The invasion this was pretty good this year. We appeased the masses by playing freebird, it was pretty sweet. I preformed this year with a couple of my friends, we played Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, Fix You by Coldplay, and Don't Let Me Down by the Beatles. Don't Let Me down was easily our best song, Chris Estep and Schyuler Swartwood were singing and did an exceptional job at it, I played guitar, Evan Alexander was on Drums, and Cody Redfield was slapping tha Bass. I Hadn't eaten all did up until only thirty minutes before we preformed so I was starving which made my hands shake from lack of sugar. This did not help considering I was also nervous so I was Shaking like a madman. But it turned out okay, I would put our preformance at a 6/10 still enjoyable but needed a lot more practice than what we did. At the end of the Invasion all the preforming senoirs and teachers played freebird since it has been requested every year of the Invasions existance. That was a great preformance with Tom Horton on lead guitar who did an exceptinal job at the slide and solo. Since I've been to the invasion every year I've been in highschool and can confidently say it was one of the better ones. At no time did i feel that a band was playing to long or was boring.
Freebird!!!!!!!!!! Did you play the twenty minute version of that, or what? :) Sounds like you had a good time. There's nothing else like performing music live, in front of an audience - I can only hope my kids pick up instruments and learn how much of a rush it is!
ReplyDeleteNo we played the ten minute version, thank god because playing the bar chords at the solo part makes my hand cramp up. At the end of playing it i literally could not open my hand for a couple minutes.
DeleteI really wish I went to the invasion now
