My First Concert

On Friday night, I went to my first concert ever. I wasn't really excited about it since I didn't really listen to the band. I got tickets for free from a friend of mine, so I said, "Why not?" We went to see New Found Glory. I had only heard a few of their songs, and they didn't seem too terrible to me. When we got there, only a few small bands were playing. I wasn't very impressed since the bands weren't very popular at all. In fact, there were bands playing for their first time ever. There wasn't much to do there as a 16 year old, except sit around and talk to your friends. The real action started when the opener band started to play. That's when people started flooding into the main room. Since we were on the Marquette campus, the concert was filled with college kids. And knowing college kids, it was bound to be a party. It was packed, and I was very skeptical at first to jump into the crowd. It was only until New Found Glory started playing that I did, and I'll never forget it. It was back to back, shoulder to shoulder. The shoving was wild. I lost my shoe at least twice. People were crowd surfing and screaming their lungs out. My friend said to me, "Your turn!!" Next thing I knew I was surfing over hundreds of peoples hands to the front of the stage. It really was indescribable. The experience was amazing, and I hope to do it again sometime.
