How Sweet the Sound: Mount Ararat Gospel Choir Takes Second Place and $

UPDATE: the Atlanta West Pentecostal Church Choir won the Verizon How Sweet the Sound competition, but Mt. Ararat's Remnant Choir didn't do so bad. Saturday night Nov. 7 in Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, the choir from East Liberty took second place, winning a $15,000 check! Nice job! Congrats to conductor Trini Massie and the passionate members of the choir.

Please give a read to my piece on the amazing Remnant Choir from Mount Ararat Baptist Church, which will soon be traveling to Detroit to compete in the finals of the Verizon How Sweet the Sound gospel choir, a national compitition. No telling how conductor Trini Massie (left) and the choir will do, but we do know how well Pittsburghers tend to do in Detroit (Superbowl XL, Stanley Cup Final 2009...!). A link to a video of them singing is attached to the story...
