I don’t mind admitting, both eyes of this old Brit had misted-over by the second line.
Almost as good as hearing the Welsh in unison at Cardiff Arms Park!
Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon but at 11 p.m. each night? I certainly hope that the competitors occupied all of the rooms or that the hotel told its other guests what would be happening before they booked a room. Some people, including me, go to sleep before 11 p.m., especially if I have early morning meetings.

Here’s another for those who like it in 3/4 throughout, not too slow, and a nice fly-over flourish at the end. The person conducting (Teddy Abrams) is the new MD in Louisville. It’s his arrangement, too.
Simply amazing and awe inspiring!
I agree with Prewar Treasure and Greg – absolutely magnificent!
