[@tristantoole7363]

I know EXACTLY what you meant by "black and white ... technicolor". I was in choral and concert choir in high school and it was ...fun. the voices were okay, and the music was pretty, but it was kind've plodding if you get my meaning. And then I was lucky enough to audition and make it into my state's "All State Classical Vocals". It's high schoolers from all across the state that are chosen as the best of the best. Sorry, a bit off track. Anyway, I was honored to be chosen and I learned the music before the gathering and group practice, but I was expecting more of the same "high school experience". NO, SIR. From the first group warmup, the conductor taught us a specific harmony in quasi-sectionals and then combined us back together. The thunderous (not loud, but deeeep) basses were nearly shaking the room, while the sopranos and tenors generated an overtone like bells in the rafters, and the altos posted a strong but sweet anchor to the melody. ...it was like standing in a waterfall of harmony. It was beautiful. It's the most beautiful thing I ever heard.

Virtual choir, made online. Amazing. Brings a whole new network for people who just want to sing and be part of something. Could use a little more of signed language to mix things up. Virtual choir 3.0 maybe? Signed music is hypnotizing as well. I know ASL and English and think it would be am awesome opportunity to include another form of music like have been.

i love what you said about the connection - REAL connection between people - it is true - thank you for enabling this gift - and the singing makes my hair stand on end - for its beauty - and for the one ness that it symbolises
