One Girl's Perspective of Team 14:22

Hey everyone! Hopefully you've had a chance to check out the video in the post below and get to know your 2009/2010 Team 14:22 a little bit. We're a diverse bunch hailing from all over the USA and Canada, and although we've all grown up in very different ways in very different places, we all share common passions for music and God. Since the video clip only very briefly introduces us, I thought I'd share a few tidbits that I've learned about my team in the past couple of weeks:
Jeff - Sound tech and team leader. Gives good back cracks. Can make the team sound good in just about any room (which says a lot about his skills, as we are still muddling through and learning our repertoire!).
Eric - Vocalist and guitar player. Seems mild mannered, but can belt out a song with killer pipes. Watch out.
Jon - Stellar guitar player. Has the most pedals and fancy things for his guitar that I've ever seen. Also seems to really like Pop Tarts.
Matt - Really tall guitarist. Can't cross his legs. Which is fine, since he always plays his guitar standing up (and he's really good at it, too).
Denny - Wickedly skilled drummer. Loves to wear head-to-toe denim. Also has a hilarious giggle.
Dan - Bassist extraordinaire. Has an extra-special bass guitar that randomly picks up FM radio frequencies and broadcasts them through our sound system. In addition to our own music, we hear a lot of the local weather.
Rachelle - Keyboardist with a love for Converse sneakers in every colour. Does not like birds.
Lesley - That's me! Vocalist (who occasionally plays keys, despite the fact that the keyboard does not like me and transposes itself in the middle of a song). Also loves Converse sneakers in every colour. Also does not like birds.

I think we've got a good team here. We're goofy, energetic, fun, passionate, and so excited to be a part of CTI. After just a week of rehearsals I'm confident that we can get out to the world and use our God-given musical talents to minister to youth and really challenge and encourage our audiences. I feel like we're being really well-equipped by CTI with the skills we'll need for the year though musical training, seminars, personal devotional time, and team bonding time. Team 14:22 is getting ready to hit the road and share the love of God! Watch out for this Pop Tart-loving, bird-disliking, sneaker-wearing, denim-loving bunch coming soon to a city near you.

With love on behalf of team 14:22,
Lesley Denford.
