Ayy I'm a soprano too but in 8th and in honor choir and singing this for All-northwest auditions

[@B1sD4k_got_the_milk]

I’m also in soprano for me it can be fun to sing except for the fact that the altos in my class either don’t want to sing or have no idea what they’re doing and it can get frustrating

I did this song last year for a choir performance and it’s literally my favorite choir song we’ve done, mainly cause it’s just so fun when it’s put together

[@Chillingwithcharlie78]

My band teacher gave us this song. The sad part is she's possibly cutting it from our songs because some of the other kids need the piano to sing it. None of us want to get rid of the song because it's a fun song 😭😭😭

[@davidwalter2002]

My choral group sang this recently in our celebration of international music, "United We Sing." Love this song! Such energy! Such a beautiful message to encourage the joy of singing.

[@DannieGaming17]

ok so we sung this in choir and my friend and i decided it was cursed bc we translated the lyrics and it talked about stealing children. tHEN we looked at our new choir song and the first soprano part in the new song has a part that sounds EXACTLY like the first soprano part at the end of this song where it says “bonse aba, bonse abaaaaaa!” AND IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THAT NOW WE’RE TERRIFIED
