I’m sure you’ve heard by now but WE DID IT—the VOICES of UNITY came to China and did what we set out to do, and that was bring back the gold! However, we won GOLD MEDALS in BOTH of our competitions and in one of them, we took GRAND CHAMPION. The way medal system works in the World Choir Games is that you must obtain a certain amount of points to receive either a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Medal. In other words, it is possible that more than one medal type per category will be given–and it is possible (but not likely) that no medals will be given at all. This system rewards those that have worked hard and performed to the best of their abilities, however there is still the GRAND CHAMPION which does reward the best in each category with the distinct title of being the best in the world. In our category of GOSPEL/SPIRITUAL the VOICES of UNITY can proudly say WE ARE THE BEST! We also earned a gold medal in the category of Popular Choral Music. It was first thought that we were runner up but upon closer inspection, we took third place. THIRD PLACE IN THE WORLD? Yes, we are more than happy with that result!

As to being named the GRAND CHAMPION of GOSPEL and SPIRITUAL MUSIC at the 2010 World Choir Games in Shaoxing, China that makes the VOICES of UNITY the #1 GOSPEL CHOIR in the world.
