Danice Sweet has the unique honor of being the only female back-up singer to ever be chosen to tour with Acappella.  That girl can “SANG!”  Her soulful talent is electrifying and a blessing to everyone who hears her sing with the group, Revival.  Danice’s talented husband, Chet, also served Acappella Ministries as audio engineer and bus driver.

While on tour, it was normal to fall into routines.  When stopping to fuel the bus, there was usually plenty of time to purchase snacks, visit the restroom or grab something to eat.  In order to make the best use of time, people were notified of the upcoming stop in order to wake up (if napping) and stay on schedule. 

On one particular trip to Texas, Danice was feeling ill - so she decided to stay in her bunk and not exit the bus when everyone else did.  Upon re-boarding the bus, no one checked to see if she was still in her bunk, assuming she was still sleeping;  however, unnoticed by the others, she had decided to go inside the food/fuel station.  The bus pulled out and proceeded down the Texas interstate . . . far down the interstate . . . without Danice.  I don’t recall how far the entourage traveled , but it was a very long distance before they realized she was not with them.

At that point, the tour was unable to turn around without missing the concert that evening.   The local sheriff patrol escorted her to the county line, where she was escorted by another helpful servant to the next county, and so on.  Eventually, after several shuttle hours and unique experiences, Danice was reunited with the rest of the gang.  I wonder how the conversation went with her husband-bus driver later that night?
