Hi folks, I just have been watching some of your Youtube recordings and just being blown away by you all, and the great work of Pastor Pat! I first saw you in the late 80's when you did a show for KCTS with Charlie Murphy, and those songs have rattled around my head for 20 years! I have been singing with the Universal Gospel Choir up here in Vancouver and just wanna give a big "Hey" out to you all. Your impact is felt in places you don't even know about (yet!).
love to you all,
Patti
Hello Patrinell Wright I remember when came to Lake Charles La I was just a kid. I adopted u back then as Mom. Love always Pam
I attended the Black Nativity play last Friday and it was awesome. Pastor Pat Wright was so energetic and her vocals were at absolute best as usual. Total Experience and the Black Nativity choir were phenomenal! I love your ministry and look forward to the legacy that will continue to impact the lives of many all accross this world.

I came to your 35th Anniversary celebration and it is so beautiful.
Did you guys come to Northshore Junior High recently? I think I've seen you.
I saw this group in the summer of 2008 at Soap Lake, WA. I would love to see them do a DVD so that some of the small churches could see this extraordinary group.
I live in Bend and am looking to join a singing group-- is this one in our area and is it open for new members?
Please let me hear your vergin of Life Every Voice And Sing.Its the most Beautiful song I've ever heard.

How or when can someone audition for this group?
Thank you
My daughter and I saw you perform today in Bend, OR. We were part of the gospel choir of the cascades and we stayed after to watch. I knew that your choir would be awesome, but your music brought me to tears and that was something I never expected. I can not begin to explain how beautiful each and every voice in your choir was and how every song moved me. Thank you so much for coming. That was the lift I needed. You are truly a blessing.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank You! You did an amazing performance at our revival in Bellingham, WA at Living Water Fellowship. We loved every minute of it and we plan not only to invite you back but travel to the other areas that you are performing at to get MORE! Thank you for your ministry. You are blessed to be a blesssing.
God's Love,
Ann
I just wanted to say I have had the undeniable pleasure of experiencing your performances twice in the last 10 years, and they serve as an inspiration to me still. God Bless.
Fabulous Workshop & Concert. Pat and The Total Experience Gospel Choir give 110% of their time and energy to provide a joyous and loving learning environment. This was my first time to attend one of your workshops and to participate in a concert. I had such a wonderful time that I am planning on attending again; because the experience was so rich for me. Thank You!
..Somewhere in the wilderness sitting at the table that God prepared for us while reading the 91st Psalm, - was Pats Wrights Divine Idea made manifest with her Total Experience Gospel Choir!
We are so grateful for all that you and yours do. One of my wishes had come true yesterday. That fervent desire for my daughter to participate in a Gospel Workshop.
My daughter and me are very close. Your favorite song -yours,"Pat Wright" reflected our life and how we live it and made it here to the northwest I felt closure and a deeper sense of peace now as for the distance and adversity we have overcome with joy much laughter all the way was rewarded by you and yours.
It IS the music. It was inspired by Love and that Love is the Author of all Good and his infinite manifestations.
Harmony is Love. Love is God.
You are the best dessert after sitting at that Table-
Pat,
Would you be interested in doing a collaboration of your gospel music with Michael Stillwater's chant music?
I thought of how great that would sound as I was listening to him sing the other night, and when he said that you were the one who told him what his songs were, I knew I had to try and reach you. I don't have your number anymore, but his is (415) 884-4483, and know he'll be in Seattle at least until Wednesday since we are going to a song ceremony with him that night.
Hope I'll soon hear your combined talents in song! Blessings, CJ
I miss you guys!
love the music!i was also wondering if your choir is ever looking for new people to join the experience? if so, how and when could one do this?
I am glad to see that gospel music is alive and doing well.I pray God uses me as He has used the T.E.G.C. Love and blessings from above Lisa
I just spent a joyful evening hearing you sing at LW United Methodist. I'm not a member there, but I'm so glad they put out a sign advertising your concert. You lightened my load and brightened my day. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts. God bless your work in New Orleans - I'll be praying that your way will be made straight and that all you meet will know you are of the Lord. Peace be with you!
+ Hopin' to sing with you once again... this is now my catchy song!
Hi there,
I just watched the 'Fired up, Ready to go' song! Powerful! I'm totally behing you guys + you're doing a great job over there! Many blessing and Take Care! Your friend Dorothy from Berlin, Germany

I stumbled across the page while signing up for GMWA 2008. It is great to see that you are still together. I miss the choir and I will never forget what you have done for me. I now work with three choirs of my own and will be starting up a community choir in the fall of 2008. I know what it mean to give you all as you did when I was with the choir and like I said I will never, never, never forget you or the choir. God bless.

Hello,
I've enjoyed reading your website and learning more about your history, experiences, causes, and performances. I'm from San Diego and am having a hard time finding a good church home with a gospel choir that I can join. Singing is truly one of my passions that I've enjoyed in ministry. I'm looking for a local community choir to join and did't see informaion on your site for audition dates. I'm deeply interested in doing this in the near future. Please let me know if you do have auditions and I'll come to one in the near future.
God Bless,
TaNeashia

The performance by your choir at the Arts Alive function for YWCA was awesome! It was the highlight of the evening and I am certain put people in the proper frame of mind to support the Alive Shelter.
Thank you for what you do for the spirit of others.
I want to thank you for such a wonderful and inspiring performance at the 2007 Evergreen A Cappella Festival this past week at the A Cappella Showcase.

I want to thank all of you. I was the recipient of the $250.00 that you brought to Mississippi in May 2007, to help us ship our car to Seattle, when we relocated back here, after having gone through Katrina. Thank you so much.
This may be a pipe dream but do you ever perform at weddings? If so, how much do you charge. My daughter is getting married Sept. 2009 and music has played an important part in her life. Linda
I just found your page and stopped by to say hello.It´s so great to see you (even if it is just on pictures)!I still remember the workshop in Hamburg in 1999 and the Juneteenth Celebration in 2000-it was such a joy to sing with you!I still think of you and miss you...hope you´re all feeling well!Take care,much love from Germany
I have always loved choir music, especially gospel. What steps would one take to sing in a choir like yours? I have a musical background, and experience singing in both our church choir, as well as our high school chamber choir, but this was many years ago. Any suggestions?
Hello TEGC!! This comment is so late in coming to you, but I just had to take a moment and let you all know what a blessing your presence on the MS Gulf Coast was during the 2nd anniversary of hurricane Katrina. We love you all SO much!! Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. We think of you every Tues. nite, wishing we could be there and your cd's are getting worn out!! Take care and God bless you all! I miss you!
Pastor Pat, Just got a chance to check out your webb-page. It really looks great. Chile', I'm just glad to say I know you. Hope you are still kicking high. Much Love, Miss Edna
Thank you so much for coming to Centralia College. What an enjoyable evening it turned out to be.
I'm grateful to have worked with such of a phenomenal group! I love you all very much! And Pat, there is no one else like you!! ;-)
Hi, my name is Sara Krassin and I am very interested in chorale/gospel singing. I was wondering if I could get some information on the choir and new members. Thanks!
Hi Pat:
Just a note to say thankyou again for coming to Maplewood. The group is wonderful and my face ached all Sun. for smiling so much. Beverly Moore and I had hoped to get down there for a rehearsal but she had to get some emergency dental work done. We will get there. I am so interested!! Thanks again. God Bless, Barb St. John*
I saw the Total Experience Gospel Choir at Pacific Lutheran University in 1988. Wow. It is was truly a wonderful experience. I hope that they will be performing at the 2007 Evergreen A Cappella Festival in Bellevue, WA this October.

We were invited to by freinds to see yall in Laurel Ms August 30. Our freind is a relative of Cammilla. It was a great and lifting show. You have a very special choir and we really enjoyed the show. Thanks for all you do.
Raymond & Ronda Bond
Have been going through an unusual amount of stress lately (the I-could-pull-my-hair-out kind!). However, after seeing Pat and TEGC perform at our church-Grace UMC, Lincoln, NE--I felt a huge weight has been lifted! In fact, I wanted to hear more, so the next day we drove to Auburn, NE to be filled yet again by this wonderful group. God bless you all ... keep doing what you're doing!
Sincerely,
Ruthie Andrews
P.S. Pat -- Really enjoyed visiting with you. You are a GIFT! Hope to see y'all again soon!
We attended your performance last night in Lincoln, NE at Grace United Methodist Church. What a moving, religiious experience. Thank you so much for coming & sharing your talent. I will certainly pass the word to our church music director & hope to bring you back to Lincoln and my daughter at ISU in Ames, IA. She is active in the church choir there & would love to have you! Many thanks!
Sincerely,
Donna Baddeley
Please email me your upcoming performance date, time and location.
Thank you
Looking forward to your stop in Omaha @ Sharon SDA church.
Hey, just wanna let you guys know that although we are miles apart, you are not forgotten. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Keep the faith and keep it real.
Derek
I realize this thanks is coming a little late but some of your choir members sang at my brothers memorial - Darryl Thomas. He has been gone now for 7 years but I will never forget the music you brought to a very somber moment in our families lives. Thank you so much for that memory which still lives on today. I've seen The Black Nativity several times and hopefully will be there again this year. May God continue to bless your ministry as you reach out to so many who do not know the goodness, grace and mercy of our Awesome God and his Son Jesus!

Dh just told me he's getting us tickets for the Sunday morning of Jazz in the Valley here in Ellensburg for my birthday and I'm very excited! It will be great to be a part of your performance. Looking forward to it!

Hi Pat:
It was so good to see you last summer at Rainier Square during the 2006 Summer Concert Series. I hadn't seen you in a few years, and it was great to see Kent!! Hope you had a great time in Japan. Since I've moved back to Seattle from Atlanta, I will keep with you and the choir and any appearances, since I was there to see you from the beginning of Total Experience. I see you are performing next Tuesday at Westlake, so I will be there. Love you - Jewell
You performed for the Beta Sigma Phi convention last weekend and I was totally amazed! Thank you for all that you do!
Thanks so much for bringing your love and spirit to Blaine, WA on June 23. The workshop and concert were joyful experiences!
Thank you Reverend Wight and all the Choir. Your singing in Kingston, WA was inspirational. It was indeed Joy, Love and Enthusiasm. It was a time that we won’t forget.
God Bless you all.
Please put me on your mailing list.
