Colossians 3:23-24

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."

Student Achievements

Christine W. entered AFMC Junior Composer contest with her piano composition entitled "The Grace of God." We have not had a student enter this competion for several years. Former student, Katey V., entered and won in her catagory and then placed 2nd in state finals. She was able to perform her composition "Why?" at the AFMC Jr. State Convention. We have not received the contest results for this year's competition, but we should hear sometime before March. Christine had to compose a song and then notate it on manuscript paper and record a c.d. to send in for the contest. Many thanks to Mary S. for printing her composition with Finale print music notation software! It looks wonderful! We hope to see other students enter this competition in the future! Many students have composed their own arrangements of sacred pieces over the years, and we are thankful for all the talent God has blessed our students with.



Three Seniors (Victoria, Marissa, & Shayna) participated in the A.F.M.C Junior Auditions held at Birmingham Southern College on January 21, 2012. The girls auditioned with a 15 minute program of Art songs that represented the various time periods. We would like to thank their accompanist Naomi and Kristen for a job well done! The girls did a fantastic job! We appreciate all the work that went into preparing for the audition. They were such a testimony for the Lord! These girls will be presenting their Senior Recital at Samford University this coming May. We hope you will attend their musical performance! All the voice students are presently preparing for festival/auditions to be held at Samford University on February 25, 2012 and for competitions being held in March.
Victoria and her friend Callie presented the National Anthem at MVBS home game against Lindsey Lane. It was beautiful, girls! MVJMC girls quartet presented the National Anthem at MVBS homecoming game last night. (I do not have any pictures to post of this event at this time.)
