Singspiration Returns To Perry OK

Roy says, "SINGSPIRATION began as an all-night gospel and patriotic 'sing-along' session to honor our troops in the 'Gulf War' back in 1994, and was a brain-child of our (then) postmaster, Darryl Bullock. It brought together soloists and singing groups from all over Oklahoma to perform at the grandstand in the park that surrounds the Noble County Courthouse.

"The Perry Quartet is featured in the photo on the left ... "If you can use any of these photos, you're welcome to pick and choose. I'll try to identify them as best I can. I took these in addition to the video that I was shooting of the (almost) three hour show. After I get it edited, I expect the DVD will run between 90 and 120 minutes total (perhaps a little less) after I cut out all the 'wasted' time for 'mic checks' and 'patter' between performances.

The newspaper article in the Perry Daily Journal headlines reads: "Singspiration coming to Perry square Friday evening."

"Don't miss the 15th annual Singspiration at the bandstand on the Perry square Friday (June 26) evening. The event will begin at 6 p.m. and will be a free evening of patriotic and gospel music featuring performers from around the state of Oklahoma.

"This year's event will be launched by the Oklahoma Christian University's 9-member contemporary choir, "New reign" who will be performing in Perry before going to another engagement. Also on the agenda are a Southern gospel group, "Power of Praise" from Oklahoma City, a Stillwater quartet, "Redeemed", an Elvis impersonator, Darin "Elvis" Thrasher of Yukon, a duo from El Reno, "Kindred Spirits", and from Perry, soloist Lenita Kennedy and a Perry quartet, "Potter's Clay", which includes Bill Bullock, Maria Lemons, Elaine Vardeman and Patti Bloom.

"Beverages and snack concessions will be available and door prizes will be given out during the program. The event is FREE and sponsored by Darryl Bullock of Victory Ministries, assisted by his son, Bill Bullock."
