LAKE FOREST, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The Lake Forest High School choir collaborated on a project that their teacher said will be something they can share with their own kids someday.
More than 100 students recorded more than 170 videos in their homes that were put together for the final product, a song called “Light in the Hallway.”
You don't see all 111 students at the same time, but you hear them all.
Lake Forest High School Choir Director Tim Haskett, who is retiring next month after 37 years, said he wanted to find a song that would have meaning for the students having to be at home.
“I listened to many, many songs and I wanted to find a song that was slow with the words that would convey the message of all of us having to be at home 24/7 and a song that was hopefully meaningful to all of us,” Haskett told CBS 2.
He said it would be a project no one would forget.
“This is something that hopefully they’ll see when they’re in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, with their grandkids and maybe their great grandkids, at the same time,” Haskett said. “I’m lucky. I found a job that I love and for 37 years, going to work every single day, has been a blessing to me. It really has.”
