[redwallgurl]

Has anyone been to any concerts at all?
I've been to two in my life, fun. and U2. They are an amazing experience.

i couldn't even begin to count the concerts i've been to in my life. been on a steady diet of several a month since i was maybe 16. they're jazz concerts mostly, but i'll list a few of the most memorable with some youtube clips of what they are to accompany;

at the london jazz festival this year, i'm going to be seeing four of my very very favourite musicians who i'm perhaps not going to get another chance to see. carla bley, steve swallow, kenny wheeler (again) and lee konitz... all of which are in their 70s or 80s.

i've also played a hell of a lot in my time. right now i'm playing at least one a week in london

Cool guys

  I've been to a Billy (or is it Franklin?  I can't remember) Graham festival, so I saw a bunch of different bands, including Group 1 Crew, Newsboys, and a couple of others that I can't remember (I was there five or six years ago.  ).  Then in 2011 I went to CreationFest, so I saw Red, Chris Tomlin, Newsboys, and I think a few other bands, as well as BRAD STINE!!!  Oh my goodness he was funny! 
  Oh!  And I've also gone to a Michael W. Smith concert, which was very cool, but he was ill at the time and was losing his voice, so he mainly played piano.

  Besides that, I'm a musician as well, so I'm in two concerts per year, playing (currently) clarinet, electric bass guitar, and I sing.  Plus I do a piano recital twice a year, so I guess you could sorta count that.

^Wow. That's a tidy lot! What kinda music do you sing to?

I haven't really gone to any concerts...my cousin did go to see Justin Bieber live. Said it was rubbish. That's it really.

Same.

I've played in a few for my school, but I've never actually been to one.

 I'm in a choir, so mostly choir music.  This year we're doing songs like Carol of the Kings, Breath of Heaven, I Go to the Rock, We Have Seen the Light, Hallelujah Chorus (ugh, that one's disgustingly hard!), etc.  Lots of Christmas music because we do a Christmas concert.  

[The Shade]

Nice. Do you ever get nervous?

[Rainshadow]

  Naw, I've been doing it for several years, so I don't really get nervous at all.  Plus the fact that the stage lights are so bright that you can't see any of the crowd.  That helps.    But I've seriously grown so used to it that I get sad when it ends.

Hey, another Choir Person! 

Man, I have been in choir for at least 4 years, and now I'm in an orchestra. I'm a little nervous, because my first Orchestra Concert is coming on November 14.

I am in a musical orchestra now also and in a few days I am going to do a recital for it!

Ooooh! What instrument do you play?

"Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away..." I used to love that song so much. Idk if those are the lyrics you know, but they're the ones I do I wouldn't be surprised if there were variants. Actually, I'd be surprised if there weren't.
