Oakwood University Aeolians: 2011 HBCU iSing Challenge Winners

The Oakwood University Aeolians took top honors for second straight year as the top choir at an historically black college or university (HBCU) at the November 4 iSing College Choir Scholarship Challenge, at the Reid Temple AME Church, Glenn Dale, MD

"Each ensemble was given a total of 10 minutes to present repertoire that showed its versatility," explained director Jason Ferdinand. This year, he continued, we performed:

1. Arranger Stacey Gibbs' "John Saw Dat Numbah";

2. "Shadrach", arranged by Ralph Carmichael. "A visual component was added to this already-difficult arrangement, as a group of Aeolians acted out this Biblical story from the Bible's Old Testament book Daniel, chapters one through three;

3. "Our third selection was our 'secret weapon'. The Nathan Carter arrangement of 'Someday' started the last of our 10-minute competition segment.
