"I did it all", that's a powerful line. May we live without regret!

[@mcicogni]

They're not just awesome, not just world class musicians, not just a sample of the finest the human race has to offer: these wonderful kids have a truckload of fun singing, too.

[@Lily-ed2sc]

I'd like to see this choir do a cover of the sound of silence

[@kellicarlton2071]

Ooooooh...yeah!

[@jillp1840]

Brilliant suggestion. Love that song; love this choir. No-one could do it justice after S&G (Disturbed comes a very close second) but Stellenbosch? Stellenbosch could elevate that song in ways I don't yet know exist.

[@Lily-ed2sc]

@@jillp1840 pentatonix also did a cover. You should check it out. It sounds good as well. I really think Stellenbosch Choir can do a very good job with that song

[@jillp1840]

@@Lily-ed2sc Oh yes; I enjoy listening to Pentatonix too. Thanks for the reminder!
