It was finally here. The long awaited day was finally here. It was the day I was going to meet Fall Out Boy. The sound of the alarm started blasting through my room as I jolted awake and started frantically getting ready. I was so excited I could barely stop smiling for one minute. An hour later and I was ready. My Mum, Dad and I start to head for the train station to get the train to go to Aberdeen. We got on and sat down in our seats and all I could think was “is this really happening? Or am I going to wake up and it has just been one long dream?” but that thought was quickly interrupted as I heard the song ‘Thanks For The Memories’ start to play rather loudly. I turned my head hastily to my left only to notice two girls wearing Fall Out …show more content…
After only a 20 minute wait, the VIP line was taken inside. I received my VIP lanyard and then went into another queue. I was trying as hard as I could to remain calm, however, that didn’t quite work out. The very moment I had been anticipating for months was now only minutes away. Fall Out Boy, only a curtain away. After the most agonising wait of my life, I was next in line. My brain was scrambling and I started to shake like a leaf in a strong winter wind. I started to walk towards them with the largest grin on my face imaginable. “Hi! How are you?” in the sweetest, most uplifting voice I had ever heard, was the first thing I saw Patrick Stump say to me. I was looking at them all with nothing but shock on my face. I could do nothing except mumble incoherently, I was rendered completely speechless. I moved next to Patrick for the photo and out of blue I felt his hand grip my shoulder so naturally I put my arm around his back. For those few seconds where I was squished up against one of my favourite people, it was as if nothing else mattered in that moment. I was so confused yet, I was immensely happy as about a hundred other emotions started bursting through my head. After the picture was taken I looked up to my right to see Patrick and Joe both looking down at me smiling. The only thing I could fully pronounce was “Thank you.” I very hesitantly walk away as I say goodbye to Joe, Patrick, Pete and Andy, still with …show more content…
Eventually it came to the last song. The introduction was long but then ‘Saturday’ started playing. I continued to sing but this time, with tears in my eyes. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the day. The song finished and the whole crowd started cheering as they then took a picture with the whole crowd in the background. I watched them all walk off stage as I had to try come down from the unimaginable high I was feeling. I got swept away with the large amount of people all heading for the door and just went with the flow. The second I got outside it was the most refreshing thing I had felt. I had to stand for a moment to take in the fresh air as I was overheating and had been stuck in such a large room with a crazy amount of people. The room had become incredibly stuffy but I didn’t realise till the very end. This experience made me realise that, no matter how bad things got, there would always be something to look forward to. It made me realise no matter how unlikely something was to happen, there’s still the chance it would. I wouldn’t change that night for the world, it was the happiest I had ever felt and that night meant everything to
Fall Out Boy is an American rock band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 2001. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. The band originated from Chicago's hard-core punk scene, with which Wentz was heavily involved. The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a pop punk side project of their respective hard-core bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter. The group went through a succession of drummers before landing Hurley and recording their debut album which became a huge success.
After the long wait to get in you found your seat and waited for the group who was first. You would figure that know one would be doing any drugs due to the search before you got in there, but I was wrong not even ten minutes before the show you could smell the pot in the air. That was one of the few things wrong with this wild and crazy concert. After it was over that was all you smelled like and you were feeling the contact buzz as it felt like things were moving in slow motion.
On Monday March 25, some members of the baseball team, my girlfriend, and I traveled to Murray State University to watch a concert performed by Nelly and the St. Lunatics. It was a terrible night to go anywhere because it was raining and storming the whole way, but there was nothing that was going to stop us from going to the concert. We where all so hyped up about it and couldn’t wait to head out. My brother, who attends Murray State, had gotten us excellent seats about seventy-five feet away from the stage.
Everything was back to normal or so I thought. Once, we reached my house I got off and hurried inside to get my dress on. My dress was simple not too blinged up and two different orange tones. As my mom helped me get the dress on she noticed my curls falling. She finished tying my dress before quickly getting the curling wand redoing them herself. I almost cried as they didn’t stay put, it was like they had a mind of their own. One look at the clock made me forget about them. We were now running late to church and I had yet to put my shoes on and get the rest of the stuff I needed to take. I don’t know how I moved so fast and got everything done. The photographer were here and taking pictures before going outside recording as I made my way out of the house with my parents and siblings. We took a couple of pictures before I got in the car fidgeting as I looked at the time. There was no way we were going to make it in time. After, everyone got in the car we made our way to Graham where the church service was going to be
My final winter concert has come and gone quicker than I could have possibly imagined. It was certainly one I will never forget because it was my very first time performing in every band and choir group. It was a very stressful night but having it perfectly planned and having help from many of my fellow performers definitely made me feel a lot more at ease. This concert definitely had it’s ups and downs and there are somethings that I wish went a lot better. However in the end, I did enjoyed performing and gave it a lot of effort.
Ever since I first flung open the huge metal doors to our band room, I felt as if I had just entered my new home. The day I'd long awaited, the
line waiting to get in I could here the band that was performing. It was then
The day had finally come, the day Brooklynn, and I would meet our idol. Brooklynn’s parents picked me up around 12:00, and we were off! Our concert was at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. It started to seemed like it was taking so long to get there. Traffic was horrific, and it seemed like we were always making little pit stops. There was a car crash, so all off the traffic was backed up. We, our usual selves, became very antsy. We started to wave at every car that passed us. That’s when we met Julia. Julia looked like our age, and Brooklynn and I started talking to her out of the window. She also was going to the Justin Bieber concert. I sort of felt bad, because her seats were at the very top of the stadium. I’m sure it was hard for her too see.
It was after midnight and the band was midway through their final set. While celebrating love and life in all its purest forms, the night transformed into Valentine's day. I had no idea that a drama was unfolding.
By the twelfth song which was the last I could still feel the atmosphere, the pride and the gratitude of the people. We were just happy to be in their presence. For the last song the whole crowd moved together in a bizarre, alternative. dance. I am a sassy girl.
... thought that maybe we won’t be friends or even know each other in the future. Unexpectedly, we all had these feelings of fondness for a place we a come to despise and couldn’t wait to leave. Why would that happen to us? We all realized that in this moment we’re growing up but are far from “grown up.” Suddenly, there is a flash of light and in that moment I knew that the three of us would be separated for the rest of the day, maybe our lives. The flash brought everything back. It gave us a reason to go back into the hallway and meaninglessly chat with our friends. After we left that room we were still sharing a moment together but in a different sort of way. The picture was there and we had superficial thoughts but the graduation was so much more. It marked a major time in our lives and sent us off into the future. No longer were we the next generation because we were being sent off into the grown up world. Would we all still be appreciated? How is the world going to receive three naive girls who don’t know anything? All these questions were to be asked and to be forgotten because we got caught up in the moment. The picture marks that time in our past and an important time it was.
On the 13th of September last year, I attended their Where We Are tour. It took place in Rose Bowl, Pasadena. The concert started a few minutes after the given starting time which was 7:00pm. I did not mind because everyone in the stadium was chanting the One Direction name, screaming, and lights filled every corner of the stadium. Just being in the same location as the One Direction made me feel content. Everyone was filled with contagious energy. I was too happy to even care about the concert starting a few minutes late. One Direction came out a few minutes later and I just knew right then and there that this concert would be worth it.
Without warning, the lights went dark. This was the moment I had been waiting for. My adrenaline went through the roof. The time had finally come that I would get to see and hear my first live concert.
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
Then, I heard everyone scream “Surprise!” I could not believe my eyes. There was decoration all over the living room, a cake on the table, music and a big bouquet of pink flowers. My eyes start tearing. I was delighted and humbled by how lucky I was to have such an amazing family. I ran up to my parents, my three brothers, and sisters in law and hugged all of them. We started singing and dancing I cannot forget those moments of my life. Then I realized time was running and that I still had to go to my cousin’s house to do my makeup. I rushed to her house leaving my family at home, so they could get ready, and we could later celebrate after the graduation. As, Sandra was putting on my makeup; I was thinking of how I was going to react when they called my name on the stage. I was smiling as I was thinking of the moment of my
