[@djm4457]

I've got to add ...how incredibly tight and spot on the players are. Note for note. Dead on. And the richness in this production just makes the excellence come alive. In a way even the original doesn't possess, I'm my humble opinion. The keys and guitars (3 guitars really add depth to the sound!) are excellent, and the rhythm section drives this song with a vengeance. Add the awesome vocals, and it all adds up to an incredible performance.

There has to be some autotune.

[@Cowboy340]

I love to see the entire group gel so well together! What is most impressive is one individual who was in the groove with each instrument on stage, to include her keyboard as well! Rock on kids

[@maksphoto78]

Yes, this a fantastic get-together. School of Rock in Chicago did their job well! Keep coming back thos this and playing it LOUD!

[@alanmerritt860]

Love that keyboardist. Would love to see professionals get that much into their music.

[@parsamousavi5260]

Seems pretty much everybody else in the scene is getting into the music as well!

[@eternalme6077]

Come On Man.......SIGN THEM UP!!! Wow, I had to pick my Jaw up off the floor, Everyone in this Band is just KILLING IT!!! Of Course the Front Man...I Mean WOMEN, What a Voice, I mean Talk about Range, Power, Pitch, Timbre, she sings with AUTHORITY. Then there's the Drummer, you talk about Solid, He could EASILY Play with ANY Band, he would also be one of the Top Session Players in the bizz. Just a Great Band all Around...... Every time I watch one of these Vids, they NEVER STOP BLOWING MY MIND! Ive been in my fair share of bands along the way, and it was alot of FUN, so its really Cool to see these young Musicians ENJOY Playing Music of OUR GENERATION AND HAVING A LOT OF FUN.......REALLY COOL! Thank you for Posting this KILLER VID..... 🎸💚

A couple of things I'd like to interject: If we, and I mean all of us, approached life with such an unbridled passion and love of simply being alive as much as the keyboard player did, we'd be so much better at being human beings than we are now. Also, there is a very magical feeling when one is able to participate in the making of music. When one is able to lend their talents to the production of musical notes and vocal harmonies, the spirit and the mind experience such an vast array of pleasures, it's almost indescribable. Lastly, if there IS such a thing as reincarnation, my wish would be to return as a member of this exquistly talented group of young adults! Well done people. Well done!

Well said

[@chrisf8904]

Very fine wording sir. I concur. I got into music late in life.... I wonder, looking at these youthful wizards, what could have been if it had been earlier.... no regrets though, i'm not too shabby without the rockstar impetus.

[@upToTheMike]

Every one of you nailed it! Love how you put every muscle in your body into your voice Eliza.

[@odetecolaco5178]

That's music is of my time when I had 7 years old. Today I have 41 years old. Congratulations, band! Eliza, you are a big singer! I love your voice!!!

[@BradentonSlick]

OMG! If Europe ever needs a day off, you guys could step in. Kudos especially to: Lead singer, Lead guitarist, and Keyboardist in rainbow t-shirt. The keyboardist looks like she had more fun than is legal, LOL.

[@ftm3563]

Absolutely brilliant version of “The Final Countdown”!! I’m totally chocked about how this are so similar to the original! Good work!

[@reformcongress]

I think this might be the best vocals on all the School of Rock videos. The energy is up there for all those. The best School of Rock Video I've seen so far.

[@ncci70ie]

They chose the right people to perform this classic cover. Its sooooo good. Love the vocal lead, she truly has what it takes to sing this song and gave a great performance. Loved it a lot. Great job everyone.

[@jameshopkins4460]

Keyboard girl finally gets to play the song where she is front and center. Goes HAM. Lives in infamy.

[@jlucasound]

I'm in Love.

Like that line from 'Born to Boogie' - "When I turned fifteen I was stealing the show."

She’s the same as your HAM comment…totally awesome!!!

[@tonyford4170]

@@jlucasound me too, she is gorgeous, as are the lead singer and the singer with the glasses and curly hair ❤️

Girl on the keyboards: YOU ARE AMAZING!!! Never let anyone tell you otherwise

[@SBZ5809]

This is "performance based music education", and she's playing to a (currently non-existent) audience.

[@charlyarroyo1432]

She's on fire

[@muffs55mercury61]

They are just amazing.

[@L3x4Pr0ne]

@@SBZ5809I’m the audience and she knew it. And I was entertained af.

[@jasonscott6478]

These young people do this number as well as the original. Fantastic.

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

I was pleasantly STUNNED by the quality of this cover. Adding to my playlist of favorite individual music tracks.

[@1ytcommenter]

[@rayberczik7251]

Damn it's good to see that good music is appreciated by generation after generation and played with enthusiasm and accuracy!! Well done!!

[@arno-luyendijk4798]

Oh. My. Gosh. The guitar in the part just before the first vocal and then the singing part starting had me in goosebumps in 1 second. You guys all did a GREAT job! Keep giving rock music to the following generations!!!
