“It’s been a complete whirlwind,” Donal Noonan, the choir’s director, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I’m so excited for the guys.”

Southwest Airlines has decided to fly all 26 choir members to Washington, DC for the concert.

As of November 21, the nonprofit group has raised more than $10,000 through its website and Facebook page to help pay for the rest of the trip– expenses like food, lodging, clothes, and musical accompaniment.
