Acapella singing is always better live. At least, that's what my sister told me after she went to a Pentatonix concert. Of course, I had no trouble believing her, but my sister only truely learned this when she went to the concert. How was my sister able to go to this super expensive concert for a super famous band that was all the way in Saint Louis, you ask?

It is class night at the Wonderfully Made Foundation for those of us ladies staying in the shelter.
