Actually, they were in front of us, along with two brass bands in either corner of the balcony. I was at Georgia Tech at the time and singing in the Glee Club (Men's Chorus). Due to the size of the forces needed to handle the Requiem, the Glee Club was offered the opportunity to help fill out the chorus. Lord knows, I could never have made it into the ASO chorus any other way.
At the same time, a bunch of Georgia State University students were asked to help fill in the brass band parts, and they had one of the best brass programs in the country at that time.
The forces were enormous, the sound glorious, and the performances memorable. However, the thing that impressed me the most was watching Robert Shaw work.
