In an effort to raise money for their spring concert and to cover traveling expenses, Entourage Performing Arts Group held a fish fry. Director Trea Trapp said, “We decided to sell fish because many people eat fish on Fridays during Lent. Our fundraiser was very successful,” he said.
Shante Bostic, a customer, said, “The food was great.”
She supported the fundraiser because one of her friends, Lativre Stokes, is a member.
Bostic is a freshman from Haughton and marketing major.
Entourage is a gospel group composed of Grambling State University students.
Their purpose is to inform people about
Jesus Christ.
“People do not get to go to church, so many attend our rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (at 8:00),” said Trapp.
Trapp is a secondary English education major from DeRidder. After hearing about the group from people in his hometown, he auditioned for the group as a freshman. He has directed the choir since last year.
In addition to performing at GSU and in surrounding communities, Entourage has performed in Houston, Dallas, Knoxville, Tenn., and at McNeese State University.
This year, Entourage will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday evening at 6 at Grambling’s New Rocky Valley Baptist Church.
In September, the group will perform on the Bobby Jones Gospel Show.
