This is from yesterday’s celebration in Washington DC. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the West Point Band and Orchestra. Notice the singers sing from memory, and so many of them are smiling. Also pay attention to the last verse, and the one word substitution. Please comment when you see it. https://twitter.com/jessalanfields/status/2073632741636059545?s=20 The post has the …
