Auditions

Well, tonight took me back almost eight years. Jeremy's senior year in high school he seriously wanted to go to Pepperdine, and we were working with admissions trying to figure out a way to make it happen. During a campus visit he found out about Won by One, a traveling a cappella group that represents the school. Sooo... eight years ago we set up the video camera and recorded an audition tape. He was selected to be in WBO, and that has had a tremendous impact on his life since.

Tonight Josh Spainhower and his dad, Doug, came over to record a similar video audition for Won by One. It was really fun to be part of the experience again. Josh talked a little, and sang three songs in his crystal clear tenor voice. Don't know what the outcome of the audition will be, but those watching the video probably won't hear a cleaner sound. Good luck, Josh!!

Virginia and I always really love this kind of thing. I guess it's just a hold-over from our youth ministry days, but watching kids set goals and getting to be part of their lives in even small ways are really special to us.... especially when we're walking along with them as they walk with the Lord. That's hard to beat.
