Here are the photos from the Still Singing After All These Years Sing Along. These start with the actual event.
The stage was, of course, the center of attention but so were our song leaders. They helped keep everyone on the right page in their song books as well as a crowd of this size together while singing. The blue shirted volunteers were everywhere available to help with any problem or issue. Jane Schuler supplied the upper right photo.
There were more people than expected. 70,000 bottles of water were on-site and all were gone! I have read that the "Official Estimate" of attendance was 90,000 people. With a crowd that big there were no problems and the place was left very clean.
Two things you can not do without at a big event, the potties and the Macarena. We actually wound up doing the Macarena twice. The lower left picture is from Jane Schuler showing some of her group doing the Macarena.
All the big groups were in like dress. Here are two of the typical groups. My wife took these and told the groups to look, so here you are:-)
In the heat of the day rest and water were essential. The upper two pictures were of people from my Council. I was amazed that I actually found them in the crowd. My wife spotted one person. While chasing her I ran into the other group which happed to be from my Service Unit:-) In the lower picture some of Jane Schuler's group takes a break.
Thanks once again to Jane Schuler for supplying this photo of the President's helicopter flying over just as we were all singing "We Change the World". The timing of the fly over, although unplanned, could not have been better.
This was an event that truly was once-in-a-lifetime. Those who were here will have these memories always, those who weren't, I hope this helps you connect to our fun.
