Gospel Concert

What a great concert last Friday. We started the concert off with probably our best performance of Run, Run, Run! And we ended it with a beautiful rendition of Armed Forces Medley. In between we had fantastic guest performers and a few of our songs scattered in.  Attendance was wonderful and the donations were great. We will give you more feedback and results as they come in.

I would like to thank everyone who worked hard on the songs because it showed when we performed them. Thanks also go to the Gospel Concert Committee, and all who helped before, during and after the event. And thanks to Chad for pushing us hard to make us better performers and musicians.
