The kids who performed at the Oscars finale tonight at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, California definitely stole the show. Known as the PS22 Chorus, the Staten island school kids came to Los Angeles and performed the song, ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ from the Wizard of Oz movie at the end of the show.
Gracing the stage and keeping in perfect pitch, the kids didn’t seem a bit stage fright. As the audience was warned to be enthusiastic for the final number, there was no reason to worry as the performance did something that the awards didn’t do: it brought everyone together in a movie memory of warmth, love and delight. Which is exactly why we celebrate the movies in the first place.
The kids from the PS22 Chorus didn’t just work this week at the Kodak theater rehearsing. In fact, they were sightseeing all around the community. We ran into the smiling faces down at Disneyland earlier in the week and none of the kids looked a bit worried about the live performance on television and they even performed in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle for the locals.
The PS22 Chorus is a fifth-grade school choir has become a YouTube sensation and was invited to sing at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
