LBC Gospel Choir to perform Friday

Friday, May 8, 2009 | 11:40 a.m. CDT; updated 1:08 p.m. CDT, Friday, May 8, 2009
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
