[HANASHIR:5028] Re: Michael Isaacson

[Jaugshir <Jaugshir...>]

Well, the Michael Issacson service Friday night went with our a hitch.  Our 
combined adult, youth, and junior choirs were wonderful.  There were no 
problems with the sound system or cues for the recorded accompaniment.  The 
congregation loved it.  My one concern as a choir member was that it was too 
"performance-y" because we were singing and rest of the congregation was 
listening.  But they were bopping their heads and swaying to the music.  If I 
was going to do anything differently, it would have been to more actively 
invite everyone to join in on the refrains . . . they are very catchy.  I'm 
looking forward to singing these melodies again and getting the whole 
congregation involved.
