The pre-recorded video to which the students and guests will sing-along features a high school percussionist and choir member, a U.S. Army Band member and an American Idol participant turned math teacher.
The 2012 concert program includes “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Discussin’ Percussion,” “Rock Island Line,” “Feel the Beat,” “El Vito,” “Dona Nobis Pacem,” and “Everlasting Melody.“
Students from 26 states will take part in the concert, which will be livestreamed. Visit the National Association for Music Education website for details.
