The latest confirmed development in the hall acoustics repair is that a limited trial begins under the same public measure used in the old file. The update comes from the stone music room at North Hall; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.
Evi Noll, hall steward and chorus singer, confirmed 26 seating rows where a spoken announcement is clear in the file. The previous window recorded 31; the totals do not settle how to improve announcement clarity without changing the hall’s music balance.
The unresolved point is specific: Singers value the hall’s old return. Public clerks need a clear spoken announcement at every seat. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.
Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.
NEXT UPDATE: The Year first, river rise window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Masons will test a removable panel before proposing a permanent repair. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
