Wow, the HS choir really missed the boat on that one! SMH Good for you you all kept going! 👏👏👏🙏

[@scrambler6281]

What a back story. I’ve been subscribed to their channel ever since hearing their version of The Prayer. Every song they do is beautiful ❤. Unbelievable that she didn’t make the choir!😳

[@richardwhite2344]

I agree 100% It is insane that Savanna did not make the choir, With a voice like she has, that is insane!!

[@nansie7697]

I have wanted to sing a special solo in church many years, I have a good voice too (choir). Now after what Mat said I have to do it

[@ecbrent2]

If she'd made the choir, maybe you wouldnt be where you are today. Things happen (or don't happen) for a reason. Either way, I'm so grateful you posted that first video and for every video/song after that one.

Love the story where it all started x

[@jeanling603]

I remember the first song the Prayer , many more beautiful sung songs❤. It was the choirs loss. Xx

[@arranadams2776]

They are truly magical

The Choir teacher must be dismissed by now !

[@nansie7697]

💕🙏👏WOW!! I like what Mat said about fear. I like Savanna's dark hair. Yes, I have the first cd and more

[@rosiegalvan5069]

Savanna looks terrible with dark hair. It ages her. Go back to your original hair. It's a much better look for you. And cut it a little shorter.

[@mattlantzy5093]

The choir teacher is like "oh crap." Yet, I always think everything happens for a reason. If she had made the choir, would everything that's happened since then happened the way it has?

When you push through adversity it always leads to something greater!

[@sunflowerfields4409]

Wow! What was that choir director thinking? I want to know who DID make it because Savanna is awesome. (and so is Mat) :)

[@ecbrent2]

Good question lol

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

She’s adorable, but what happened to her hair? Didn’t make choir? That’s crazy.

[@dirkhoekstra727]

Ever heard of hair dye?

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

@@dirkhoekstra727 No, what’s that?

[@dirkhoekstra727]

@@guermeisterdoodlebug7980 I can't figure out if you are now serious with this question or if you are trying to take me for a fool...

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

@@dirkhoekstra727 Similarly, I was unsure whether you were seriously questioning whether I had ever heard of hair dye or just being snarky. Regardless, I suspect we both have far more important things with which to concern ourselves. My original comment probably should have been something like, “I liked your hair more in its naturally beautiful color than dark as in this video,” rather than my comment causing someone to believe that I really had no idea how it suddenly became dark. My bad. Over and done.

[@gpenrod5221]

"Savanah didn't make it into the choir". You have to understand the choir. The HS that she went to has probably one of the most profound choirs I've ever heard in the HS level. I don't know if they have tons of kids trying or not, but the kids they have are singing some amazing songs with amazing levels of difficulty and quality. That background given, why they passed on Savanah is beyond me. But maybe it had to do with her shyness and not her skills.

[@lilimarlene313]

Yikes! What did you do to your hair? Go back to the blonde with highlights. This color is too harsh for you.

[@teresagrosboll1508]

I think her hair is beautiful!

[@sandimoo]

I love it!
