In 2007 the name was changed to"VIVA, Sandnes Kulturskolekor", Viva for short, when we talk about us.

We should tell every child: "Do you know what you are? You are a miracle! You are wonderful! In the whole wide world there is no-one like you!""  less

Recorded live on April 27, 2013, on the Downtown Disney Stage at the Walt Disney World Resort in in Orlando, Florida. Performed by the Lyric Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Susan Dodd. A law was made a distant moon ago here: July and August cannot be too hot. And there's a legal limit to the snow here In Camelot.
