Description: Reese Oliveira from One Voice Children's Choir and her friend, Kelsey Edwards, sing, "Little Drummer Boy." Using a unique and creative approach to a classic Christmas song, watch Reese and Kelsey build a manger using tools and wood sounds that match to the beats of the song. Performed on-location inside a darling woodshop and in front of a red barn in Utah. Reese said, "Recording this song and video really helped me feel the Christmas spirit. I love that we were in a woodshed, since Joseph was a carpenter. The concept of building a manger in the video really made me thing about baby Jesus. My favorite part was hitting the beats with the woodshop sounds." Kelsey added, “I wanted to do something different than a standard Christmas cover to help people remember Christ’s humble birth this season. So often we get wrapped up in shopping and parties, but it’s more important to remember that it’s not about the glitz and glam. It’s about a bumble birth and a simple manger. I hope this song helps people remember that."
