Friday Night

Twas' a night unlike any other;
Lights flashing, amps blaring,
Strings a-rockin', the crowds cheering;
Rythmic gyrating bodies left but a blink,
and strong vocal tonalities were in sync;
Of Hillsongs and Planetshakers,
Hypertension and Beta-blockers;
Of lame emcees "That band is so BATU!(rock)",
and charming missies "What's her name? I forgot...";
The crowd was mesmerized,
Some names got publicized;
Friday Night-Exuberance,
IMU's talentime-an annual occurence;
Certainly left all with,
Tinnitus
-a ringing in the ears.

Jargon~
Hillsongs & Planetshakers: Two established Christian music groups from Aussie whose music were played during Friday Night.
Hypertension & Beta-blockers: Band names of the 2 accapella groups that performed. Both were very good.
Tinnitus: Name of the closing band for the night. Also a medical term for "ringing in the ears".


Redeemed-matt(drums), eeyan(bass), sarah(2nd guitar), joyce+ben(vocals), tom(lead guitar), cindy(keyboards).
The lettering for the backdrop(Exuberance) slowly fell out thru out the night-result a of lousy adhesive job. :P
This talentime was interesting as a strong Christian presence was felt. The first 3 acts were outwardly Christian ones: Ben~with his self-composition about relying on God in times of sadness, LED~played mostly Planetshakers songs and got some of the crowd jumpin', Redeemed~played mostly Hillsongs. It was almost like an evangelistic concert and hopefully lives were touched. I know I was,-the fire evident in several individuals that night encouraged me to live more boldly for Christ. Praise God!

I won't turn back and go my way, I'm running after You."
