Each Moment 'Flashmob'

Each Living Moment will be staging a 'flashmob' happening during the Proms concert on the 3rd May 2014 at 7:30 pm. The flashmob will do its thing during the screening of the ELM movie Each Moment.
Picture the scene.
The house lights dim and the screening of the movie quietly begins. The dynamics of the song builds progressively through the verses until it plunges into the A cappella section with dramatic impact - the concert band accompaniment suddenly drops out of the sound track, leaving the recorded voices to sing their harmonies alone. But they are not alone! A new ethereal acoustic begins to ring out across the auditorium as singers, familiar with the chorus of Each Moment, bring the movie's soundtrack to life by singing along with it during the final chorus with great gusto. During this time, the house lights are brought up just enough to illuminate the antics of flash-mob singers standing in the audience, together with those participating in the Proms on stage. As the singers' A cappella section concludes, the Mandurah Concert Band, that had been waiting patiently on stage, suddenly bursts into acoustic action to carry the audience through to the song's dynamic and triumphant finale - overwhelming the senses of all present!
For an impression of what it might sound like, play or download the audio below ( if you're too impatient to wait for it, go to 3 minutes 13 seconds and play from there. The chorus you are to sing starts at precisely 3 minutes 42 seconds):

The resources needed by flashmob singers are available in the form of sheet music and audio files. Those who wish to be a part of the flashmob event and are unfamiliar with Each Moment can access the resources sooner rather than later. Others who have sung Each Moment previously, could access the resources closer to the event. Remember, you're only to perform the last chorus, after the final words of Verse 3 that end with "...Even to the stars that scatter in the sky, Float up with wings on high." The chorus begins with the words "Not with faint hearts we live..."
