I’m going to break Day 2 of my VIP treatment into two posts because, quite honestly, I don’t want you to pass out at the sheer volume of pictures I want to share.
I drove to the venue early Saturday afternoon, eager to see the lineup of groups. Rooster didn’t arrive until the third group performed, so I was by myself for a couple of hours.
The first performer was Jamie Grace…
What a cutie! Her voice sounds a lot like Macy Gray’s. You’ve probably heard this song before…
Next up was Peter Furler…
What a great singer! If you don’t recognize his name, maybe you’ll recognize this song, which he performed on Saturday…
Here are a few other pictures of the band…
Don’t you just love the drummer’s do?
It was over before we knew it! BTW, that’s his wife standing to his right. She plays the keyboard.
While we waited for the next group to fine tune its instruments and set up the stage, the crowd grew.
Rooster slipped to my side just as the band began to play.
It was Family Force 5!!!
Can I tell you a little secret?
I had never heard of this group before Saturday. In fact, I’d never listened to a single one of its songs.
I wish y’all could have seen the teenagers who pressed in closer to the stage. EVERYONE was jumping in the air…including us old folks…keeping time to the words being pelted out by the green gloved young man…
These guys were like energizer bunnies…they never stopped moving!
Every performer had his specialty…
The next series of photos captures a unique drum/synthesizer. Notice how the buttons/pads light up as the band member hits them…
These guys were very talented. I was amazed as I watched them switch instruments and seemed to play effortlessly.
These guys were showmen to the fullest, giving the crowd a GREAT experience!
There was a LOT of dancing going on, let me tell you!
Question for you…have you ever heard the song titled Wobble? Neither had I…until Saturday…
What a cute song and perfect for even young children!
Of course, the group had to show us older folks how to do it…
I’m not ashamed to admit that I tried to Wobble as well. I couldn’t quite get the hang of wrapping my arms around myself as my legs criss-crossed, but heck. It didn’t matter. I was having fun.
The group finished its set and left the stage.
We weren’t fooled.
They came back for an encore…
Yeah…the balloons were…strange…to say the least. I wonder what my students would say if I walked into class sporting one of those things…
After the band finished its encore performance, it was time for a break.
I headed back to the potty I blogged about yesterday (porta potty on steroids), grabbed a plate of food on the way back, and sat down to rest.
There were two very BIG acts still to come…
(to be continued…)
