National Gospel Choir Competitions
Dr. Camille Taylor’s National School Gospel Choir Competitions
This year it was held in the MLK Auditorium at Lincoln Center.
Dr. Taylor’s last competition year was 2009. He subsequently died and the over 20 year legacy was not continued.
There were four divisions; Elementary, Middle, High School and College/ University. Friday morning was elementary and middle school. Friday night was high school and Saturday night was the college/ university competition. Please note, these were school gospel choirs that competed in 13 categories. Competition time was about 20 minutes.
This video source is a VHS tape. The video quality has degraded. However, the audio quality is as recorded. As is common with many videographers, there is no house mike.
I hesitated to put up these clips due to the audio quality however I know that there are those out there who participated in these events and do not have a copy of the videos. Enjoy
