I could have used these folks in a handbell choir (pretty much the same skill set).
Found at TF Stern’s Rantings. Thanks, TF.

Absolutely great – except for the constant laughter from someone next to the camera.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Beats the heck out of the time I let a couple of my guys talk me into using a recording of the instrumentals they’d made using Army Band resources as an accompaniment for a choral group. *sigh* Was fine in rehearsals, but… came at the end of a long program and the sopranos and tenors were too tuckered to sing it in the (higher) key the guys had recorded it in. My fault really. I just failed to consider the implications of a long performance at the end of an already busy day packed with tons and tons of events. This? Just training “monk(ey?)s” to flash cards with a recording. Easier. Nice effect, though, andf may actually have gotten at least one person to SEE and register the words.
It lacks a certain je ne sais quoi…
Oh, perhaps the lack is in a recording of a piece of recorded music played back over a PA system. Nothing beats a live performance–not even the best of recordings, and a vidcam recording of a recording? Notsomuch musical. But ya gotta love the robes. 😉
