BWC Sing Off 2011
It’s the BWC Sing-Off! Back by popular demand, the BWC Sing-Off is your opportunity to be a star! Grab a group of friends and get your a capella on. The BWC Sing-Off is an a capella competition similar to the hit show on NBC. Like last year, finalists will perform in front of the entire conference on the main stage.
Groups must have 3 or more participants, must compete with one of the judges’ pre-approved songs, and are responsible for their own arrangements and choreography. Auditions will be held Sunday afternoon, January 2. Sign up for an audition time at the BWC Info Booth or email The BWC Creative Team.
Room Full? Get Full!
BWC veterans,
Room with three students that are new to the Boston Winter Conference and receive one of ten $50 gift cards to restaurants in the Prudential Center adjacent to the Sheraton. This means that you and your friends can enjoy dinner together while at BWC.
To enter the Room Full/Get Full promo: write a post on the wall of the Boston Winter Conference Fan Page saying that your room at BWC is full and tag 3 friends who have never been to BWC before but will room with you this year.
Tag friends by typing the “@” symbol and the first letters of the person’s name (e.g. @Amy) This should bring up a list if your friends.
The deadline for entry is 11:59pm on Christmas Eve. Their is a limited supply of gift cards so the sooner you post on Facebook the better your chance to win. When you go through registration with your three friends at BWC we will verify that you are a winner.
Hope you enjoy dinner with your friends. Thank you for helping your friends engage, equip and ignite their faith at BWC 2011.
Bret Ogburn at the Comedy Vault
BWC 2011 speaker Bret Ogburn made the finals in a stand up comedy competition this Summer. Check out Bret at the Comedy Vault below.
Here’s what people said about Bret after he spoke at a recent Fall Retreat: “…students have been RAVING about your content last weekend. They loved the funny stories and students who missed were sad that they weren’t there. The best part is that they not only remembered the funny stories but they remembered the correlation to spiritual principles you shared. WOW! We are so thankful for your time here with us (and for being funny).”
A word about your Parents, from Bret

The Freedom Trail also zig-zags through Boston, taking you to most of the major historical sites along the way. You can take a walking tour of the trail or buy a map at the Visitor Center at the Boston Common.
