There was no traditional service this week, hence no choir (but giving us an extra week to practice for what’s coming). Instead we had a special combined service, run by the kids. The choir has three more Sundays in May, the 12th, 19th, and 26th, before we break until the end of August or beginning of September. I have screens on the 12th, but will post whatever proves usable from the three dates — there could be as many as six anthems altogether. We are completing the season with some rather difficult but beautiful music, and I do hope the livestream recordings turn out.

Our church has been working with an outside organization that, among other things, has conducted a church health survey. The results were published last week and they turned up many things, one of which is dissatifaction with the traditional livestream broadcasts. I have some experience with broadcast sound, both TV and livestream, and if possible I am hoping to work with the others involved to better understand what is happening and to make adjustments.
