Lake Charles!

On Friday I missed a day on school to go to Lake Charles and perform with my band! At 6:30 in the morning, we met at Baton Rouge Music Studios to take a 2 hour car ride to Lake Charles. The car ride was fun. Two of the other singers, Sicily and Sydney, rode in the car with me and we jammed out to music in the back seat. We had so much fun in the car and bonded a lot. My mom was in the drivers' seat laughing at us the whole time...we literally went crazy.

At 9:00 we went to a small private school and played just a few songs. They weren't the best crowd. I was surprised to see that there were about two people in the audience that actually listened to music. They just sat there and looked bored out of their minds. I don't know why, because the music that we are playing is actually really up beat and fun.

At noon, we drove over to another private school with double the amount of people. This was the best crowd ever. We started our first song and they got into the music right away. They all stood up and started dancing! One of the guitar players was in the middle of a solo and just stopped and looked around like he was in heaven. It was pretty amazing. During the last song, we took about six audience members to play percussion with us and every single student wanted to join in with us. I was so surprised at their participation in the music and really want this crown every weekend.

Around 7:00, we started another performance. We were so tired because we had been loading and unloading equipment since that morning, but we still got through that last song. This crowd wasn't amazing either, but they weren't bad. The bands before us were AMAZING. They performed pop and rock songs as opposed to us, playing Louisiana music. I had a great time at wish I was still there. Come see us next week at the St. Jude Fair!
