Mercy Me Concert

     This spring I went to my first concert - Winter Jam. Shortly after going I learned that one of my favorite bands, Mercy Me, was going to be coming to my home town as part of their Imagine tour. I have liked their music for a while, but since concerts were never my thing I didn't ever think about seeing them perform in person. Winter Jam broke the ice for that and I realized that I would enjoy seeing them live.

     Unfortunately I put off getting the tickets a little too long. By the time I got around to it all of the seats in the section that I wanted had been sold, except for a few spots here and there. So it was either pay extra to get seats together in the next bracket or find someone who was willing to go to the concert with me, but not sit together. Who better than family to fill that role? I convinced my father to come with me. We ended up getting seats close to each other, one directly in front of the other with just a few rows separating.

     Even with the awkward seating situation I think the concert was an experience both of us enjoyed. I wasn't completely prepared with what to expect, but the concert was similar to the one I had been to previously, if on the smaller scale. The band performed well and we got to hear some of the stories behind their songs.
