LBC Gospel Choir to perform Friday

Friday, May 8, 2009 | 11:40 a.m. CDT
To its members, the Legion of Black Collegians Gospel Choir is far more than a group of singers. Over the course of weekly rehearsals and frequent engagements in the city of Columbia and as far away as St. Louis, members develop close friendships and grow together as a family. When talking about the music they sing, choir members emphasize the religious messages of their songs, citing the choir's purpose to minister in the Christian faith to both the audience and to the choir's members.   ¦  PHOEBE SEXTON

The group performs about 10 times every year, and regularly sings at events on campus, such as spiritual services held by historically black fraternities and sororities and for the annual Fall Fest.
