2005 Miracle Yearbook

Choral Groups net If there's one thing that every member of Cedarville's choral groups felt this year, it was the joy and unity that came from playing challenging music and ministering together. The choral groups shared their music and joy in a variety of venues, in some cases even overseas Some members of Concert Choral spent their spring break singing in Poland while members of Jubilate sang and ministered in Jamaica. Senior Jubilate member Sheri Trennepohl told about the time they spent in an orphanage in Jamaica, just holding and singing to young children. She said, "The trip was amazing. It opened many of our eyes to the need for missions in Jamaica Although the Men's Glee Club, Women's Choir, and Jazz Singers did not travel overseas, they still represented Cedarville in tours around the United States. The Glee Club toured churches in Michigan and Ohio, ministering to their host families and singing a mix of songs that included The Beatles, Boyz II Men, and Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up." The Women's Choir sang music ranging from J.S. Bach to silly French tunes, and they even sang in the prestigious Carnegie Hall in March. Director Beth Porter commented that "it is a magical experience to stand on that stage, and a great honor to have been invited twice in the last four years." OneVoice, formerly known as Gospel Choir, had many singing engagements in the community. Some of the venues the choir participated in included a chapel performance at Emmanuel Christian School in Springfield, OH, a worship concert at Central State University, and well as singing backup for Christian recording artist Babbie Mason. Finally, the Jazz Singers stepped up the level of their Performance by adding two more voices to their group and Preparing more difficult music than ever before.
