    If anyone was at the rehearsal, I have 2 HUGE questions: 1 – what is the ‘intro’ music before they hit the stage? And 2 – do the lights pop on after the Tutu speech and the Streets intro? Any info would be very helpful :-)

    The intro is a new song from their upcoming album : “Song Of Ascent” :
    “Sing yourself right down the street
    Sing yourself right off your feet
    Sing yourself away from victory and of defeat
    Sing yourself with fife and drum
    Sing yourself to overcome
    the darkness of one’s lost and someone else has won”
