The Wounded Warrior Project: Comparison Between Kiss And Def Leppard

1113 Words5 Pages

On Saturday July 19, 2014 I along with my family and friends attended the 40th Anniversary Tour in Charlotte, North Carolina at the PNC Music Pavilion. This concert featured two legendary rock bands, Kiss and Def Leppard. Also performing was Kobra and the Lotus. This was such an amazing experience because it was the first tour that these two bands have done together and being able to see both of them at the same venue was surreal. This concert was also a very meaningful one for everyone in attendance because Kiss was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2014. This concert was not only great for entertainment; but it helped a great cause with all proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. The Wounded Warrior Project helps …show more content…

Almost every fan in attendance left their seats to do whatever business they needed to do before the main act took the stage. As soon as the twenty-minutes were up the lights went out and on the projector screen it showed the band members of Kiss making their way on to the stage. The crowd’s reaction was outstanding; a giant roar came from the crowd when they saw them on the screen. Then there was a huge cloud of smoke, and fireworks exploding on the stage. Kiss then appeared as they were jumping around through the smoke, as they started playing Psycho Circus. It was unbelievable to be able to watch this band perform; the energy they played with was incredible. Kiss definitely knows how to make a concert special. The band Kiss used several phrases during the concert, meaning the songs contained a short passage of music. Gene Simmons also known for his stage persona “The Demon” was the bass guitarist and also a vocalist in the band. Simmons was definitely my favorite Kiss performer; he was because I was familiar with him due to my dad always talking about him when I was growing up. He performed his trademark by flashing his incredibly long tongue. Paul Stanley also known as “The Starchild” manned the rhythm guitar and led the band in vocals. Eric Singer known as “The Catman” was the man on the drums. “The Spaceman” Tommy Thayer also contributed on the vocals as well as being the bands lead guitarist. The fans in the crowd were going “nuts” the whole time, especially when they started playing Rock and Roll All Nite. The crowd then became electrifying; almost everyone in attendance was singing the song word for

There were a lot of people in attendance at this game with which I spoke who said that they come to the games, whether they be home or away, to see and hear the Highlander Marching Band perform both pep tunes and their halftime performance. While many of these people that I talked to were friends and relatives of the band members, there were a few who really had no affiliation with the band whatsoever. I took the time to speak with these people who were there for the band, and relatives answered with things like "My son plays trumpet and has a solo during halftime!" or "My daughter is a senior, and I want to see her perform as many times as I can this year!". However, those who really did not have affiliation with the band gave me some more

Well not really, the farm had holes in the fence and was in no shape for a 100,000 capacity. The stage was barley getting finished before people started slipping in through the fences. So many people did this that it was to much of a hassle to make them leave, 50,000 to be specific. This left the organizers with some problems, make the concert free or try and force 50,000 people to cough up cash. They went for the former.

My reactions were somewhat what I expected, as I had studied powwows before I went, but studying about powwows and actually experiencing them are completely different. I was an outsider in this event, but it did not affect my enjoyment of the performance, as it was fascinating and some people were kind enough to explain to me things that I didn't understand. It was particularly interesting because one of the tribes that participated, the Duchesne tribe, is the tribe that my dad works for, and I have Native American ancestry, yet I realized that I know so little about music in Native American culture, proving that this powwow provided the opportunity for people to become more knowledgeable about Native American music and

The following year, we were invited to march in the 2015 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, which stretched the end of our marching season from the typical October to the beginning of January. This past year we traveled to Indianapolis again and performed a show that, although it placed seventh in finals, emotionally moved every soul in our program deeply.
