The PS22 Chorus Goes To The Oscars

The Academy Award show is Sunday night, and excitement is growing over what celebrities will wear, what they will say, and who will be the big winners. In addition, we can expect to hear some musical performances by Mandy Moore, Randy Newman and Gwyneth Paltrow (yes, she's singing).

But there is one group performing you probably don't know: The PS22 Chorus, a fifth-grade glee club from Staten Island.

After discovering the PS22 Chorus on YouTube, Anne Hathaway showed up at their Winter Recital in December to personally invite them to perform at the awards show. Needless to say, there was a lot of screaming.

Oscar host Anne Hathaway broke the news to the PS22 Chorus herself.

Now Breinberg and over 60 10-year-olds are in Hollywood preparing for Sunday's performance. The PS22 Chorus will be singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
