My [17] was unfounded. Sure, there were many [18] who were squirmy and decided to [19] to their [20,] but the [21] majority found it within themselves to sing loudly and [22.]
I know I am [23;] I may even be a [24,] but don’t they have a [25] who can decide which [26] to put [27] from the microphone? I mean, [28!] This is a growing problem in our [29]–one that should be remedied as soon as possible.
