The Amazing Children of PS 22 Chorus of Staten Island



"The PS 22 Chorus of Staten Island NY, and their charismatic teacher Mr. B is comprised of 70 public school 5th graders.

They've performed for notables such as Tori Amos, Marcia Gay Harden, Sen. Charles Schumer, George Huff, CNN's Paula Zahn and others. This blog is about these extraordinary children...."

We are always hearing about what's wrong about American kids but these kids show us what's right. The fund raiser Idol did this season, was wonderful and wouldn't it be great if Idol raised money for music for American kids. As we all know, funds for music in public schools has been eradicated to the point of extinction.




While the children of PS 22 Chorus are gifted vocally others require instruments and they need your help. This link will take you to the Mr Holland's Opus Foundation, that provides instruments to kids who need them. If you want details on what they do watch this special video.
