Convention Singing

Convention singing is a tradition where members of a community or organization gather to sing familiar songs together, often at events like conventions or gatherings. It promotes camaraderie and shared experience through collective participation, typically featuring structured, songbook-based singing led by a designated conductor or facilitator. Participants often sing in harmony, following standardized tunes and lyrics, which fosters a sense of unity and cultural preservation. This practice is common in groups like religious communities, civic clubs, or heritage organizations, serving as a way to celebrate common values and strengthen communal bonds.
