First African Baptist Church 23 Montgomery Street Savannah, GA
JULY 2011
Please note that our group will NOT be in Washington, DC in July. We had a WONDERFUL time performing at the Library of Congress and Kennedy Center last December but we will not be in Washington during July. We just don't want people to be expecting us and be disappointed if they see a different group that is trying to do the ring shout.
We have engagements we are obligated to and will be traveling in late July.

Please note that we are NOT planning on attending the closing ceremonies of the Lorenzo Dow Turner exhibit in Washington, DC. We had the privilege of performing at the John F. Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress in December 2010. During our stay in Washington, D.C., we had the opportunity to see this fantastic exhibit. While we absolutely loved our stay in Washington, D.C. we will not be able to return to Washington before the end of that exhibit. We just want you to be aware that we are NOT going to be in Washington, D.C. in July 2011. We loved our visit in December 2010 but we have other events happening in July that preclude our travel to Washington, D.C. ~THE MCINTOSH COUNTY SHOUTERS (Our group is not known by any other name. If you want our group, be sure you look for the McIntosh County Shouters--in that order.)

New Year's Eve, December 31 every year
The public is invited to attend the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Watch Night. This is a time-honored tradition that its congregation never discontinued. Come to the service and celebrate the coming of a new year with the members of the McIntosh County Shouters and the congregation. Following the service will be a midnight celebration of watching the new year come into being with a performance of the ring shout to be held in the adjoining annex until the early hours of the morning. This is truly an experience to share with family, friends, and loved ones. |
