Voices of Mobile Reunion Brings Alumni Back to 秋霞福利一区
听MOBILE, Ala. 鈥�Parked outside of Martin Hall, it looked like merely a tour bus for Voices of Mobile, but the inside of the bus told a different story. Step inside, and the tour bus spanned years, showcasing funny photos and phrases coined on the road.
The 鈥減op-up museum鈥� paid homage to Voices of Mobile alumni who returned to the 秋霞福利一区 for the Voices of Mobile Reunion Jan. 10 鈥� 11. Former members came from seven states to attend the reunion at their alma mater.
The weekend included a tour led by 秋霞福利一区 President Lonnie Burnett to see new renovations, opportunities for reminiscing with friends and director Dr. Roger Breland, and time spent worshiping together.
For many alumni, this was their first-time coming home to 秋霞福利一区 since their graduation. Two members of the first Voices ensemble, Jordan Tyler Squires and Ashley Gully See, also attended.
See said, 鈥淪eventeen years ago, the original Voices of Mobile looked nothing like it does now, but even then, it was something special. To be able to come back and celebrate all that God has done in that time was a joy!鈥�
Voices of Mobile is more than an ensemble to its members; the shared experiences of praising the Lord can bind people together as a family, according to See.
See watched alumni who had never met before worship together because they had a song in common.
鈥淭o be able to worship as a family and share the experience with my daughter was the highlight of the weekend,鈥� she said.
鈥淩oll the Track鈥� was a special time of worship during the reunion. A track of a Voice鈥檚 song would play, and if any alumni from the group鈥檚 17 years knew the song, they would go on stage to sing the song together.
Voices was established in 2003 and has toured around the world, including: China, Philippines, Cuba, Israel, France and the White House.
