The Five Strings Video Shoot

Reganne's Choir Class had a special visitor Mrs. Kohler the former choir director from Little Valley Elementary Choir.  A good portion of the kids this class were her former students.  She invited them to help her out on a Christmas video shoot for a local family that performs "The Five Strings".  She needed help with from her former students to come to the recording studio and sing on the main track before the actual filming.  

Missing school for the day was an added bonus.  I stepped inside the studio to pick her up and was blown away at the music coming from 20 kids crammed into a small studio  

Practice schedule

They had a couple more practices but the big day was on Friday.  Reganne was amazed at how much work was going into perfecting each part of the song.

Friday afternoon arrived overcast, chilly, and a little bit windy.  They continued to practice and move around the football field.  After the dinner break it was time to record.  However, the wind picked up and was soon gusting forcing everyone to stop.  Could they continue tonight??  They gathered together and offered a quick prayer for help.  The wind slowed down and they were able to continue.

One more take...

Patiently waiting
and freezing

The kids were so patient and willingly did what ever was asked of them.  They were promised cookies and hot chocolate at the end.  First we need to go through the whole thing one more time.  They finally called it a wrap!!!!  Food for everyone!!!!

Reganne had fun but was surprised at how much hard work it takes.  We can't wait to see the final product.

And here it is.......

All the kids did an amazing job.  Enjoy!!!!!
