exactly know when they’ll age out.

[@lexymich3647]

This is why I didn't watch the other one you did but didn't tell you.
