We are still pinching ourselves (and coughing the dust out of our lungs) from the absolute dream that was Outside Lands last weekend! This BTS video is just the tip of the iceberg of what was truly *the* experience of a lifetime and one of the most exciting opportunities we’ve had as a chorus. Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out for us on Sunday as we opened the festival on the main stage!

Tech rehearsal for Outside Lands was Simply The Best. ❤️ We Cut right to The Feeling and sounded like We Belong on that stage! Now we’re just Living On A Prayer that we don’t feel the rain on our skin outside tomorrow, but we promise to give you a performance you’ll remember for Centuries.

See you tomorrow at 12 noon on the Lands End main stage!!! ❤️
