American Boychoir to sing with Beyoncé at Academy Awards
Group includes Lawson Daves of Greenwood
If you're planning to watch the Oscars later this month, you might just see someone from Greenwood - besides Morgan Freeman.
The American Boychoir, whose membership includes Lawson Daves of Greenwood, has just accepted an invitation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to appear in performance, according to Lawson's mother, Andrea Daves.
"They're going to sing 'Vois Sur Ton Chemin,' or 'Look to Your Path,' from 'The Chorus,'" said Daves. The title of the movie in French is "Les Choristes."
The movie and the song are each nominated for an award: the movie for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year, and the song for Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures - more commonly known as "Best Original Song."
Daves said the movie is about a man who is hired as the head of a boarding school for the rehabilitation of orphans and his use of the power music to transform lives.
"How perfect is that?" said Daves.
"And get this," she continued. "They're going to be singing with Beyoncé!"
The Boychoir's parents organization is now figuring out how to pay for the group's trip to Hollywood, which will cost about $20,000. She said she's confident funds will be found quickly.
The 77th annual Academy Awards presentation will be televised on ABC (WABG) starting at 7 p.m. CST on Sunday evening, Feb. 27.
