Sunrise Church in Wrightwood

Sunday, May 22nd, we played up the mountain in Wrightwood for Sunrise Church's game day. After church, they gathered for a meal and then played several types of games, before having Southland come up and play.

As you can see, they had a bounce house, board games and card games set up at different tables.

The Wii dance was the most popular. Here four little girls are dancing their hearts out.

Southland sings! Sorry for the dark pictures.

And the crowd listens.

Relay for Life 2011

Saturday, Relay for Life was held at Summit High School in Fontana. Southland once again had the pleasure of being able to donate their time, music and all proceeds to this wonderful fundraising charity for cancer research. Wayne's mother had cancer, so this is especially dear to his heart.

The entertainment schedule. You can see we were scheduled to play at 4:30pm

The stage that also shows the name, date and location. And in true Fontana style, the wind picked up shortly before Southland played. But of course, all the locals are quite used to the winds.

While Southland played, the walkers still walked to raise money for cancer research,

People tossed balls in the field near their tents, while others rested inside them,

Mothers played with their babies and

kids ran around burning off lots of energy, while others sat nearby cheering on the walkers/runners.

And while all this was happening, they were being entertained by Southland's music by either sitting in the audience or listening to them via the speakers.

Bill Gaither Homecoming Tour

On Saturday, Southland had the opportunity to attend the Gaither Homecoming Tour together and it was a real treat for not only us, but for our wives as well. Bill Gaither really knows how to put on a show!

Not only did we get to see the concert, we were able to see it in style inside the Citizen Business Bank's suite. It truly was a wonderful night!

Desert Springs Harvest Festival

On October 30th, Southland played at Desert Springs Church in Hesperia, CA for their Harvest Festival. It was originally going to be held in their parking lot, but due to the weather, they had to bring it indoors. There was a really good turn out from the community, so although it was a bit crowded, fun was had by all.

This little Buzz Lightyear enjoyed the music and just couldn't help but dance!

Besides lots of fun games to play with candy to receive, there was also lots of yummy free food! From cotton candy, popcorn, to hot dogs and nachos. Here is the pastor's lovely wife, Nancy, helping to hand out the hot dogs and nachos.

The games were held in the front of the building and then everyone headed to the back to enjoy the sound of Southland while also enjoying their food. As you can see by these two cute Cinderella's, there was also face painting!

And it wouldn't be a party without clowns who make balloon animals!

Valle Vista Baptist Church

Southland played down in Hemet, CA at Valle Vista Baptist Church to help celebrate the 28th anniversary of Pastor Ken Landes. For those who don't know, Kenneth is Wayne's older brother! He and Wayne learned how to play guitar together and even sang together at school, Church and family functions. This particular week, Mike Lundy was unable to play with the group, so Ken filled in for him. It was a great opportunity for his church to see him play in a band and he also helped fill a need in Southland.
Ken, Wayne, Roy and Kevin is in the shadows behind Ken.

A better shot of Kevin!

Kenneth even sang a solo with Wayne doing harmony!

Brothers!

Orange County Fair 2010

Thank you to everyone who came out to the OC Fair to support and encourage us! As always, we had a great time playing God's music for you, meeting new fans and reconnecting with some that we haven't seen in some time.

For the 3rd year in a row, we were invited to perform at the Orange County Fair. This year we played on the Meadows Stage, which gave our fans a chance to sit down at umbrella covered tables and enjoy some yummy fair food, while being entertained by Southland.

Here is the schedule for Meadows Stage.

An up close picture of our name and time we played. "4:00 Southland (Country)"

And a few pictures of our beautiful fans!

Check out this cutie dancing away to our music.

Soldiers For Jesus M.C.

Saturday, July 24, 2010 Southland played a fundraiser for Soldiers For Jesus Motorcycle Club. It was held in the parking lot of Calvary Chapel of Running Springs.

We saw a lot of these vests and a bunch of black and yellow. Can you guess their club's colors?
They served hot dogs and chips for lunch, while the bikers and their families relaxed under these canopy's listening to our music.

Some of the bikes.

Kevin had family obligations and couldn't play with us, so our dear friend and past drummer filled in for him. Thank you Randall. As always, it is a pleasure playing with you and seeing your beautiful family.

A nice picture of all the guys just before we headed on back down the mountain. Aren't they a nice looking group of boys?
