[Md-sligo] Sing-Along at Kennedy Center

[Shickeytha Chandler]

As I remember it from last year, they had soloists singing some parts
of the Messiah, and we only had to stand up for the parts that include
the entire chorus. For example, we would sit during "Comfort ye my
people" (tenor solo) and then stand up for "For Unto us a Child is
Born". So, there is a pretty good balance of sitting and standing.

Hope that helps,

Shickeytha
