June 23, 2008 Rain was not enough to stop this year's 88th annual State Singing Convention in Benson as an estimated crowd of 4,000 braved occasional showers to enjoy a weekend of southern gospel music. This year's event started Friday night with a show by last year's winners Fortress; The Dennis Family, winners of last year's Consolation Cup; The Taylors; Resurrection Quartet; Called Out; and The Trinity Trio. Professional groups Brian Free and Assurance and |
the Triumphant Quartet also made appearances over the weekend.
As far as the competition, which was held on Saturday, "We probably had as good a talent this year as we ever had," Convention President Dan Holland said. "I sure wouldn't have wanted to be a judge."
This year's winners were 7-year-old Emma Maples and her 9-year-old brother Wesley in the junior division; the Friendly Chapel Choir from Friendly Chapel Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church in "North Downtown" McGee's Crossroads in the choir division; Robbin and Joey Maples in the duet division; Four Part Harmony in the female quartet division; the Dennis Family in both the mixed quartet and family divisions; and the Arise Quartet in the male quartet division.
This year's Consolation Cup winner was Fortress, a group from the Benson/Clayton/Zebulon area. And last, but not least, this year's Grand Trophy winner was The Taylors.
