The Pacific Boychoir Academy is an all-boys Grades 4-8 day school, where choral music and academics are equal partners in education. The school is located in Oakland, CA.  The academy has an after-school choir program that brings the PBA experience to Bay Area boys from preschool through high school. Members of the Pacific Boychoir participate in a very old tradition. Boychoirs have been around for hundreds of years, dating back at least to the fourth century. Early modern boychoirs were trained to sing with the collegiate and cathedral choirs of Europe. Today, most American boychoirs are not affiliated with churches, though much of the great music written for boys came out of this tradition. PBA boys learn that extraordinary accomplishment teaches lifelong lessons. Hard work leads to mastery. Personal responsibility and teamwork go hand in hand. The challenge of improvement leads to the joy of success. The Pacific Boychoir Academy seeks boys of all ethnic, economic, and geographic backgrounds. They are not affiliated with any church, ethnic group, or specific geographic area. [http://www.pacificboychoir.org/about 1]

The group came together after rigorous and quick casting at the request of Foster, who had a performance scheduled at the Kennedy Center and wanted to include a choir of Military Wives. Foster contacted CAMMO (The Center For Military Music Opportunities), and they quickly (within 2 weeks) answered the call with an exhaustive search. The day after they met - and with only one rehearsal - these spouses found themselves on the stage of the Kennedy Center with Jewel, Chaka Khan and Chris Botti as the finale to a star-studded show of David Foster and Friends.

The American Military Spouses Choir were a choir act from Season 8 of America's Got Talent. They were eliminated in the Semifinals.

Background

The American Military Spouses Choir (previously known as Homefire) has given a voice to American Military spouses through music. Their first single “The Promise” was commissioned by famed Producer David Foster and written by Charlie Midnight ("Living In America"), Jay Landers (head of A&R for Universal Music) and Bernie Herms (writer and producer for Natalie Grant).

The group came together after rigorous and quick casting at the request of Foster, who had a performance scheduled at the Kennedy Center and wanted to include a choir of Military Wives. Foster contacted CAMMO (The Center For Military Music Opportunities), and they quickly (within 2 weeks) answered the call with an exhaustive search. The day after they met - and with only one rehearsal - these spouses found themselves on the stage of the Kennedy Center with Jewel, Chaka Khan and Chris Botti as the finale to a star-studded show of David Foster and Friends.

Says Victor Hurtado, CAMMO Artistic Director, “this song is a spouse's lullaby, to make sense and remind our service members that, no matter what they may face, they are not alone. They are words that not only empower them, but are reflective of a life partner's words that soothe them in the rare moments of rest on the field of battle”. 1
