I’m amazed at how Dana Reed is able to get the kids involved and excited including the teenagers. Friday night, before we would sing with Dana, I watched as a parent tried to get his teenager to sing with the choir. There were over 50 kids there but Mr. Reed noticed it too. He reached out to the young man and won his friendship and he still seemed hesitant to sing.

The next evening of the concert, in walked this teenage boy .He was late but came to the stage where we were singing and sang along with us. The exciting thing is he brought three other teenage boys along with him. Thank you Mr. Reed for the impact you have on our children in words of encouragement and in songs.
