I think so, too, though I think there were always other factors involved, as well.  The whole atmosphere of the church and high school changed in the mid 70's, IMO.  I've always been glad I was there when I was, and left when I did. 

If you're talking about the original auditorium, it's possible the musty smell came from the water damage when the fire was put out.  They didn't replace the green carpet, just dried it out.  The only smell I really remember is when we had church at the Civic Center & the circus was in town.  ;D

There was a special Christmas service a long, LONG time ago, in the old auditorium.  Lindsey Terry (choir director at the time) sang a solo of a new Christmas song most of us had never heard before - "Do You Hear What I Hear?"  He got to the chorus, and *surprise!* the echoing "what I hear, what...

Some of those from this era at FBC probably also knew Mrs. Mary Douglas (wife of Marlin) who passed away this week, as well.  The Barr & Douglas families were like extensions of my own throughout my childhood; it's so sad to lose them.

I love FindaGrave - I leave "flowers" there all the time.  Is that weird? :-\

I didn't attend HAC but got to know Daneen one summer when we both worked as counselors at the Bill Rice Ranch.  (Along with another girl named Janell, but I don't remember her last name).  She was so sweet and so much fun!  That was the summer of '82, I think, or possibly '83.

Another picture from the old auditorium.

I'm assuming that, like me, all of you attended these secular events purely as an outreach ministry... Really, Green Beret?  Riverdance?!  :D

Oh, I've seen Reba, too!  It was in 2011 and her opening act was The Band Perry.

If you still need it, it's here: http://www.nbcnews.com/feature/dateline-full-episodes/full-episode-deadly-valentine-n202711 I haven't watched it yet (had my 4 yr old grandson over on Friday) but DVR'd it for later.

Aw, man...and I tried so hard!  I will stand up in chapel and beg for forgiveness (that's the Trinity Baptist College way) but I have no idea where the South Hallway is.  :) P.S.  Fishinnut - I'm totally jealous that you got to see the BeeGees in concert!

kaba - I love Tenth Avenue North! I've seen them, too.  I think it was in 2012, some small town in South Carolina. 

BOB SEGER!!!  Jacksonville, FL - 1982 Atlanta - 2011 Detroit - 2011 Seattle - 2013 Portland - 2013 Greenville, SC - 2013 and hope to add to this later this year! :D (Can't believe I'm still a "newbie" after all these posts.  I give up!)

Chicago - late 80's, I think; during their "Look Away" phase but they still played all the oldies but goodies; Jacksonville, FL

Styx - Mr. Roboto tour, Jacksonville, FL 1982

What a fun thread!  My first ever secular concert was... THE OSMONDS in 1976 (followed by several more Osmond concerts in 1977 and 1979).  A friend's parents drove us to Lexington, KY to see them when we were 16.  Yes, we attended HBHS at the time, and yes, Bro. Hyles did mention this (not...

Have I earned Honorary Hacker status yet with my consecutive posts?!? My all-time favorite Christian concert: NEEDTOBREATHE! (Jacksonville, FL in 2012 and Atlanta in 2014)

patriotic - our family went on a Singing at Sea cruise in 2012, then an Inspiration cruise earlier this year.  Fun times! Besides on the cruises, I've seen the Booth Brothers several times locally.  They are so great!

Matthew West with Mikeschair - 2012 Mikeschair with City Harbor - 2013 (I know this is two in one post, but they overlap.  No demerits, please!)
