MH: Well, we found out that we had a choir of about ninety-six voices that came together. And remember, camp was about 5 miles in length from one end to the other, so we chose a rehearsal area in... right in the middle, so these people... and there's no means of transportation, which means they had to walk.

So that's how our music program began.
