ps1's turn

PS1 is our Lower East Side Satellite and have been with the program for years! Amy is conducting again, and Elizabeth is asking the audience to listen how many parts the second song, Hine Ma Tov, is in. They're singing Manx Lullabye now.

BTW 3 of these Satellite Schools are going to do the NYSSMA competition next week. The last time we did that, we got gold and silver.

hs489 and hs515 -- 2nd song

Jon Holden is conducting now, the kids are performing We Belong. We have a good number of new immigrant students from Asia in this batch, mostly from HS515. The Satellite Program continues to reach out to diverse communities throughout the 5 boroughs. And get them singing and having fun in our multicultural family. Glad to have you guys on the program!

hs489 and hs515 in the house

We have been singing treble voices, but now these are high school kids, so their voices have changed and you will hear (or imagine) some lower voices and a wider range. This is the biggest group of HS students we've ever had -- 33 on stage.

Sophia Miller is conducting. They're singing Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You. YPC also sang this at the 9/11 Memorial. Lovely and heartbreaking.

Wow, these kids are TALL.

live blog of YPC Satellite Concert

We are live blogging YPC's Satellite Schools Concert from the 92nd Street Y. Stay tuned. HS489 and HS515 are coming next!

ps/is178q -- 2nd song

The 178 kids are singing Paul Read's Birdsong. Ah Spring. Actually, it's early summer, but it feels so youthful here. BTW, this is the school's first year in the program. They sound like they've been singing with us forever. Great work, Amy.

ps/is178q in the house

Now it's PS/IS178Q in the house! Amy Kotsonis is conducting. These kids come all the way from Jamaica Estates, Queens. Some of them have accessorized their YPC t-shirts -- talk about great fashion sense! They're singing Allan Naplan's Al Shlosha D'Varim, a really sweet song.

Wow, I just counted 57 kids on stage. You rock, 178!

ps 268 on stage

John Hatfield opens Irving Berlin's Blue Skies with some rocking drums -- boy, these kids can swing. And they're only in grades 3-5!
