Well, no.
Actually, they would. And do, regularly. Have you ever heard those kids sing?
jello, I worked out all of the harmonies for most bands I've been in for over 40 years (Hell, over 50 years -yikes) and I worked a lot of programs when my yougest daughter was in show choir and theatre at Bowie a few years ago.
In fact, I was the musical director for her senior musical, "1940's Radio Hour" which was a quite ambitious undertaking. I worked with them on the vocals, the harmonies, played piano and conducted the stage band.
They were very, very good. But to take any 3 random kids and get them to sing close order harmony on one of the toughest songs there is to sing is not something you just do.
