Just got back, had a blast.

Chris, you sure do know how to throw a killer party, just one complaint over the whole weekend. There was too much stuff that I wanted to see and couldn't cause there was something else I needed to see. Too much great stuff. :wink:

Nice seeing everyone who made it out!

What's your mic selection? Generally, for something like this, I'd do some omnis really high, drums behind the choir (if possible, otherwise maybe a drum shield), and an XY cardioid pair right in front of the choir. Also, how is the organ being handled? Most of the time, a choir won't need too much ...
