What Educators Are Saying"Uplifting, inspiring, touching...Sing of Da' Times performance touches your heart and leaves you smiling. Their performance brought the audience to tears with their hip-hop sign/dance rendition of India Arie's "There's Hope." With that one performance, they created a moment in time when we all heard the same song, whether through our ears or through the vibration of sound. I hope the whole community, the whole world, experiences the same magic the audience did that night"
