I used to accompany a mixed chorus here at work.  The quality of
the singers varied from very good to very poor.  When they tried
a capella, they would usually drift flat, anywhere from a quarter
tone to a full step!  I believe that it was primarily the bass section
at fault.  That is, they would go too low when they went down to the
low notes.  That would drag everyone else down with them.
