Sounds Good Choir joins Music of the Baroque Chicago in a sing along of Handel's "Messiah" Hallelujah Chorus on the Chicago Riverwalk at Clark and LaSalle.
Set up began around 5:30. We needed to stake out seating for about 140 singers.
The scouting party came with signs, big and small, long and short.
The weather was beautiful, a comfortable temperature 70ish°, dry and clear.
Having the real estate established, our members filled the stands.
Members came from all rehearsal venues.

"Hey! Sounds Good, Hands Up!"
Wouldn't be Sounds Good without Sounds Good co-founder Sandy Siegel Miller.
The Riverwalk was packed!
All rise for the Hallelujah Chorus.
We sang it twice. That is always a treat.
Thank you Bob Horner, Sounds Good Choir Board President, for coordinating this amazing outing.
Good night from the Chicago Riverwalk.
Truly an amazing evening. The Riverwalk stadium seats between Clark and LaSalle was packed with people gathered to hear Music of the Baroque Chicago. It was a pleasure to see so many members from the Sounds Good Choirs and staff.
I thank everyone that smiled and allowed me to take their picture. I love smiling faces. And I must say, this is a good looking bunch of people. You made my evening go smoothly. Thank You.
Thanks to all the staff members that joined in this evening.
Cheers, Teel
Teel and Jonathan
