Baylor YouthCue Wrap Up

David Toledo — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:38:04 +0000

From February 22 – 24, 2008, members of our Chapel Choir traveled to Waco, Texas and participated in the Baylor YouthCue Choir Festival. Our students joined others from all over the country to form a 300 voice choir that was accompanied by the Baylor University Orchestra.

After two days of long rehearsals, our students led in worship at First Baptist Church Waco on Sunday morning. That afternoon, the choir and orchestra presented the Grand Concert featuring the work In His Own Words. This work consisted of several movements with lyrics directly from the words of Christ found in the gospels.

Visit the Student Music Ministry Picture Site to see pictures from the Baylor Festival, as well as pictures from past events.

We Made It!

David Toledo — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 04:53:22 +0000

After experiencing incredible traffic on I-35 through Fort Worth, we made it onto the campus of Baylor University just in time! Our students, along with nearly 275 other singers, worked hard all evening in preparation for our Sunday concert. Everyone is pretty tired, so we will all be going to bed in the next few minutes. Check back tomorrow for more updates and pictures.
