I was reminded this Thanksgiving season of Mrs. Cedarholm leading the choir in "Thanks to God for my Redeemer." When we would sing the verse about thanks for roses by the wayside, thanks for thorns their stems contain, she would act like the thorns were poking her wrists. I never fail to remember that whenever we sing that song. . . many fond, fond memories! --SuzAnne Albright

I remember all of the times on band tour and working for Dr. Townsend. I have enjoyed all of the band tour trips that we have had. Many fun memories have been made, and we get to see him do things we never thought we'd see from him! Also, working for Dr. Townsend has really helped me appreciate all the work he has to do to make band the program that it is. It is a ton of work, and I appreciate his desire to hear such great music being played in so many churches and schools around our country!

I was in her ladies Chorus, took one of her voice classes and was in her choir at Fellowship.. She was always so warm and funny.. I had the best time in the ladies Chorus with her.. I think it was the first year they started it back up, and we were just travelling locally. 96' or 97' maybe. We didn't have fancy matching clothes just a vest..I always thought she was such a lovely woman who was focused on God's will for her life and I know the Lord has truly blessed her life.

Trumpets of Praise

Which summer ensemble team traveled the summer before the college opened in 1968? Read the history book (when it's published in the spring of 2008 to get your answer).

Mark Love, Steve Allen, Jim Harrison, and Dave Warren made up the only Trumpets of Praise team.

To this day, summer ensembles still travel the country, performing music and ministering in local churches.
