A Celebration of Family History was held in the Conference Center. President Henry B. Eyring and author, David McCullough, spoke; the choir sang and 5 videos were shown. They are online and can be viewed by going to: http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/.
I'm sorry that you all were not able to enjoy it. Over 14,000 did, which is the largest genealogical event ever in the US.
The bagpipe video is humorous and very enjoyable, but what followed that video is the main item of discussion by all attendees. The reason is that as the video was ending, you heard bagpipes playing Amazing Grace. Jared McCloud was one of the pipers. As they finished going through it once, the Tab Choir and Orchestra joined in. The result was incredible - never has that song been performed better. Everyone there would like to have a video of the entire evening, but if they can only have one thing it is that song. It is ironic that the most humorous part of the evening turned into the most memorable and moving.
President Eyring and David McCullough gave excellent remarks, both encouraging collaboration in research. Mr. McCullough also pressed learning the story behind the events and gave several examples of events in the lives of famous people.
While the entire evening was filmed, it is not yet known what will be available for release.
