Amidst all the hubbub of\u00a0Adventures in Odyssey’s<\/em> 25th Birthday Bash on June 16th, a unique quartet of Odyssey fans merged on the scene. Grant, Daniel, Samuel, and Andrew (brothers) attended the “Get in the Show” event on June 15th at Mardel Bookstore prior to the Birthday Bash.<\/p>\n

Grant, one of the Barbershop Quartet singers, describes his adventure to the event:<\/p>\n

“My three brothers (Daniel, Samuel, and Andrew) and I went down to Dallas,\u00a0Texas on June 16 for Adventures in Odyssey’s<\/em> 25th Birthday Bash at the\u00a0Irving Bible Church. The experience was a blast! The best vacation\u00a0I’ve EVER had. (And I was standing up for almost 10 hours, with small\u00a0breaks.) Anyways, we sang a song at the Birthday Bash (not on stage,\u00a0but outside in the lobby, while fans were standing in line). Will\u00a0Ryan, the guy who plays Eugene, wrote the song for his ukelele album,\u00a0Eugene Sings!<\/em>, and I arranged it for Barbershop Quartet.<\/p>\n

(Actually, we were able to sing it for Will Ryan and a few of the\u00a0other actors at a mini bookstore event the day before the main live\u00a0event. We couldn’t have been more surprised with their reactions:\u00a0Katie Leigh (the actress who plays Connie) and AIO host Chris Anthony\u00a0cried at the song. Brock Eastman (AIO marketing guy) was pressing to\u00a0get the actors out of the building because they had somewhere to be,\u00a0but Will Ryan insisted upon staying for the whole song, and even took\u00a0a picture with us afterwords.)<\/p>\n

KBCI, a radio station in Dallas, was there at the Live Show. They\u00a0liked our song so much that they loaned us a microphone so that the\u00a0crowd could hear us better and asked if the could put the song on\u00a0their saturday morning kids radio show.”<\/p>\n

KBCI’s Coconut Hut Radio Show<\/a> aired their recorded version of “O-D-Y Double S-E-Y” in the morning time slot on June 30, 2012.\u00a0Adventures in Odyssey<\/em> continues to impact fans around the world. And when we hear stories like this, we’re reminded of just how devoted\u00a0Adventures in Odyssey<\/em> fans are to quality entertainment.<\/p>\n

And we’ve showcased the song so you can hear it:<\/p>\n[audio:https:\/\/www.odysseyscoop.com\/audio\/misc\/O-D-Y-double-S-E-Y.mp3]\n
