  1. Holy moly! That was an AMAZING performance! Everything was just so precise and on pitch. They even did it acapella which was even more mind blowing. I can totally see why they are the champions. There were a lot of men performing, I can just imagine the amount of time and effort that each of those men had to put in. Everyone did their thing full out, and the whole performance was just a joy to watch. I thought when the band came out and they magically changed their clothes was the best part! It was so entertaining! Great video. :)

  2. That performance was amazing. Whever choreographed this is a genius and must have a lot of time on their hands, all joking aside that was beautiful and had some cool surprises. They had dancing, lifting people up, illusions, and all did that while keeping a the same harmony. The better have won. wow. I love the way they work as a team and the ilusion that happens in any angle you look at their performance. The look like a huge family and sound like one too. The teamwork shown is a 10 out of 10 already. Maybe because they work together so perfectly their performance is so inspiring. Too bad, I keep expecting to see a woman somewhere. But, the way they changed their clothes so fast made me wanna replay it again to see how they did it. I also love the way they tell a a story in the song to like how they brought out that chinese gong thing. I loved it ^-^

  3. Wow (: Love iT! At first I was a little bored but as they got to the end, the group really gave a GRAND finally. I enjoyed the team work and creativity. Their outfits were FLY :) it was awesome how they just ripped it of with perfect timing to shine those sparkly orange vests. The group sang and danced together and had so many line ups. they looked like marching ants or something, staying in line and following one another. The performance was cool. Thats all i gots ta say. ThE eNd...

  4. That performance kept getting better and better. The song 76 trombones is a song that I once performed in an elementary school play. We didn't sing that song for as long as them, but listening to that song brought back memories. I really like how they went the extra length to add props and dance moves. That really got the crowd going and the surprise of them suddenly changing their attire really was clever. I always loved chorus songs. The harmony along with the melody really brings out the emotion of the song. I think that it's much better than the popular song artists you hear today. A single singer doesn't compare to a chorus of singers in harmony.

  5. Thats amazing that they have a harmony with so many people, it makes it have an echo sound back. This is a cool performance because of the harmony shared between so many people and the coreography is really cool looking. The surprises they put into the performance where introduced smoothly or with the beat of the song. The color play is very contrast making them bolder or more eye apealing. This is a fun and obviously very well planned performance, which makes it amazing :)

  6. That was amazing I absolutly loved it! when I saw it I thought they were going to just stand and sing but I didn't expect them to start walking around. This chorus was full of surprises like how they changed their clothes. they all looked like they were having fun singing and acting. The song they were singing I think was called 76 Trumbones, I know it because my sister did this song in elementary school. Anyway these guys were awesome and had great singing voices.
