Backstage with the Bible - A "Go Fish Guys" Bible School Program
Ranked #617 in Music, #20,116 overall
The Best VBS I've seen in 30 Years
"The Go Fish Guys" have some of the tightest harmony and catchiest songs I've heard in years. They write and play for the younger crowd, but not only do they live up to their motto, "To create kids music that won't drive parents bonkers," they exceed it. Go Fish brings accapello music to a whole new level.
As if that wasn't enough, in 2009 they created thieir own Vacation Bible School Curricullum that focuses a bit more on scripture and the plan of salvation than most, plus has music and music videos that are unsurpassed by any VBS program I've found in my history of working with them.
I encourage you to follow the links you'll find below, get to know the "Go Fish Guys" and take a moment to enjoy their music. You'll be glad you did!
The Top Five Reasons "Backstage With the Bible" is the BEST Bible School Ever!
- Absolutely AMAZING Music with great Music Videos.
- Easy to use manuals and easy to prepare for curriculum
- The kids love it. They invite their friends. Even the 10-12 year olds are singing, dancing and bringing friends.
- The message is clear - Every one is created special, but no matter how special we are, we can't manage to obey God's rules. So, God sent His Son to die on a cross so we can be saved by grace and then go tell others about His marvelous gift.
- The Rock Concert theme allows for an easy transformation of your church into a backstage pass concert event!
- 4 months later the kids are still asking to sing Go Fish songs in worship!

- I know I commented already, but I have had another thought since attending the awesome concert on Friday night in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Something that makes a difference to the kids is the fact the there are "real" people behind this program. There is a connection between the people they see during VBS in the video and the same people at the concert, not just "actors". Keep up the good work. We look forward to more of your work in the future.

- We had a great VBS with the Go Fish Guys. I served on the committee again this year, and this program was different (in a good way). Everything was very clear and easy to work with. A lot of our adult volunteers are education professionals and they had tons of positive feedback regarding the program. We are hoping for another Go Fish Guys VBS program for next year.

Some Highlights of the Sycamore Tree Church VBS
Our Craft area had old VBS backdrops as well as our VBS Director's (professional photographer) Photo backdrops. We added some paint cans and a few extra monitors that our worship leader had laying around at home.
We turned the Bible Story area into a "dressing room." Someone had wigs and allowed us to put them all over the room. We moved a couch into the room as well as a coat rack where we hung old dance costumes, some prom gowns and suit jackets. Feather boas hung from every possible place and we put a big yellow star on the door.
The sanctuary lost 1/2 of it's light bulbs to black lights and all the windows were covered so we could control the lighting. Two DJ's allowed us to borrow some lights that move to the bass, so we had lighting flying all over the sanctuary.
Our kids loved every moment of it. We closed with a prayer for salvation. This Bible School program is the best I've ever seen . . . yep, the BEST EVER!
