Notes

2006-11-15 - Removed from its location and combined with other components to form a Keates-Geissler conglomerate ca. 1990. -Database Manager

2007-05-28 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- While the stoplist looks decent enough on paper, the sound did not uphold the A-S reputation. Individual stops were pleasing, but there was no sense of cohesion in the whole. It certainly doesn't stand-up against other A-S organs in town like Samford University or Independent Presbyterian. -Database Manager
