The voices of the Lipscomb student chorus could be heard across campus Tuesday night as the eighth annual Lighting of the Green began. Santa was tucked away in the Hall of Fame room, smiling as children and families came to take pictures and tell him their Christmas wishes. Members of the Lipscomb theatre department handed out hot chocolate and cookies to the children as they awaited the outdoor concert. Young and old seemed to enjoy the festivities, which included shopping among the vendors, sampling holiday food and drink, and taking pictures with Santa. The Merry Marketplace began at 4 p.m. where vendors set up tables outside of the Hall of Fame room. There were Christmas decorations, clothing, jewelry, hats and, of course, Lipscomb outerwear and T-shirts. Fringe and Lace, an online boutique for young women, was one of the popular vendors. Owner Natalie Sawyer is a Lipscomb alumna who graduated in 2008 with a bachelor’s in communications. Outside of Allen Arena, children ran around playing hide and seek among the dimly lit trees that sparkled with Christmas lights, while adults sipped hot chocolate. Hundreds of stark white wooden chairs were assembled in front of the stage just waiting to be filled for the evening concert. Keeping with the annual tradition, Amy Grant hosted the concert which featured special musical guests including: contemporary Christian artist Ashley Cleveland; Mandisa, of American Idol fame; The Martins, a Christian music vocal trio; L’Angelus, a Cajun inspired band; Scat Springs, a classic rhythm and blues singer and the founder of the Scat Band; Michelle Swift, contemporary Christian singer; and the Lipscomb student choruses.

The 2012 Country Music Awards wasn’t just for recognizing country music stars. Lipscomb’s own Caitlin Selle was honored with the 2012 CMA Close Up Award of Merit backstage at the show. The award was created in 2007 to honor the student journalist or photojournalist who demonstrated the most creativity, dedication, and promise in covering the CMA Music Festival on assignment from CMA. This was the second year Selle, a junior, interned for CMA. She was selected among nine others to be on the “Team of Merit.” The CMA staff voted on which intern from the team had the best work, and the staff chose Selle’s work over all of the others. Bob Doerschuk, editor of CMA Close Up, presented her with the award during the backstage press conference coverage of the 46th Annual CMA Awards on Thursday, Nov. 1, at Bridgestone Arena. After the press conference, Selle said she was asked to stay and cover the event for CMA. “CMA is proud to foster up-and-coming music journalists and photojournalists by offering them the tools and opportunities to hone their skills,” said Wendy Pearl, CMA Vice President of Corporate Communications. “Caitlin has solid journalistic skills, with plenty of impressive clips in her catalog,” said Doerschuk. “And as a photographer, she shows a rare gift for capturing everyday images, whether of live music or quiet landscapes, with originality and poetic sensibility. The fact that she works extremely well under pressure, with poise, confidence and patience under demanding circumstances, makes her an ideal candidate for our award.” Selle spoke modestly about her accomplishment, mentioning the talent of the other photojournalists. “I didn’t think...
