Congregational singing again

I've complained before that "worship team" bands typically overamp their instruments, and the drum is generally the loudest thing around.

I have to be fair. This Sunday the music was beautiful--as is appropriate for a broadcast service. Even the drum seemed somewhat muted. Compared to the pipe organ.

They have an excellent music program, by the way, and if the church was as full as it used to be the congregation might fill the mix better (quite a few very skilled singers out there!). But when a big pipe organ crescendos, it doesn't matter what key you sing in.
