In December, Anne Hathaway visited the kids at Staten Island's PS 22 to officially invite them to perform at the Oscars (which also means they will get to meet James Franco!). Prior to their departure, the Daily News gauged their nerves. 10-year-old Jonathan boldly declared, "I'm not nervous. I'm used to this." Other members of the chorus told them, "I have a chance to shine in the light. It's my biggest experience yet! We're going to the Oscars, baby! We are going to rip the walls from the Kodak Theater off!" A few are nervous to be away from their parents for so long, which... awww.
They're keeping their big number under wraps, but they have also been practicing Katy Perry's "Fireworks" at their rehearsals each week. Check it out below.
