Over twenty former members of AVB vibrated Alumni Auditorium with song and dance on Lipscomb's Campus yesterday in an incredible three and one half hour concert (with no breaks!)  Tim Corder did an amazing job of running sound for this multiple combination of groups as Corey Callis ran the lights, with assistance from several outstanding technical support team members.  Tim thought it was hilarious that Rodney and I "opened" for AVB, as AVB originated as an "opening group" for Acappella.



Rehearsals

Half the fun was hearing all the different combinations rehearse and prepare their set.





Catching up, reminiscing and fellowshipping was a tremendous blessing!



   



Their voices are still in top shape.









Their energetic stage presence captivated the audience.





 

I enjoyed a front row seat so I could capture these great angles.



George Pendergrass always told me that in order to sing really, really well, sometimes your face will show the effort.  Check out Bret's passion.

Everyone at the concert felt as if we were "stepping on a cloud" as well.  Wes Mckinzie did a wonderful job of organizing this reunion concert.  Maybe in a couple of years we'll encourage AVB to sing for a "25th Anniversary"?  Everyone was so blessed by this extremely rare treat, as the three and a half hours went by very quickly.  If something like this happens again, we hope you'll make plans to join us. 

Lipscomb was a gracious host for this event. We'll be adding many more pictures, so keep checking for updates at the AVB Reunion Gallery.
