Everybody Say Hallelujah Performance Grids

Director Peter DiMuro’s performance grids for the North Carolina "Hallelujahs," skeletons of the ever-changing order of the programs as they continue to develop. "Without this grid, it seems that my imagination would run wild with the possibility of what was left to do. With it, my imagination had a guide," said DiMuro.
