Main Stage – High Flight Society
More great news! We’ve booked High Flight Society for Main Stage on Saturday. We’re stoked to have the guys play at our festival. They’re simply amazing.
Definitely go over to their MySpace and listen a bunch to bump their song plays. THEN, come out to AgapeFest in May and rock out to their sweet, sweet tunes. Oh, it might be nice to let High Flight Society know just how excited you are to see them at af09, leave some comments on their MySpace too. (They’ve got a new EP coming out soon too!)

VOTA & Brooke
Update: We are still trying to fill Brooke’s slot. More difficulties, VOTA had to pull out. But hey, that’s how the music industry works. We’ll keep you up-to-date here and on our twitter.
Hey friends. We’ve got some sad news, but then some exciting news.
The sad news is that Brooke Barrettsmith has had to cancel and will not be rockin’ the festival this year. We’re sad to lose such a great musician this year.
The exciting news is that VOTA is going to fill her slot. Have you heard VOTA? The band is fantastic. We’re all a-twitter here at AgapeFest HQ to have VOTA playing on Main Stage.

Please Pray for the Guys in StorySide:B
We were notified by some friends of the festival that Ron from the band StorySide:B recently passed away. We at AgapeFest want to extend our sincere condolences and our prayers out to the band and the families this is affecting, and ask you, our friends, to keep them in your prayers as well.
StorySide:B played AgapeFest 2008 last year and were incredible. Just great guys and a joy to share a weekend with. We are so sorry to hear about their loss and pray that God’s peace would surround them in this time of grief.
The band made a short post on their MySpace blog and we’ll direct you there now to leave your wishes and prayers for these brothers in Christ.

Christmas Is Coming
Merry Christmas!
Yes, it’s a tad early, but it’s currently snowing here in Greenville and I’ve got the heater blasting and am getting cozy as I start work.
Snow in Greenville!
Most of the student staff here at AgapeFest HQ will be heading to their homes this week, but they couldn’t leave you without one more announcement. So here goes: We have confirmed DecembeRadio for a Main Stage slot at af09.
We also have tons of stuff planned for the new year. New and more videoBlogs, contests (with prizes), photos (add your photos from a previous AgapeFest!), tweets (follow us on Twitter!), behind-the-scenes blogs… phew! And other stuff, if you can believe.
But for now, get yourself a big mug of hot cocoa, a warm fire and your family and friends. Eat lots of cookies and sing lots of songs. Celebrate Christ’s birth this Christmas season!
From all of us here at Greenville College and AgapeFest HQ, we wish you a merry Christmas, a safe New Year, and God’s rich blessings in your life!
