That's a big ol' crowd!

What a buzz!

I envy you, did you get any nerves before going on/while being on?

Guess you were pretty nervous right :)? I would be :D.

I've got a similar story; my dad did his first gig ever about a month ago. They were playing on a christmas party of a medium-size corporation. About 1.000 people, in a big conference hall at the airport, looking down on a runway. During their show we could actually see 3 aircraft taxiing down the runway and takeing off.
Never seen him as nervous as then, but it sure was a hell of a first time playing for such a great (in numbers:o) audience.

Did you enjoy it?
I play bass.

Well its a christian retreat called Winterfest for high school kids and we opened up for the middle school retreat a few months ago on a side stage and they loved us so much they asked us to play main stage. Everyone in that place was jumping dude! they all came up front and rocked out with us. I'll try to get a video done soon. And we sold out of a lot of merch! :D

We need to re-order many of these as to tey were a HUGE hit!
