On a recent Friday night, dozens of people crowded inside Ruba Club in Northern Liberties, holding sheets with lyrics to Sufjan Stevens' song, "Chicago," printed on them. "I've made a lot of mistakes," they sing in unison, as Philly music teacher Melissa Schepers turns this random group of friends and neighbors into an impromptu choir. This is the Fishtown Choir experience. "A lot of people have come and been like, 'Where's the choir?' They don't realize that they're the choir," Schepers said.
