As negotiations continued, the possibility of using the coliseum was offered, which Roberts readily accepted. Other performances throughout the evening include guest speakers and testimonials between bands, while equipment is shifted, including local pastor Chris Terrell, former Major League Baseball player and Atlanta Brave Chris Hammond and a performance by Tayllor Hanson, who won a Birmingham-based radio talent contest with more than 3,300 votes, making her a fan-favorite singer.

Consumed is April 11 from 5:30 - 9 PM at Pete Mathews Coliseum at Jacksonville State University. Admission to Consumed is free, though a “love offering” of $5 is suggested but not required. VIP tickets have already sold out, but more will be available as contest prizes through the event’s Facebook page. ✻ INSIGHT
