Big #choir and #orchestra concert. A dozen #school districts represented. #Students practiced for months for this. It is in a big historic #concert venue. Couple thousand family members in the audience.
Elementary choir final number. Backed by an actual jazz combo. Beautiful singing. Two very young girls--5th grade, maybe--dressed to the nines, nervous but clearly prepared, step up to some microphones set up for this. Moment. Their lips move as they count down to their cues The director looks encouragingly their way. They've got this.
First one, then the other, step up to their mic and deliver their absolute best solo, technically proficient as well as soulful beyond their tender years.
Or that is what I assume because the audience heard dead silence while two children's mouths moved for twenty seconds. No sound at all.
And that is how I surmise that up to four adults are now feeling actively homicidal toward some #soundtechnicians.
