We are lucky enough to be playing twice at Lifelight.  Make sure you come check us out and come say hi!  Here are our times and stages:

Friday, September 3rd at 8 pm- 360 Stage

Saturday, September 4th at 6:30 pm- Coffee house Stage

See you at Lifelight in Sioux Falls, South Dakota!

Other exciting news!  We’re getting a new line of merch to be available for our upcoming festivals this summer, so make sure you get yourself to Joyful Noise, Sonshine, Higher Ground, and Lifelight to see what it is!

With that said, it was a show to remember!  We had a great crowd who stayed for the whole show despite the fact they were sitting out in the sun most of the time.  And the opening band was a great group of people. 

Hope to come back again soon, Alexandria!  But we just might have to wear shorts next time.

The competition was good, but we put on the best show of our lives, according to our fans that were able to make it.  We sound checked to “If You’re Happy and You Know It”.  We were the second band to play of the night and we had only 20 minutes to impress the judges.  Apparently it worked because we were the first band called up on stage when they announced the finalists!  It was so nerve-racking waiting to hear if we’d made it or not, and the most awesome feeling when we found out we placed!  We were the only band who played the first night of the tourney to place, which felt really good.  We won some great prizes for getting 3rd place including 30 hours recording time, graphic design and marketing packaging, spa treatment, gift cards, and best of all spots to play at Sonshine, WOW Fest (which we are already playing), and LifeLight!  So make sure you come see us play at these this summer!  Second place went to Love Out Loud, and Hyland won the tournament.

Although we feel really blessed to get 3rd place, the highlight of the tournament was when one of the judges, Amy Wolter, a performance coach with Tom Jackson studios, came up to us and said “In my eyes, you won.”  It doesn’t get any better than that!

We can’t thank our fans enough for coming out and supporting us Friday night and for singing along.  We couldn’t have done it without you!
