We have not yet reached our goal (100 enrolled students), but the Mountain State School of Gospel Music has reached out to places and have drawn students from areas that I didn't dream we would. Most people wait until Monday and bring their application along with them, and don't worry about registering in advance... and that's perfectly fine.
This week, I had four boys (college age) to register for the music school. They'll be making the drive from Ashland, Kentucky daily to attend the music school and to take piano lessons from Seth Gregory. I talked with a man last week from Hickory, North Carolina who intends on driving to Dunbar, WV and staying in a hotel through Wednesday to attend MSSGM.
For the past two years, and again this year, we have had students from Ohio. It's exciting that people in other states recognize what a wonderful thing the Mountain State School of Gospel Music is, and are willing to make an effort and drive to Dunbar to hone their craft.
So, registration is picking up. I'm excited to see the final number - it's gonna be good. I've heard and/or seen registered students from the following churches:
Dunbar Mountain Mission
Cobbs Creek Missionary Baptist Church
Mt. Tabor Church of God
Bible Center
Fisher Memorial Church
Sunshine Freewill Baptist
Spring Fork Missionary Baptist Church
Raceland Christian (that's in Raceland, KY!)
And, there's probably a lot more churches that will be involved that I don't know about yet! This is going to me soooo much fun! We can't wait to see and sing with you!
