A Fab Friday Forgotten

Two weeks ago, I showed this video...forgot to post it! Many of us have seen these Eric Whitacre "virtual choirs" before. This one is special - 1) it uses CGI/animation for the video concept more so than in past VCs, 2) Mt. Vernon's own Jacob Owens and Ryan Dockery (my former students!) actually participated in it. Really - check the credits! (if you have 10 minutes to sit around and read them all) - LOL!
