I think it will be fine, we were all just a little surprised because we were

It was a church basement so a decent room. The trouble was the meeting
itself was over and so all the boys were running amok and making a lot of
noise. That coupled with the acoustics made it impossible to hear well :-)

Ugh - I can imagine. This is the only thing our family has so I basically
