[TPIN] antiphonal brass

[Reaban, Derek (MCOE)]

Charles,

I played some antiphonal brass choir works in at Camelback
Bible Church in Phoenix which has two balconies with a 
great deal of separation.  There were two brass choirs,
though, not a vocal group.

The choir director stood in the middle of the Sanctuary
and gave a very clear pattern to assure that everyone
could see.  With the amount of separation, it was impossible
to listen for the entrance after the other choir had
finished playing.  Watching for that first entrance was
always critical!

>From the floor, apparently, everything sounded fantastic.
>From our perspective we were always coming in VERY early
with respect to what we were hearing.
