Hip-hop senior choir

By Brian Shrader

Posted: Nov. 17, 2008

Unfortunately, we don't know much about this choir of senior citizens who do a hip-hop medley.

The person who posted the video on YouTube this month wrote the following:

This was the opening video for our Student Fall Retreat called "You've Got Talent." Everyone is asking what inspired this. Here is goes... 1) We needed a great opening video that caught everyone off guard, and set the the tone for the weekend. 2) With this idea in mind, we thought we could use this video as a great object lesson about media choices (kinda creepy hearing your grandparents sing some of this), and 3) this has been a GREAT transgenerational culture experiment. It has totally bridged a gap with our Senior adults and our students. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks to Crystal on our crew for passing this one along!
