1. We go to these programs. 2. We use Canon Cameras. 3. We pay our expenses for these programs. 4. We process these videos into 4K. 5. We do it for the sick, shut-in, or distant people who love Quartet. 6. We go where the let us; sometimes people tell us No!, they don't want to be recorded, or they don't want to be put on the page. We do patch in the board sometimes....
High Quality Gospel Music Video/Audio (and some other stuff). Reinvigorating interest in Gospel Quartet Music in the Southeast using high quality audio and video, accurately reflecting the music festival experience.
We are a church/family/team/group. Hopewell Media a.k.a. Hopewell Media Team. We do this for MINISTRY; NOT for PROFIT. We don't charge or accept money for this...we follow the hymn's adage, "a charge to keep we have and a God to glorify" operating under God's Commission.

Hey YouTube!
Just checking in. I've completed most of my job-related relocation.
Give me a few weeks, and I'll start catching up.
I look forward to publishing more content and getting back out in the field and capturing great Quartet Worship Services!

Thank You for Your Support — A Quick Update from the Editing Desk
Hello everyone,
First, thank you so much for your continued support and for visiting the channel. Your encouragement means the world to us.
--------------------------------
I’d like to offer a quick update — and an early apology:
----------------------------------
Our video editing operations are currently on pause until mid-August 2025.
As the video editor (that’s me!), I’m temporarily stepping away due to a move related to my full-time job. Admittedly, I’m already behind on editing tasks, but I’m committed to catching up as soon as I’m resettled.
If we’ve recorded your group, please know that your footage is still in our hands — and we’re working to produce the highest quality content possible with the resources available to us.
Since 2019, we’ve had the privilege of attending over 230 Quartet Services, and while the editing may be delayed, we have rarely lost any footage. In fact, by my count, only one program has ever been lost before publishing all of the groups!
Just this year, we've recorded over 31 programs in 4K. That level of quality comes with huge demands on storage and hardware — and to meet that need in 2025, we’ve added:
-160TB of NAS storage
-20TB in NVMe
- 40TB in additional SSD storage
Plus, we’ve invested in advanced recovery tools for dealing with failed drives (trust me, I could write a book!).
But for us, this work is more than just a video project — it's a ministry. We do this to honor God and serve this Quartet community the best way we can. We may not match the polish of large production teams, but we measure success by our faithfulness and obedience to the calling.
Please note:
If you’ve made a special request for older content, I won’t be able to fulfill those until my hardware is fully set back up in mid-August.
We’ll still be recording live throughout July, with stops all across Mississippi, and heading to South Carolina and North Carolina as well. And if it’s in His will, we hope to make some stops in Alabama in August.
Thank you again for your patience, understanding, and prayers. We look forward to bringing you more powerful Gospel Quartet worship in the months ahead. In the meantime, please take a moment to revisit some of the amazing groups already featured on the channel — you might discover a favorite you missed!
Blessings,
Demetrius

Promotional Photos and Booking Information on Facebook
Groups:
Booking Photo on Profile:
When a prospective promoter or client clicks on your Group’s profile pictures, it helps if those pictures include your booking photo with contact/booking info.
Branding with Promotional Album:
On your Group page, create an album called "Promotional Pictures." Add your high-resolution photos and keep them updated. These are often the images used for posters and flyers.
Get High-Res Photos at Events:
If you have a media team at your Anniversary Program but lack high-resolution photos, take 5–10 minutes before hitting the stage to get those shots. Let the media team know in advance so they can shift gears and capture quality images. You’d be surprised how many groups forget to ask for this!
Sincerely,
Demetrius

Thanks for watching. Style and process! and sound!
Everyone has their own style of capturing video, editing video, and mixing the audio. And as much as I am in awe of how others do it and the final produced video, I believe that you visit this channel because you can sometimes tolerate or perhaps appreciate the way we do it here! Thank you for your support. It does not go unnoticed.
We do appreciate your feedback and incorporate it into the vision God has given us. We don't try to be big dogs, but when it comes to free ministry for quartet videos, we give it our absolute best effort!
The Sound: We get all kinds of feedback about the sound. Even when we take 8 - 11 different audio recorders, sometimes...what you hear is what the recorders captured. Over the past ten years of putting up videos, We've learned a few things...but some videos are harder to produce because it takes longer to reduce the echo or pull out frequencies...etc.
As we have incorporated more direct-feed or iRig, as some call it, I've discovered some things that illustrate that the iRig is not always ideal for a Quartet Program. What do you think? Comment below.

Hey! Thank you for watching this channel.
We do it because it's our ministry! Not for clicks and views...so you can experience the Music Ministry of these great programs and great artists as we do when we attend these live performances!
We are a free ministry! We go where the Lord leads us and the groups/artists allow us to.

If you have strong feelings—whether love or hate—please press the thumbs up and leave a comment! We don't fully understand how YouTube's algorithm works, and can't predict which videos and concerts you will enjoy. However, liking and commenting can help increase visibility for that group or artist. Essentially, your engagement helps introduce the group to new audiences. But...if you comment and press like, it will get more traction for that group/artist.
