The kids have a blast, lame pun intended, with Katy Perry's "Firework" at Friday's press conference, promoting PS22's upcoming appearance at the Oscars! Denise does a fantastic job standing in for an absent-from-school-that-day Kurria!
UPDATE: This video is featured in Katy Perry's "Part of Me" documentary!

Thank you PS22 for doing what you do. I came here to tell you that your voices were played all day today at my niece Raelyn Cutbirth's Celebration of life ceremony. She passed away at age 4 from cancer (rhabodmyosarcoma). This was her favorite version of this song and so we celebrated her life by playing it during every part of the service. Thank you for bringing her joy and for allowing all of us to feel it today too. What your passionate about matters to other people, even if you don't know it.

I just love how they’re allowed to move and have fun 😭 I remember getting in trouble so much for moving when I was in chorus 😂

Every time I listen to the ps 22 chorus I always feel emotional and have a knot in my throat and the occasional shower of tears of joy and happiness. Mr. B you have created a wonderful chorus and opportunity for elementary school kids to show their talent.

[@micheller2015]

She used this in her movie!

[@Bita1998]

These kids are all so amazing, all their good energy just rubs off on you! Listening to them makes my day! Thank You so much for posting these videos!

I love when Azaria sings but watching her sing the chorus is just as uplifting. I love how they support each other, giving high fives before the song. Just beautiful sounds and actions. What wonderful kids!!

My favorite part of the Oscars. I love the song Over the Rainbow. The enthusiasm of these 5th graders was amazing. All the movement brings the words alive. Visually and musically beautiful. Wow! What potential. Congratulations to these students' music teacher who has a heart for kids and a fantastic musical talent. Thank you for bringing these young singers to the stage. I'd love to see them there every year.

This choir is awesome! I hope these kids take these experiences that they've been granted and use them as fuel to be the best they can be. I remember being in choir when I was that age into my teens, and those memories do not go away. Much kudos to the music director. Continue doing what you do, my man. It will be memembered long after we are all gone. Thanks for sharing your's and these kids' gift with us!

I love how much enthusiasm these kids have. They are so invested in the music and they're expressions and colour and just overall performances are so fun to watch. There are truly talented kids here, and I love watching you guys! Keep up the wonderful music and... Danggg great soloist! I agree w/ the person who commented (that has the highest rated comment right now) Thank you for keeping the arts alive in schools. It shows how important this kind of stuff is. Thumbs all the way up!

[@wildtard7006]

Dang, these kids sing better than I do. I sound like a dying donkey..

[@justusvanleeuwen4333]

OMG THIS MEKES ME SOOO HAPPY, NO MORE WORDS NEEDED, NO MORE WORDS ARE THERE TO SAY ABOUT IT

[@Grassyfieldsflowers]

I think this is my favourite video on the whole of KZbin 👏I play clarinet, piano, and i'm quite selective with what i listen to as there's a lot of boring music out there-but PS22 chorus gets me right in the heart! You are all incredible and your harmony's make any song sound fantastic. When the soloist sings "baby you're a firework" that just sends amazing shock waves into my musical heart because she is so good! Keep going, music is amazing and so powerful and such a joy lifter! Fabulous to have a music teacher leading you to sing and express yourselves like that!

Baby YOU'RE a firework! Just saw you guys on TV News this morning here in Australia!! Amazing! Every single one of you are going to go very far in life. Beautiful work Mr V. (hope that's right) What a fantastic teacher to encourage these young lives to carry and follow their dreams. I could only hope that my daughter finds someone as inspiring as you to encourage her confidence. Inspiring! beautiful work guys.
