That's lots of those good brain chemicals gettin' released into the
bloodstream.
Yup! We also sing in completely mixed formation. So, I (tenor) get to have
a soprano to my left, an alto to my right, one of each in front of me and
and also behind me. I guess there's a bass back there, too; but I do enjoy
being surrounded by the ladies! You should know, also, that in our mixed
formation, you do have to carry and cover your own part all the time. The
only "covering" benefit seems to be during "stagger breathing".
