We had quite a surprise upon reaching Gamlakarleby on Sunday morning at 10:30. Not only was the usual large crowd there (and I think that crowd was a little larger than usual) and a chorus, but wonderful to say, there was also a whole band. We marched, instead of walked, out to the hall, with the band playing for us. (Just think! The Runeberg chorus marching through town with a band--with a great many people marching with them and other people watching them from doors, windows, etc.) Finally we reached the hall where the first thing we saw was a great "Valkommen" sign over the gate. During our frukost, the Gamlakarleby choir sang for us. It certainly was a huge choir, and they sang wonderfully.
