Chamber Choir NYC Trip - Christmas 2011 - Grand Central Station

During our wait for the train back home, our kids were still singing -- where do you get your energy -- you guys are amazing!

Here are the videos that an onlooker took and posted to youtube:

"Super cool high school kids I caught singing in Grand Central Just before Christmas 2011."





"Newington High students graced Grand Central in December 2011 with their great singing and super personalities. They brought the spirit of Christmas to everyone who was lucky enough to hear them!"
