Awesome! Pop-Up Hallelujah Chorus at Macy

AMEN!
When I was a freshman in high school...I was drafted into the chior. They pulled kids randomly out of study halls to encourage them to join vocal, choral, glee whatever. I remember The director saying are you an alto or soprano? "I can sing anything", I replied. (he smirked, thinking I was arrogant; I was merely naive...couldn't everybody sing high or low?) He tested me and a started to laugh...you're right! Would you like to be in the chior? "sure." I was in chior from then on and it was the highlight of my high school experience. When I was a senior, someone told my Dad that it was an honor to be in the Senior Choir in any grade, but to be in it from a freshman was special. I never had known that. The Halleluia chorus was one of the first pieces I learned, and one of my favorites.
