You don’t need to publish this link, but I thought you might be interested. The guy second from the left is my friend Ry, and he and his mates formed an acapella and they’re really awesome. :D

Well I am going to publish anyways because the arrangements are very, very nice. They arranged it themselves, that is so cool!

Awesome group, thank you for sharing! Hopefully my followers enjoy it just as much as I did!

"Love Song" by Joshua Shank This concert happened during a storm. Check out the appropriately placed thunderclap. Magical!

Ooh I have come to quite like this group lately.  And the thunder clap happened at a spot I wasn’t expecting… I had to rewind to make sure haha It added this nice ethereal grumble in the background. Almost like drums in the distance... Lovely!  Thank you for the submission!

Have you heard of Genesis Sixteen? I'm trying to figure out if it's UK only or not....I'm the biggest of choir need and want to sing this music professionally and want to go do that program so badly

Yes I have and it is UK only. I was looking into it a couple years ago and they state you must be a citizen in the UK to do it. :C Trust me I would love to do that program as well!
