Dove Awards

Yesterday (Wednesday) Mom and I went to Nashville to help behind the scenes with the Dove Awards show at the Grand Ole Opry. We brought my friend Jane Goatley to help as well. We had a busy but wonderful time! In the morning from 11am until 3pm we worked as stand-ins for the show rehearsals.
Here Jane and I are sitting in the "audience" as we watched artists rehearse.

My friend, Jaclyn North happened to be there too! She is pursuing a career as a country artist.

We snapped a photo as Charlie Daniel's was rehearsing with a saxophone player, The Isaacs and Mac from Third Day. It was GREAT! I think the rehearsals are so much better than the actual performance. It's a small setting, nobody's putting on a show, they're just getting into it 'cause they love the music!

In the evening during the show we worked during the commercials pulling artists from the audience to backstage so they could get ready for their performance. This is the great team we were a part of. Mom was taking the photo, but she was in her element with this type of work. We all looked like a bunch of pro's running around with a mission! :-)
It was special to have a little one on one time talking with artists on the way backstage. Artists such as Michael W. Smith, Steven Curtis Chapman, Point of Grace, Mac from Third Day, etc.

And finally...at 11pm CT we are standing in the parking lot...getting ready to go! It was fun, but we all admitted to being tired at the end of the day. :-)
