More about this title
About the Composer: Matthew Gerard
Matthew Gerard co-wrote the original "We're All in This Together" for the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical, which became a cultural phenomenon among young singers. His work on the High School Musical soundtrack demonstrated a gift for crafting accessible, emotionally resonant pop songs that speak directly to student performers.
Why we love this
Bryan Sharpe's arrangement captures everything that makes this song work for young choirs: it sits comfortably for developing voices, the melody remains instantly recognizable, and the integrated beatboxing and body percussion elements transform a straightforward pop tune into an engaging performance event. Your students will feel the energy of this piece before they even open their folders.
What to expect
Pure celebration. The a cappella texture lets every voice ring out, while the rhythmic drive and body percussion elements create infectious momentum. It feels like a genuine moment of unity and pride, exactly what you'd expect from a song about everyone coming together.
Who it's for
Developing 2-part choirs that want to perform contemporary music their students actually know and love. This works equally well for middle school groups still building blend and intonation skills, or for high school ensembles looking for a fun concert closer or graduation piece.
How to get the most out of it
- Establish the vocal percussion part early in rehearsals so your beatboxer has time to build confidence and lock in with the ensemble. Even if you don't have a student ready to feature, the notated part is accessible and fun for singers learning basic percussion techniques.
- Bring out the solo line with genuine warmth. This is a moment where a medium voice soloist can shine, so consider which of your students will feel most comfortable carrying the melody for a verse.
- Layer the stomps and claps strategically during the final section. Start with just one voice group, then add the second part, building momentum until the full ensemble joins in. This creates natural dynamic growth without needing to push volume.
How to use it
Save this for a moment when you want your audience to smile and your singers to remember why they love being in choir. It works beautifully as a graduation finale, a concert closer, or a spring concert showstopper. The piece is also short enough to perform multiple times in a single concert without fatigue.
Skills your students will build
- Sustaining clear vowels in a cappella singing
- Coordinating body percussion (stomps and claps) with rhythmic accuracy
- Balancing a solo line with harmonic support
- Performing notated vocal percussion/beatboxing
- Managing tempo and pulse without instrumental accompaniment
