Battle Of The Choirs

Well even though this topic's kinda been done already, I'll put my two cents in once again... One of the best college/university gospel choirs around is the New Life Inspirational Gospel Choir aka the Atlanta University Center Gospel Choir. We're about lifting up God, speading the gospel, and reaching out to the community. We also promote unity cause we're not just from one school, we got members from Morehouse, Spelman, Clark-Atlanta, Morris Brown (yeah there are still some folk there), Georgia Tech, Georgia State, Georgia Perimeter, Atlanta Metropolitan, Interdenominational Theological Center, Kennesaw State University, Luther Rice Seminary, and Emory University. Also New Life is unique in the fact that we don't leave anybody out. Quite a few school gospel choirs (and a lot of concert choir/glee clubs) require you to audition to get in, we don't. Also everybody in the choir is there cause they want to be there (not just to get some music credit). And guess what? New Life operates by itself financially. We raise money by ministering in the community and at various campus events. Our schools don't give us thousands of dollars or support us financially like most state colleges or big universities. And even though accomplishments are nice that shouldn't be what your choir is about. If all your choir has to be proud of is a few shiny gold-plated trophies and plaques, that's not saying much. I think it should be about what type of impact ya'll are making in the lives of others (especially if you're a gospel choir). And that's what I'll ask everyone who comes with their favorite choir, after the concert is over and everyone has gone home, what have you really accomplished? And I know what some folk are gonna say. They'll be like, "You're just saying that cause New Life hasn't any accomplishments." That's totally untrue. New Life has performed with a number of award winning artists including Richard Smallwood, Yolanda Adams, Hezekiah Walker and Love Fellowship Crusade Choir, Sounds of Blackness and Darious Brooks. We have also opened for Fred Hammond, Michelle Williams, the Canton Spirituals, the Mississippi Mass Choir, and Bishop Clarence McClendon. We also traveled all over the country ministering through song. In fact in two weeks we'll be headed to Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco to tour. Most importantly hundreds (if not thousands) of people have given their lives to Christ as a direct result of hearing New Life. So yeah, New Life is great New Life Inspirational Gospel Choir " To Magnify God, Edify the Believer, and Evanglize the World, Beginning at Home!" www.nligc.org
