like two years about yeah what's your
story though my story I'm I'm a music
fan music fan I grew up listening to
amboy's choir I am from Montreal Canada
and one of my cousins introduced me to
one of the early Miami choir albums I
think it must have been uh
or Tara today and I just I was crazy and
for me to say come pick up the kids and
take them to choir practice I was like
great anyways I got some music you guys
wanna listen to something
[Music]
fireworks
[Music]
foreign
and you're learning these dance moves
which I'm sure are not easy
yeah a lot of patience do you do you
does your smell like tape the dance
moves and send them home with you that
you should watch or you no you have to
learn them live outside
for himself and also when we first come
in because maybe some people forgot it
so it tapes it so we could re-watch it
and we're like and everybody goes oh you
guys you gotta pick up your Camille you
know what that means it'll be on your
best behavior oh yeah and you got to go
to the back I'll go to the back no
everybody else
no everyone's gonna stay here let's just
uh switch over
yeah
how you doing boys
it's unbelievable opportunity you could
get a ride here directly to choir
practice
I hope you're not gonna start calling me
every week well we'll see how good of a
drive you are because they were very
very you know really yeah behaved very
well almost like the man was choir
involved yeah but uh you don't know what
the old kids were believe me you're
right you know it wasn't until you did
the Rev after we got to peek a little
bit behind some of the traveling and
everything no no I could tell your
stories where we went on a trip I went
to Europe
and uh this goes back to 1980 Something
and uh we're doing this unbelievable
tour and after a show I think it was an
Antwerp somebody come out somebody tells
me you know what uh
a kid is standing and dancing on top of
a bus
and I said what was I went outside and
this kid it was a little hyperactive was
dancing a type of bus so you don't know
what was going on
are you seat belts people here oh it's
seat belts listen safety first right yes
100 so what's the story you have any
music yeah let's go guys
foreign
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
thank you
oh
[Music]
I'm playing forever you know because
suspended we don't resolve to the court
I was gonna say was this song Hard
teaching it to the kids because they
would have that little uh phrase catch
the beginning yeah they learned it right
away
it's like you know the talented kids
somebody was teaching for 10 years goes
through hundreds of students thousands
of students you're doing the choir for
40 years right do you have a number
amounts of how many kids actually went
through the quad I don't know I don't
know it's Gotta mean to thousands uh
every choir you got a green like Bible
just in case you want to know New York
someone's gonna honk okay yeah I'll go
I'll look at it or they think you're on
your phone or they think
so 25 to 30 kids in a choir sometimes 35
right each choir
stays in for about uh three years okay
and then this overlap of new choir
correct so if you've got 40 years hmm
well it's probably let's say
just four years it's got to be like
about
14 groups because over the years that's
got to be about five six seven hundred
yeah something like easily yeah try it
out from
ten thousand
I don't even think about that I'm just
trying to think about having the quiet
if you can imagine you track down every
kid in the choir and got them together
for a performance pick up the whole
stage yeah well you talk about all the
kids that used to be in the Houston yeah
everybody
saying that I should do a reunion right
the problem is we need of which year
that's the problem yeah reunions to
their fathers you either their
grandfathers already yeah we're Union of
who where is it gonna be held right I
need a place with fifty thousand Miami
school Jewish song I guess when the
building goes up eventually when the
building goes up it stands still who's
in 1983 people gonna hang out with the
1996 people they don't know who they are
but they have this connection with the
stickers we have a song from the olden
days that we can actually do what do you
got what do you got what do you got I
have lots of those you got a lot of your
cigaras
you gotta do War like this switch I
gotta switch you gotta not hit the car
I have a double a hard job
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
to everybody
[Music]
[Applause]
let's go I remember that I do remember
this I told them now come on
[Music]
choreography movement's gone
something like that I don't remember
what does it take for you what are you
what are you looking for what qualities
oh
a really bad voice is a starting point
that's the starting it must have been
him right oh it's just you know I don't
know what it is why but no look listen
kid has to be a Miami kid what's a Miami
kid Miami kid sort of it means in the
winter he goes with his family right
that's usually what it means right but
in this situation a Miami kid is some oh
God I got I got a phone call in the
middle of a carpool karaoke terrible I
don't know anyway you know we got to get
to the quiet practice in a few minutes
right you know because I know I really
appreciate you picking everybody up so
we're gonna go back around that right
but anyway the next year question a
Miami kid is sort of like has has his
act together the enemies got a singing
he knows how to sing he holds himself
the way he understands how to deal with
other kids he has his behavior together
and you can tell that from rehearsal
what second he's got his learning he
learns to Yeshiva well this is a Miami
all around he's got his act together so
he checked all their market report cards
and made sure backgrounds
no I hired a private investigator to
make sure
right yeah but I tell you what it is
it's just the uh
to be really straight with you yeah when
you when a kid tries out
I could pretty much tell most about the
kid in the first 30 seconds really not
sometimes I get surprised later on you
know everybody's like a kid dancing on
the bus
you're a vocal teacher for children at a
very hard age when they're trying to
learn how to use their voices you know
how to sing but they have to know how to
they're not trying to use the voices
they don't know anything more than
um then be able to you know just to be
able to they're singing they don't know
anything about why they sound good but
first you have to know about singing
right about singing about do you think
about Pitch about voice about timings
your mom is giving them voice lessons
and breathing exercises so uh you know
there is breathing exercises everything
give me a breathing exercise guys
that's it well are you good we have to
learn how to breathe the idea that you
should breathe yeah definitely it's a
journey it's a real joke but they're in
the choir for three years four years
five years it's not an accident that so
many Miami kids are going on to musical
careers I think there was a clip of of
this song already being sung at hopo
like not even a week two weeks after the
album's all right actually I got calls
from other people
that they have other people singing it
at weddings and different symbols
already out there wow Elio sings it
