As a long-time high-school choir member, every single successive frame becomes personally jarring beyond comprehension when considering the sheer amount of hours of training and choreography that must have went into this, regardless of efficiencies afforded by natural talent and skill. An incredible cover; arrantly flabbergasting in quality of all respects, especially the passion delivered. As a fellow South African, I cannot help but fill with pride and reverence in direct response to the effort and masterpiece I have just witness unfold

Dit is egter die totale samevoeging van al julle stemme en julle almal se uitstekende stemkaleidoskoop wat hierdie vertoning so puik maak. Voeg daarby die goeie kamera werk en die hele vertoning en produksie is eenvoudig eersteklas!!! Wel gedaan julle. Dit toon maar net weereens hoeveel talent daar in ons lieflike land en in ons sogenaamde platteland verskuil is. Puik julle, PUIK!!!
