Although they were situated outside the Great Auditorium, these three visitors were enjoying the freedom of their seating as well as the evening’s ocean breezes.
The grand sound emanating from the GA could be easily heard where they were.
The Great Festival Choir was, conducted by Dr. Jason Tramm, Director of Music Ministries, who led an impressive choral ensemble consisting of members from 105 participating choirs.
The soloists included Ronald Naldi, Monica Ziglar, Allison Gish, Justin Beck and Justin Gonzalez. There were 8 guest conductors.
Buses arrived with folks from senior facilities.

Others also enjoyed the outdoors seating. This view is looking outside in the back of the Auditorium.
This is Candace relaxing in front of her tent, only about 10 feet from the Auditorium. Surprisingly, few tenters were seen. Many were probably inside the GA.
And inside, as usual, there were attendees who love to sit way up in the back. Ted Bell used to suggest those seats for the breezes. Sometimes it gets pretty warm inside, especially on the stage. Attendance wasn’t as impressive compared to times in the past when the entire Auditorium was packed, including the upper level.
While the audience drifted in to the Auditorium, Maestro Jason Tramm conducted the MidAtlantic Brass Ensemble.
