Dear Supporters,
We're back at the Academy this morning and we are about to head off to Chattanooga, TN. We returned to home base to perform at the the Academy's Logos Theater. The performance was full of technical glitches, but again we had no forgotten lines, and even performed the first ten minutes without any sound cues! The Academy's director had us practicing up until the last 20 minutes, and then she told us to apply what she had just crammed in our heads! I can only say that it was a miracle that the program when t as well as it did, and many people genuinely were pleased with the performance and were accepting of the message. I even had to play another person's part for him while he was down fixing our tech. Thank goodness there were no lines, but I had never performed the part before and the character is very important to the story.
So now we have two real performances under our belts (the one here at the Academy, and one Sunday in Indiana) as well as our dress rehearsal that we performed in front of our peers. We have had the sound not work for one performance, the lights fail to start for another, but through it all the message has still be shared.
Today we will also be our last time seeing the South team, which had been using the Academy as s home base while they performed in the local area, until the end of the summer. We had a heartfelt goodbye last Saturday, but I am certain that it will be much more deep today. It is hard to explain the bond that we have attained from practicing, singing, learning, eating, and having fun whit each other over the past three weeks, but it is extremely strong. It took me so long to make friends when I go into College, but here, with common goals, interests, and faith I have formed friendships that will definitely stand the test of time.
Please pray for us as we head out today, and return tomorrow for one last performance here at the theater. Please also pray for the South team as they head out Thursday, and the East team as well, who are already traveling.
Thank You once again for your support, John Flanigan
