Singing Sunday, January 9th, 2011 as part of the Wilderness Wildlife Week, in the "Violin Room" at the Convention Center of the Music Road Inn in Pigeon Forge, Sevier Co. TN. We had between 25 and 30 singers, well balanced among the parts, and quite a large audience. The singing square was arranged diagonally at one end of the room, with leads and trebles facing the audience, and altos and basses facing partly away from them. The arrangement was acoustically successful. David Sarten was the moderator.
