Attendance, riser charts, email lists, oh my! Don't you wish you could just kiss spreadsheets goodbye? Now you can, with Chorus Connection.
Hear from our [employee choir](https://blog.chorusconnection.com/why-your-company-should-start-an-employee-choir-immediately), "The ChoCo Puffs," in this parody of Joni Mitchell's "River," most recently inspired by Ben Platt's rendition featured in *The Politician*. #plattfans
## "Platform" Lyrics
It’s concert season. Oh, read your emails, please.
We’re sending out practice tracks and a note from your trustees.
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
But I’ve got spreadsheets; they bring me to my knees.
I’ve gotta update four more lists and sort 'em S, A, T, and B.
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
Oh, I wish we had a platform so strong,
I could kiss spreadsheets goodbye!
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
These details make me cry!
The board they try to help me, their overworked E.D.
But they don’t have solutions; I need some kind of relief.
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
This roster’s hard to manage with a pencil and a pad.
Lost track of the best tenor that we ever had
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
I wish we had a platform so strong,
I could kiss spreadsheets goodbye!
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
These details make me cry!
It’s concert season. Oh, read your emails, please.
We’re sending out practice tracks and a note from your trustees.
Oh, I wish we had a platform we could all rely on.
