First Mount Zion Baptist Church - Men’s
Choir
Rehearsal Times:
The two Tuesday evenings leading up
to the 4th Sunday of each month at
7:30PM. The late Sister Alice Byrd
organized the Men’s Choir of First
Mount Zion in 1974. The choir was
comprised of a small group of men who
had a desire to lift up their voices to
sing praises to the Lord. Sister Byrd’s
small band of merry men continued to
expand under her directorship. Through
her diligence and hard work, she taught
the men to blend their many voices in
harmony as they uplifted the Lord
through songs.
Under her direction, the men started singing at two services
each month. It was also during her directorship that the
reputation of the choir began to spread to churches
throughout the local area.
With the reorganization of the Church’s Music Department in
1994, Sister Byrd turned the directorship of the choir over to
Brother Mark Ball. Brother Ball continued the work of Sister
Byrd. Through his musical talents, the choir continued to grow
in size and popularity among local churches.
In 1995, Brother Ball had to relinquish his duties as director
of the choir because of other commitments. Reverend
Marquis Egerton replaced Brother Ball and served as director
of the choir for almost a year.
Upon Reverend Egerton’s departure to pursue his ministerial
callings, Brother Ball returned by popular demand as the
director of the choir in late 1995. Since his return, Brother
Ball has employed his musical talents to the fullest and has
assembled a dynamic group of men who thoroughly enjoy
uplifting the Lord in song. The membership has grown
tremendously. The Men’s Choir has hosted male music
workshops with featured artists as: The late, Dr. Robert
Fryson, the late Rev. Donald Vails, national acclaimed –
Williams Brothers and Luther Barnes and the Sunset
Jubilaires. The Men’s Choir continues to spread the good
news through song on the 4th Sunday of each month and in
the community.
