If the internet has taught us anything, it’s that there are a lot of talented individuals on this earth. And we’re not just talking about those who’ve made it as rockstars or actors in Hollywood.
With a quick search online, you can find dads with amazing voices, cops who can dance, and pets who’ve learned impressive tricks. Even some doctors have shared their talents online – like the surgeon who can sing like nobody’s business!
One video with over 1.4 million views features a group of military members that really know how to entertain a crowd.
When we think of men and women in the Army, perhaps the words brave, selfless, and strong come to mind. The paratroopers in the video are all of those things – but they’re also musically gifted too!
They’re part of the 82nd Airborne Division Band and Chorus.
On the U.S. Army’s website, they explain:
“The 82nd Airborne Division All-American Band and Chorus provide music to Fort Bragg and the local area ‘Telling the Army Story’ in support of Soldiers and their Families, community and recruiting initiatives and music education programs.”
The program has a variety of musical ensembles including a Ceremonial Band, a Woodwind Quintet, a Rock group called “Riser Burn,” and more! As for these performers, they come from the All American Chorus.
Get ready to tap your feet to their awesome performance.
One of the paratroopers is leading the routine, which is a mixture of vocals and synchronized movements. Every time he sings a line, the group then repeats it. The whole time they shuffle their boots and swing their arms.
But can these Army members really sing? Why, yes they can!
The leader of the chorus has one of those soulful voices you could listen to all day long. And since he’s echoed by a blend of other talented singers, it makes for quite the show. One YouTube user commented:
“Their voices put me in such a positive mood!”
The lyrics of the song go well with them being a group of Army paratroopers.
But on top of lyrics about jumping from the sky, there’s also finger-snapping ones like “Bo diddley bo diddley” and “Hey loddy loddy low.” And the whole time, they march along, not missing a beat! Then at 48 seconds, another voice joins in, giving the performance some extra flavor.
The U.S. Army website provides the following information about the All American Chorus:
“Compiled from paratroopers across the division, the chorus performs traditional cadences, Americana, and select vocal arrangements of popular tunes to uphold the tradition of the airborne legacy as the face of Americans Guard of Honor.”
The internet has fallen in love with this performance.
Since the video below was uploaded, it’s racked up more than 10K “likes” on YouTube. While it’s nothing fancy, their routine is entertaining and bursting at the seams with talent.
The main singer, Baker, really stands out to a lot of viewers because of his incredible voice. One person commented:
“Give him a recording contract”
Another viewer wrote:
“EXCELLENT!…..EXCELLENT!…..EXCELLENT!…..EXCELLENT!….EXCELLENT!”
We owe a lot of gratitude to the men and women in the military for all they do to protect our country. Turns out, some are lifting spirits with their musical talent as well!
