:!: Batte Of The Choirs eveybody :!:
Forget battle of the bands, it's the battle of the voices. Lift Every Voice and Sing yall. As a marauder of Central State University, I am a proud member of the Central State University Chorus- the best choir in the land. This small university in Wilberfoce, Ohio is taking over. Under the direction of Mr. William Caldwell, the Central State University Chorus is by far the best University Choir. Grammy nominated, internationally acclaimed, and trend setting. This Choir sings with major ochestras and inportant government functions. If you think your choir can compete, bring it on. I would like to hear your comments.
FOR GOD, FOR CENTRAL, FOR STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I bring you greetings from Virginia Union University. We EXCELL in everything that we do!! Therefore, when you talk about our school, you state facts!! One thing I can not stand is a liar...and you expect to make it through those pearly gates??? God is real and he is well known at VUU!!! When you step to God's children...you step correct!!!
V....S....WHO???
No but we want to move around next year and take our ministry all over the US instead of just the South. Keep me updated you guys come across any conventions or retreats. There is a retreat held annually for Gospel Choirs that are apart of HBCUs that was founded here on Prairie View's campus. It is too late to register for this year but if anyone would like info on next years retreat, which will be held in ATL, let me know and I'll provide you with more info.
If you'll be in Cali from March 6 - March 14, be sure to come check out the New Life Inspirational Gospel Choir (that's my choir ) Representin' Morehouse, Spelman, Clark-Atlanta, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and a couple other Georgia colleges. We'll be in the Bay Area from March 6 - March 10, and in the Los Angeles Area from March 10- March 14. Here's our schedule:

Yep, while we were over there in Cali we ran into Duke's Gospel Choir too...
Lets get one thing together here. When we the CSU CHORUS sing, we do not sing for peoples approval, we sing to the glory of God. Its just that whatever we do, we do it well. Ask the Cleveland Plain Dealer. After bringing down the house at Music Hall in Cincinnati, we went to cleveland and brought down severance hall. DJ Trench, your my frat and I love you bruh, but lets let them know the real deal. I love the Voices of Testimony at KSU they are extremely good. Our choirs have mutual respect for each other. The real subject is concert choirs. We can battle gospel choirs forever and ever but when it comes down to concert choirs there are three choirs that stand out: Central State, Morgan State and Kentucky State. Of the three, Central State has the longest resume.
Orchestras performed with: Dayton Philharmonic, World Reknowned Cleveland Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony, Cincinnati Pops, Indianapolis Pops, Detroit Symphony.
Tours by Year: 2001-Europe, 2002-New York, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, 2003-New York and New Jersey, 2004-California.
All and all the CSU Chorus is the best in the land.
