The Crist Family

The National Quartet Convention

Tami Crist Starkel — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:24:43 +0000

Probably the most talked about and anticipated event in southern gospel music is soon approaching. September 12th starts the beginning of The National Quartet Conventtion. From morning til night there is non-stop music. I remember the first time I went to NQC with my brother. Rich and I were sitting in the nose bleed section listening in awe. Then we walked around the convention hall (which seems endless).

Our second year we went as a group. We had our first booth and sang in our first showcase. It was all so exciting. But the hard part was no one knew who we were. People would walk by our booth and just keep on walking. We knew it would take time for people to get to know us. We were realistic. I mean really, The Crist Family, from where?

But slowly each year that has gone by we have gained more and more friends. People aren’t just walking by our booth anymore. They come in and sit and visit for awhile. Our time at NQC is busier this year than ever before. Here is our schedule:

Monday 11:30 am Artist Spotlight HOSTING in the Southwing Conference Center (we will be hosting this event and singing 2-3 songs)

Tuesday 6:30 pm Freedom Hall MAIN STAGE

Wednesday 2:00 pm Freedom Hall Legends Of Tomorrow Showcase

Friday 9:30 pm Freedom Hall MAIN STAGE

We hope to see you there. Stop by our booth and visit.

The Future

Tami Crist Starkel — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:25:38 +0000

I am excited about our new website layout and the plans we have for it’s future. Our desire is that more of us have contact with more of you. In an effort to make that happen we will be developing more individual post pages for each member of our group. We hope you enjoy this new addition to our site. You will be surprised at how much there is to learn about the people in our ministry. I have talked with several people after our concerts recently about the page I will be starting. My desire is to have a place were we can encourage each other as Christians to fight the good fight. To remember “His Strength Is Perfect”. We can trust in His unchanging Word. I look forward to getting to know you all.

HOME SWEET HOME!!!

Thank you for joining us on our July 2010 Tour. We had so much fun meeting new people and seeing new places. We enjoyed getting to see old friends and making new ones. The most exciting part of our tour was seeing God move. Never before have we sensed the Holy Spirit at work in our concerts like He was during this tour. Praise the Lord! Again thank you for joining us and God Bless!

Day 15

Travel Day

Our 15th day was a travel day. What that means for our group is 15 straight hours on the bus. To some people that might sound like torture and for others (like me, Tami) it is pure heaven. I am a bus bunk hermit. I love my bunk. Others on the bus love to play cards (Breana and Jackie). They could play for hours. Hand and Foot, (which I have no idea what that is), Sequence, Phase 10 etc.. Then there are the readers (Gail and Lisa). I can’t even count the amount of books they read. The local librarian is their closest friend. The guys are always trying to catch up on lost sleep from late night driving so most of their time is spent driving or napping. Then there are the three youngest of the group (Luke, Val and Colby). Their time is spent playing video games and movies in the back lounge. They have staked out that spot as their private getaway. To most people our life would seem crazy, but somehow it works.

Day 14

Tami Crist Starkel — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:43:34 +0000

Whenever there is free-time the guys try to find a way to clean off the dust and bugs we have acquired on the road. On this particular day it was so hot I was surprised they were spraying the bus and not themselves.

Day 13

Tami Crist Starkel — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 21:03:56 +0000

When Rich and I were in our teens we used to live in Colorado. So while we were in Denver we had to stop at Casa Bonita. There is nothing like it. It’s not about the food it’s about the experience. Cliff divers, caves, streetlamps, gunfights, arcades, magic shows etc. There is so much to see and do and all at a Mexican food restaurant. After a day at Water World the Denver water park, we went to Casa Bonita. It was a wonderful day. We are rested and ready to sing.

Day 9

I made an error when I mentioned the day, it was day 9 not 8. It is so easy to lose track of time.
