STATUS: Asecond office checks the count and records any difference in method. The current arrangement remains in place at the stone music room at North Hall.

RECORD: sound checks from the upper bench and repair notes from the masons. The count is 24 seating rows where a spoken announcement is clear; the prior window recorded 18.

DISPUTE: Singers value the hall’s old return. Public clerks need a clear spoken announcement at every seat.

OUTCOME: The hearing is still open and no permanent rule has changed.

NEXT: The Year first, river rise window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Masons will test a removable panel before proposing a permanent repair.
