Winter Jam

Last night I went to Winter Jam, which is a big concert with Toby Mac, Branden Heath, Hawk Nelson, Tony Nolan (the speaker), New Song and Francesca Battistelli. I have got to say, it was so much fun! My small group went together, but some of the girls got armbands so we didn't sit together, but we were really close, they were in a box above and to the left of us. I have wanted to see Toby Mac ever since I missed seeing him at a Six Flags concert, and he was the best part. We had to leave a little early because some of the girls have school tomorrow, but we only missed the last 20min, including Jesus Freak : ( I wish we could have stayed to the end of the concert, but I was glad that we got to go. It's funny how I kept hearing songs and thinking, "I didn't know they did that song!" I knew more of the songs then I thought I would.

Tony Nolan was also really good. I have heard him twice before when he was touring with the Casting Crowns Lifesong tour, and I remember liking him. I found out a lot about him that I didn't know. He has an awful background, but he is a really good speaker.

Before the concert started, there were a few groups who did a "pre-concert party." One of the groups is called PureNRG and it is made up of 3 kids who are in 8th and 9th grade (I think) and they did hip hop and sang, very Radio Disney-like (they have been on there before). I am not too fond of that style, but for their age, I was impressed. They were good dancers and their singing wasn't too bad either.

Nathanael went too, but he went with the middle school boys from our church. Apparently they were sitting right above us, but we never saw them.
