Last night, I went to a concert at East High called "People Get Ready". It was a culmination of three nights of workshops to teach children some songs and a dance and to help form a children's choir that will perform with Trin-i-tee 5:7, a gospel trio who will be performing at Gallagher-Bluedorn on August 7.
After three nights of what I would call "frustrating" practice for the directors, the concert came off with flying colors. It was wonderful! God was honored and glorified as His people used their talents to praise Him, and I was surprised and delighted by the joy of the evening!
Above is a picture of Ellaysa who taught a praise dance to students and who also did an amazing job miming a song in the performance. Ellaysa loves God and spends a lot of time working with youth to teach them how to worship and praise God through dance and movement. The other picture above is my daughter and others who are doing a few measures of "freestyle" during their dance to a song called "Victory."
Below is a picture of the choir with Dante, one of the two directors who led the choir. He devotes a lot of time to making music and sharing it with young people in our community.
