@@annedonnellan6876 Glee Clubs are show choir's, something very different. When I was in high school in the 1970s, the student body numbered about 1,300. 750 were in the Music Department. We had a 212 voice Senior (SATB) Choir, Junior (SATB) Choir, Men's (TTBB) Choir, Ladies' (SSAA) Choir, Senior Orchestra, Junior Orchestra, Jazz Band, Chamber Orchestra, and for special performances, the Massed Choirs and Orchestras. 750 students on stage in the school auditorium. For Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, alumni in the audience were invited on stage. There could be a thousand musicians. It was quite something.

It's amazing to watch the maturation of this choir in the videos posted, from their debut then Britain's Got Talent 7 now this breathtaking finale performance for Her Majesty's Coronation Festival. The boys voices are both elegant & dynamic at the same time and the soloists selected perfectly, just fantastic. But the real credit has to go to Tim Rhys-Evans and the captains of the 10 local choirs and this exceptional combined group. Still hoping for an American tour someday. Simply marvelous!

Our first rehearsal just blew my mind. Subsequently I learned of the Welsh tradition of male choruses and wished that I had been born across the seas so that I might have spent my teen years in a group like this. Well done, lads!

It takes a lot of discipline and self-discipline for a group like this to be able to perform so proudly and so happily. You have to practice, practice, practice. You have to follow a diet on the day of the performance, above all you have to want to do it! As a mother of two who sang from elementary school through high school, attending many rehearsals and performances 3-4 nights/days a week, drivIng car pools, chaperoning performance road trips, being there for kids whose parents could not be there...to see a performance like this and know what all goes into it is so rewarding and brings much cheer and good memories and pride to my heart.

The BBC should have set up an overhead camera to capture more close up footage of the boys along with their music director Tim Rhys-Evans MBE. Cheers from Canada to Only Boys Aloud!!
