Personal Narrative: Hunter Hayes

Only a small percentage of the people who had bought tickets were unable to make the show. And it was really too bad that they were not able to make it, because it was reviewed by many who attended to be the best show that Interstate 35 had ever put on. And I got to be a part of it! Ziggy Springer was able to sing, “Oh Baby!”, at the top of his lungs to screaming teenage girls dressed in poodle skirts, sign plenty of autographs, and give his fans lots of hugs. The show was amazing, and everyone around me was amazing. The night was simply

I have often been told that I am irrational, and every time I deny it. Though, this time around I am afraid I have succumb to that label; and not only myself, but my dear friend John Laurens as well. I must say, it was folly on my part to call Charles Lee out on his bluff, but I’ve had an itch on my tongue to blurt it out since Monmouth. It’s as clear as day that the man is a traitor, but how does a great man such as Washington himself blind to the fact? I have tried to reason with him on multiple accounts, and regardless of the swearing he emits, he refuses for me to do anything to him.

Brittany Russel sang “Nobody Love”, she sang with magnificent range and gave the audience a nice pair of chills down their arms, because you could tell she sang from a personal perspective. She carries this certain style where it’s very raw and emotional. To bring an upbeat into the room Madison Slamka and Gillian Marino’s performance of The Beatles “Come Together” allowed the audience to release their worries and stress of the week that lay behind them. Their duet performance was entertaining and colorful, the two girls added their own style which gave the performance an extra twist on the song. This allowed the girls to not just sing the same style as the original artist, but to take the next step and recreate a clever, melodic song into something that was their own. One of my favorite performances of the night was The A Cappella Group. Their three numbers were amazing and left me wanting so much more. Even though Callie Atkinson was a featured soloist performing Hold my Hand, the groups back up was essential for the emotional feeling of the song. As incredible as their performances were, there was this one distractions to the group. The random movement of their upper bodies drew attention away from the

And it was sold out. The opening act of the concert was Vance Joy, who sang about five or so songs then introduced Taylor Swift. When Taylor Swift entered onto the stage, she was flabbergasted by all of the cheering fans who were chanting her name. She just looked around like she was watching pigs fly or something. Her First song she performed was “Welcome to New York and the stage was set up like Broadway. She sang another seven or eight songs and then she grabbed her black, shiny guitar and the entire walkway of the stage started rising up a couple stories and started spinning in three hundred sixty degrees while she was singing “Fifteen”. After she sang “Fifteen”, she told us that she had a surprise for us at the end of the show if we would keep up our enthusiasm. A few songs later, she said,”Are you guys ready for your surprise?” Then the Band Perry walked out and everyone started screaming. Including me. The Band Perry sang “If I Die Young”. The awesome part was that my dad was singing along to entire time to every song he

On 23Apr17 at 1311 hrs. I, Deputy Halbasch, was asked to Constance Carmichael in reference to a fraudulent transaction involving her foster son, Justin Kottom.

The lights would turn off, a song would start playing and everyone would cheer for the new singer.Those are the memories of my very first concert. Tyler Farr,Rodney Atkins and Miranda Lambert were the best 3 out of 7.

The show all started from open performances from Post Malone and Moxy Raia. When buying the tickets I didn’t know who these artists were so I had to look them up. Post Malone is a rapper and guitarist, so I thought he should be good. Therefore, when I got into the arena I was excited to listen to him, but it was awful. He was so loud and he didn’t really sing. I would never want to go back and listen to him again. This got my expectations down for the concert. I definitely

I have loved music since I was born, it has always been there for me. Although I love all genre of music my favorite has to be country music. You can interpret so much from one verse of music. From kindergarten to fourth grade I was in the school talent show singing. I loved getting on that stage and showing people what I could do.

My SOUL, Josh Fleisher, that i had last year did a nice job with me being an incoming student. I would like to be able to have the same opportunity as he did and make the transition from high school to college go much smoother than it would be at other schools. Im hoping to gain friendships with some of the incoming freshman, but also hope to gain work ethic and break out of my shell. I was quiet in high school and would like to branch out and help others that are transitioning and make it much easier on them. Also to meet other souls that may be connections and close friends that ill have for the rest of my life is truly remarkable to me. Im hoping to gain experience among working with others regarding performing scenes for the incoming students or just being able to talk with the incoming families about what Miami is like and how incredible it can be, purely on how you make it.

No sooner than we came back with the drinks than one guy who I found was named Dan pulled out a baggie and rolled a couple of big joints. Those were passed around and it seemed like Jazz always had one in her hand as the guys kept passing them to her.

After sitting at the same desk for three years, I figured I was beyond seeing anything new I was wrong. Walking into the classroom was Carrie Underwood. My idol since like third grade. She walked in came right to my desk and handed me a poster of her. It was signed by her too! Then she told me to follow her. We got on her tour bus, my whole family was on there too. There was a concert in Orlando that I wanted to go to because she was going to sing at. So we got on a plane but nobody told me where we were going. We landed and went to our hotel and Carrie went to hers. We were just getting ready for bed and my mom said she had something fun planned for tomorrow. So I didn't really get much sleep that night but I got a couple hours if I did get

It seems today that the main objective in life is to become the most successful you can be, to have the best job, to make the most money. I have grown up in a generation focused solely on self achievement, that the utmost important thing in life is self. This has created an ideology of selfishness among millennials. The underlying want for more has clouded the vision and need to help our fellow man. What good is one’s life if one does not positively affect others. What has one accomplished if, when one leaves this earth, one has not left it for the better?

What I liked most about the event was being able to sing every line of every song she sung. I have been a dedicated fan since I was an eighth grader in elementary school. It was great being able to see one of my favorite artists after all these years. So many childhood memories appeared in my head when she started singing all of her old songs. The happiness I felt in my heart from that show allowed me to forget my academic struggles for that night. Within my college career, this is definitely one of my favorite

On Saturday, June 22, 2015 Lambeau stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin welcomed Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney. Both of them are going to their own different tour; Chesney The Big Revival and Aldean Burnin’ It Down Tour into a co-headlining night. Not having been to many concerts, this was my first country concert and it got pretty wild. Along with the amazing performances, with the powerful effect their songs had on the audiences there was a lot more drama than expected. When the concert had come to a close there were over 25 arrests and kicked out over 100 other people. This concert definitely left its mark, but might have not been for the best reason. Other than the drama over the packed in audiences this concert was truly memorable.

I’m in the car on the way to Columbus, jamming Sticky Fingers on the radio and I am so ready to see Mick and the boys.I get to the lottery, present my ID, and get my envelop. The anxiety is very real in this moment, because I literally have a chance at the best seats or the worst. A slow peak into the envelope and I hold the tickets up and have my best friend do the honors. “WE GOT FLOORS!” That’s all I remember her saying. We rushed through the gates, flashed our thirty dollar tickets with pride, and got our floor section wristbands that were worth about 800 dollars. We walk down the stairs, and into our section and the view is amazing. The stage is huge, and It hits me that my idols are going to be thirteen rows in front of
