The 540-seat auditorium was filled to capacity with many spectators viewing the show choirs on a large screen in an overflow room. The high reputation of the well organized local competition draws some of the best swing choirs in Ohio each year.

And, the Music Feast is one of the state's oldest song, dance, band competitions.

The ONU art and design department put out a call for thin people to pose for a drawing class. These guys showed up...on Halloween. They were good models since they knew how to hold a pose. (Monty Siekerman)
