Subject: Spring Into Praise - Song Solicitation
The Spring Into Praise™ (SIP) 2010 Choir Festival is now soliciting
songs for its July 2, 2010 live CD/DVD recording to be held in
Atlanta, GA.
This landmark event is being hosted by Dr. Carlton P. Byrd and the

The Spring Into Praise Choir Festival Mission Statement is threefold:

choir directors, choir members and praise teams/dancers) for
networking, collective learning and sharing of musical strategy and
fundamentals.
2. To allow the choir member to be part of a 1st class mass choir
which covers all music genres serving as a catalyst for them to better
serve their local church.
3. To invest in the future musical greats by providing scholarships
to students with acumen for the arts
The following SDA Choirs/Directors have confirmed that they will
participate in the Spring Into Praise™ 2010 Choir Festival: Atlanta

looking for a national platform on which to share their God given gift
with the world.All mass choir songs submitted:
