2006 Miracle Yearbook

Guest Concerts Orchestra, This year, great musicians such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Denver and the Mile High David Crowder Band, and Third Day made their presence known on campus by 7—. performing memorable shows in the Jeremiah Chapel. These concerts were attended by an amazing 1 number of Cedarville students, including myself, as well as people from the community, who looked forward to nights filled with incredible musicians and wonderful times of praise and worship. Steven Curtis Chapman kicked off this year's string of concerts during Homecoming Weekend in October. Playing many of his famous songs such as "Dive," "I Will Be Here," and "Live Out Loud," kept the student's on their feet for the entire show. During the concert, Chapman expressed the importance of adoption, something near to his heart. When it comes to musicians we tend to think that they are perfect. However, Steven expressed that he too is human, when he forgot the lyrics to one of his songs! Denver and the Mile High Orchestra performed during the Christmas season. "Every musician in the band demonstrated high musical ability," reflected Elizabeth Fannon. "The guitar player [Keith Cooper] at the beginning of the set was amazing." The band showed clips from classic Christmas shows during their songs. As luck would have it, the first major snowfall of the season happened while they were here. As the band left campus, Cedarville students gave them a final farewell by pelting their tour bus with snowballs! The last concert of the year sold out with David Crowder Band and Third Day making an appearance. Katie McGinn, an avid Third Day fan, said that "the concert was great! I loved being with over 3000 people and two great bands worshiping our Savior!" David Crowder played many familiar songs as did Third Day. The encore for Third Day provided a time of praise and worship and thought-provoking comments. >-Mac Powell, lead singer of Third Day, workes the crowd with classic hits such as "Consuming Fire" and "Cry Out To Jesus." W Junior Stephanie Caywood, a Josh Bales fan, said, "I loved the expression of his heart for God at the Day of Prayer. It came through in the songs he sang and the way the chapel was organized." For many students, the concert Denver and the Mile High Orchestra put on was a nice study break from exams. Michelle Boudreau said, "Their performance was a therapy session for us before our Pharmacology exam, and we were not let down...it was amazing!!" Mike Hogan, member of David Crowder Band, uses his God-given talents to play worship songs during the Wherever You Are tour that came to Cedarville University. t 160 Activities /"1"1".•-...J)
