Pierce the Veil is a rock band that was formed in 2006. Pierce the Veil was created by Mike Fuentes and Vic Fuentes. The band is from San Diego, California. The band has four members Vic Fuentes, Mike Fuentes, Tony Perry, and Jaime Preciado.

Prior to the concert I had been somewhat familiar with all three bands' music. I

I am fixing my hair, and humming along to a song I heard on the radio, when I hear the concert start. I heard the announcements begin and the lights go dim. There was people all around me. People tripped over cords or called out demands. Some had microscopic mics on their faces, some had been putting on makeup on.

How is the tour going, Do you have any crazy stories to tell us, or which show did you enjoyed the most yet ?

What is slavery and where does it stem from. The Webster’s dictionary definition of slavery means “the condition of a slave; the state of entire subjection of one person to the will of another”. The African slave trade started way back in the 1400’s from the west coast of Africa1stAfrica entered into a unique relationship with Europe that led to the devastation and depopulation of Africa, but contributed to the wealth and development of Europe. From then until the end of the 19th century, Europeans began to establish a trade for African captives. Why would people do such a thing what were they to gain from such wickedness? Timothy 6:10”For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.

In The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois, the idea of the Veil is a dominant theme throughout the book. The Veil is a social phenomenon that describes the divide between black and white Americans through social and economic issues. To demonstrate these issues Du Bois utilizes vivid imagery to cement the abstract concept that is the Veil. He likens it by bringing together visions of the sea and land, exploring the parallels of John and John, personifying it into his own son and contrasting the city and rural village. Through this exploration of imagery, Du Bois creates a concrete image of the Veil and it’s warring sides.

I went to this concert not really expecting much, however I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the concert interesting, it was also fun and a good learning experience. I went in thinking that I wasn’t going to know anything, however, I knew some of the songs, and I was able to recognize many things that happened. I knew three of the songs that were played. These songs include “Take the “A” Train” which we learned in class, I also knew “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong and “In the Mood” by Glenn Miller.

Rewind to six months earlier, it was Valentine 's Day and my parents were getting ready to give my sister and I our gifts. We were handed a small, narrow wrapped box that contained tickets to the DCX MMXVI World Tour. My parents had bought tickets for them, my sister, and I. This tour was said to be the final tour that the Dixie Chicks would perform and we were going to the concert in Nashville. Since I had a love for the group from birth, I was ecstatic! It was just a waiting game after we received the tickets because the concert was six months

experience for me. It was far different from a rock concert held in some big

The music was so lively and the people were friendly. I really enjoyed that the concert was literally put on for veterans, and between almost every song the bands would thank the veterans and dedicate songs to them. For tribute to the veterans, we did the Pledge of Allegiance before the concert began. I thought this was a very nice touch to get the crowd involved and to show our support to our veterans. I originally only went to the concert for Three Days Grace, but I walked out with two new good bands to listen to. All three of the bands put on a good performance. I had expected Otherwise and Adelita’s Way to only play for about 30 minutes each since Three Days Grace was the headliner, but they both played for an hour each, leading up to Three Days Grace’s two-hour performance. I thought Three Days Grace would play more songs from their new album, but surprisingly they played a lot of their old songs and just a couple of the new ones. My favorite song was “Never Too Late,” because it’s always been one of my favorites and it was amazing to hear it live. All of the songs they played sounded better than on their CDs because you got to actually feel the music and experience it in real time. The stage lights were set up to where they blinked with the beats in every song, and it was really cool to see because it made the music even more lively. All of the bands worked well together and put on a great show. They all thanked

First of all, I had a terrible experience during an Akon concert at the Laredo Entertainment Arena, when Akon called on all the people to come closer to the stage. I was practically trampled by people rushing down towards the stage, and then there was the fight between two teenage boys who initiated in throwing beer bottles. My brother insisted that I would have a wonderful

When I'm at the Twenty One Pilots concert I will get to meet new people who also like the same band that I do. While I'm there I get to see them live and feel the vibe of all the fans. When the band is done performing and go backstage I will get to meet Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph.

These concert goers enjoyed no rules, drug use, sex, and loud rock music. Some of the best known artists from this concert were; Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Sly & the Family Stone, and Jefferson Airplane.

Never have I ever attended a performance like this without my parents dragging me against my will. The only other time I have ever attended a concert of this nature is when my parents force my sister and I to go to the local opera house every year on Memorial Day to honor our troops and watch a couple boy scouts earn the title of eagle scout. Honestly, because I have only been to these types of concerts against my will, I did not know what to expect. I was extremely stressed out about what was appropriate to wear and how early I should show up, without my mother’s time schedule, I was more than just figuratively lost. I did not pick this concert because I was interested, I simply picked a concert that I could attend without any conflicts to my class and practice schedules and went for it.

Concerts contain so many sensations. The white chairs being put away, the stage getting placed back on the big black trailer piece by piece, and the quiet shuffles of the last feet leave the stadium; the stadium transforms into the purple and white stadium it once was, leaving no
