Links to helpful videos or recordings:
Semester 1:
"The Ballad of Sweeney Todd": www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPoJR5M7DkY Note: this is probably an SATB version, ours is SAB. They also start at measure 8.
"Royals": 10518202.item
They add vocal percussion in addition to the finger snaps but otherwise is identical to how we've practiced it.

Here is the link to "Veni, Veni." Make sure to listen to the SAB version: 10584804.item
"Carol of the Bells": 3250842.item
"Rumor Has It/Someone Like You": watch
Very similar to ours (same key): When they take the DS to m.28 they don't go straight to the coda after m.35. They repeat 28-35 (NOTE: WE ARE NOT DOING THIS BUT PLAYING THIS SECTION AS WRITTEN). Also, they do some choral parts as solos and there are some extra background vocals that we don't have (minor stuff). Still a very good resource to get an idea of what it should sound like but keep listening to your individual recording to develop the right harmonies. ALSO: WE ARE CUTTING THE 2/4 BAR AT MEASURE 68.
