Thank you lads for the honor you paid to the young men who died there and too those that came home again changed by what they endured.

An absolute brilliant choir. Even I live in Germany I´ve been several times at the academi Concerts. The boys are singing with so much passion and Tim i the best Choir leader I have ever met. I want to wish this choir all the best and I´m looking forward to see the Academi Concerts this year too.

Yper must be the total shock experience for young people of the great-grandchild generation in the 21st century and make a lasting impression! I hope the boys went to see the "In Flanders Fields" museum and also visited trenches. My great-grandfather fought there straight after leaving secondary school as a young officer on the German side for Kaiser Wilhelm II's megalomania, and although he came back with 2 arms and legs and a whole head (not a given!), he was traumatised for the rest of his life.

You guys are amazing! Words can not describe how inspiring your singing and what you stand for is. I have just discovered you and can't stop listening. I wish you all the best. With best wishes from Canada!

It's wonderful to see so many young lads coming up in OBA. Their own expressions of heart for what they sing is so beautiful, fresh and sincere. Great job Tim. Gene from Orlando Florida, USA

Really great to see you guys again. Thanks for this and it’s special to see a new bunch of boys growing and doing something with their youth and opportunities OBA and Tim have given them. Hugs from South Africa

Thank you for posting this wonderful video. You're all amazing. Such a lot of emotion and sentiment. Yes, I have tears in my eyes :) Beautiful.

[@gramps2matt]

I'm wondering if OBA would consider doing an arrangement of Beautiful Savior drawing from the Christianson arrangement? I'd like to hear that on one of your videos...heck I'd like to see more videos regardless of the compositions you'd select.

[@DragoonEnNoir]

Was one of the songs they were singing at Ypres "Nearer, My God, to Thee"?

[@susannebrunberg4174]

I do think so. It was just such a short clip, and they often sing in their own style and in several voices... but it was alike what we sing here
