WINTER JAM!!

Ten brave souls ventured out on a cold (not so much), windy (just a tad) day to face ten bands. Dun-Dun-Duun.

Megan

Haley

Bryce

Josh

Tyler

Carley

Ralph

Vincent

Mikaela

Colton

As you can tell by faces, the weather got the best of some of us. We were losing our minds But we had an awesome time!

Haley and Mikaela excited that they survived my driving! :(

We piled all of our stuff on Vincent's guitar bag. It was kind of like the mom of the group.

Vincent played while Colton and Bryce drummed

We sat around and listened for a while...

Then we played with a hack sack, when the original version did not work we decided to throw it to each other. It was more fun than that sounded. We even had someone in the crowd join us. "The Mom" was watching our stuff.

I think Colton is getting his praise on a little early

The ball needed a break...weak

Most of the group

The weather starting to get to Mikaela (she's going mad)...

and Tyler is starting to see things in the sky...

and Ralph had no idea what is going on.

But back to something more interesting than all of us losing our mind. Please enjoy this video of V-City.

When the line started moving more excitement happened. But we won't talk about Colton howling like a dog while the people behind us sang, or the fact that we started the wave, or even that the crowd did not know how to show they had spirit, and we especially will not talk about Bryce having to run back to his car before the people would let him in (it was intense). But the concert was amazing. Out of the ten artist, I went to see Sanctus Real, and although they did not get a long time to play I enjoyed everything about their setup. Here are some pics of some of the bands.

For King & Country
Great band and I had never heard of them before that night

Our view. It was actually better than this looks.

Our row listening to Building 429

Newsong had this painted. It was pretty amazing.

Peter Fuller(?), former singer for Newsboys, is an amazing entertainer

His band is stuck in the 80's which makes it even better!

Setting up for Sanctus Real!

A casket full of water for the illusionist

Sanctus Real rocked the house! In my opinion.

They have been together for 14 years. That is unheard of.

If you have never listened to Sanctus Real, they sing about stuff that they have gone through. They are real.

Oh yeah, and Skillet. They are awesome.

It was an awesome night and I didn't lose my voice. God gave us a great opportunity to worship with over a thousand people and hang out with each other which is just awesome in itself.
