SUGC Takes Houston: Choir attends College Night

Members of the Southern University Gospel Choir (SUGC) spent last Friday traveling to Houston, Texas to attend College Night hosted by Evangelist Temple Church of God in Christ.
For more than 40 years, Evangelist Temple offers college choirs from across the country the opportunity to fellowship and perform for each other and the congregation in attendance. SUGC has been a regular amongst the invited guests over the last decade.  
In total, 7 colleges and universities were in attendance this year, including Prairie View A&M, Texas Southern, Sam Houston State, Texas A&M, Lamar, and University Of Houston. 
“Definitely a 10,” said junior elementary education major Imani Savory when asked to rate her experience. “[SUGC] brought the heat…and turned the church out! I would most definitely do it all over again.” 
The choir also managed to give an impromptu performance at a nearby shopping center that was well received by shoppers. A video of the performance was posted on the choir’s social media pages, receiving hundreds of views on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, with many people leaving likes and positive comments. “It was fun singing and worshipping with our choir mates and just enjoying ourselves, giving God all the glory, honor, and praise,” said Ciara Anderson. 
SUGC’s trip to Texas is one of many appearances the choir has made during their 50th year anniversary. Since 1969, the gospel choir has traveled across the country to perform for various audiences. The marquee event SUGC is gearing up for this year comes in late November, as they will formally celebrate their anniversary with a 50th Anniversary Jubilee.  
“Although I’ve only been a part of the choir for two years, every song we sing is preparing someone somewhere for a major breakthrough,” says Savoy, “… and I know that as long as we sing as a whole, breakthroughs will happen the night of the 50th Anniversary Jubilee!”
