We're All In This Together

 We had the honor of performing for Jace Carrico and his family and friends on Monday, March 10, 2008 in New Sharon, Iowa.  This was a benefit concert for Jace who is a 9 year old boy who has been fighting cancer since his diagnosis of a brain tumor at age 3.  Jace has a great love for music, and our concert entitled "Everyday Heroes" was a perfect fit for "The Super Hero Jacerman".  You see, months ago, Jace had created his own Super Hero character called Jacerman. (He even had t-shirts made, and we saw several being worn in the audience.)  So we just had to do a quick costume change into our super GOVAP t-shirts and coming running back on to do "We're All In This Together" from the High School Musical.  After some touching words from Wesley Beyer, one of our choristers, and and his mom Jennifer, who organized this benefit, we closed the concert with "Everyday Heroes".  The words are printed below.  If you want to know more about Jace, go to www.caringbridge.org/ia/jacecarrico.

Everyday Heroes
All around who can see, who is strong and who might be?
Can we know who is brave, who will sacrifice to save?

All around, who can see what their fate is meant to be?
People give, people care, there are heroes everywhere.

Everyday someone cries out. Everyday someone needs.
Everday someone hears them, and listens, and heeds.

Everyday there are heroes, people just like you and me.
Everyday there are heroes, who were never meant to be.

People give, people care, there are heroes everywhere.
