Detroit Youth Choir Keeps on Winning
Originally Published 09/03/2019
The Detroit Youth Choir is having a moment. After moving actor Terry Crews to tears and a Golden Buzzer during a performance on “America’s Got Talent,” advancing them to the quarterfinals, the DYC is carrying that momentum forward. Last week, the announcement hit that the youth choir would perform the halftime show for the Detroit Lions home opener vs. the Chargers on September 15th.
The next day DYC performed for “America’s Got Talent” again to glowing praise. The group did an empowering rendition of “The Champion,” credited to Carrie Underwood and Ludacris. The combination of singing and choreographed dancing earned a standing ovation from the audience and judges, who all praised the performance. Even the hard-sell Simon Cowell told choir director Anthony White they were: “actually better tonight than your first audition.”
The Detroit Youth Choir is a nonprofit group for metro Detroit students ages eight to eighteen. The focus is on teaching kids how to explore singing, dancing, and theater.
