Field notes
The archive uses a fixed numbering system: each entry keeps its number even when the note is revised, while a colored shape identifies its section and a stave line places it within the book. Visible entries move between social history and physical practice, including forty-voice rehearsals, Tampa's volunteer choir calendar, small Southeast recording studios, quartet billing, riser spacing, and the difference between platform and pew singing.
