Brad's 25th Party

Bradley Norris was called to be St. Andrew's Minister of Music on April 1, 1986. This year is the 25th anniversary of his arrival. There were four final candidates and, according to those on the selection committee, Brad stood head and shoulders above his competition.

In his 25 years of service he has built and maintained a strong children's choir as well as a fine adult choir. He has staged a number of events combining the efforts of Saint Andrew's adult choir with those of Trinity Lutheran, Saint Augustine, and Saint Johns. He is a published composer and a superb organist and pianist whose talents have been showcased as far afield as Trinity Episcopal Church in New York City. Saint Andrew's Church has been blessed with his talents for these 25 years.

Below are pictures of the reception we had to commemorate his service. At the 10:30 service, the anthem, "Followers of the Lamb" [click here to hear the piece] was the same one he conducted at his audition 25 yeas ago.
