The next morning, April 8, the MC Singers are booked at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, and travel across state lines that evening for a concert at Moffet Road Baptist Church in Mobile.

Directed by MC Music Department Chairman Jamie Meaders, the 55-member group hits the road again for two more concerts on April 9. In the morning, they will appear at Montgomery Academy and Trinity Presbyterian Church in Montgomery, Alabama. That evening, the singers perform at Independent Presbyterian Church in Birmingham.
