Kusimama



Julia was in our school district's Elementary Honor Choir.  Kids from each school auditioned, and their teachers chose the top 2 kids from each 5th grade class to sing together in one choir.  Julia has been practicing with her own classmates for about 2 weeks (the kids mostly learned the songs on her own from a CD) and only had one day-long practice with the whole group (all day today before the concert).  They really sounded amazing!  Kusimama is Swahili for Stand Tall & it's mostly in Swahili except for a bit of English in the middle.  Her group is in the blue/grey (looks purple'ish in the video) behind the piano.  A very cool experience!!
