line of sight. The SMU fans around us were really respectful of the singing and cheered as loud as the BYU fans.

Singing a cappella in a football stadium is tough, haha. Cool moment for them

The elders spontaneously transposed when they realized how high the notes were.

Why did they sing at all? Or maybe pick out 10 good singers and mic them?

yep. If you're going to do it, make a good impression.

It's hard to sing in an open-air stadium like that a cappella. You can't hear

can be done with feedback speakers/earpieces to the singers. See here...

You think the mission is going to provide earpieces to their missionary choir?

the discussion thread was about picking out the best singers only ...

I also would not be surprised if that vocal point performance was pre-recorded

In fact, I'm fairly certain it was.

perhaps so. In which case, if it's impossible, don't have the missionaries sing

I sang at LES with BYU Men's Chorus. Even with a group of that quality/training, it's impossible to hear & hard to do

Yeah, usually you have 5-10% of the missionaries who were in choir in HS, maybe
