Many thanks to the incredible Tony Piper, who compiled this list. You’ll be seeing a lot of his name in the coming months as he takes on a much larger role in the managing of the Virtual Choir. WOO HOO!

Is the world-record 900 videos, or 900 different people (I can't find the specific people to break the record)? If it's the latter, we still have a LONG way to go – so many of the videos are by the same people. =( Mine is coming soon, but I'm recruiting singers from Pitt and the George Washington University. Let's get some new faces!!

Hey I see me!
I announced it to my choir a couple weeks ago, so hopefully most of them will get on it! :D

Looking forward to seeing other videos… including a couple from my sisters!! We live on opposite ends of the continent and now have a chance to "sing together" on a project. I am so excited!
This is such a beautiful aspect of this project… bringing voices together from all over the world (and uniting family in song, too)
Thanks Eric!!

Number 90! I was really excited to do this I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Luckily we sang Sleep in my choir last year, but we do have a lot of new faces this year who haven't sung it. However, I am trying to convince as many people as I can to join the virtual choir, although so far it seems that I'm the only person in my school who has submitted a video.
I have gotten promises, though.

I'm a 15 year old soprano, and this music is so inspirational to me. All these people from all over the world coming together to sing one song…… Amazing :)
