Dave Miami, FL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Oct 22, 2006 I sat behind the stage in the choral risers, just about center, and thought the sound was very good.

I wonder if that's normal in that location.

Top 3 things about South Florida classical music: Mike Tilson Thomas, Judy Drucker and Lawrence Johnson.
