Planetshakers and The Takeover

About three months ago before SPM even started, a well known Christian band called Planetshakers held a concert in my church! It was a pretty huge event for my church I would say for there was a total of 1600 people (or more) who came. Upon reaching church, I was shocked because there was a massive queue of people were lining up from the hall onwards to the car park. The best part was 90% of the people there were new faces. I felt like a stranger in my own church lol.
But of course, being a member of HSG has its own benefits. I managed to cut the long queue and went all the way to the front hehe (PS there is no such benefit I came up with that benefit by myself ^_^) When the doors were opened, we rushed in and managed to get the front spot! People started filling up the hall one by one it was so packed I could barely move. But it was nice being able to see so many people longing to praise God.
The concert started about an hour later and they were so good! I loved the energy they had during the praise songs. The worship songs were beautiful and I could feel that the people there were moved by them. Best part was I was literally a few feet away from them!!!
The band!
Managed to take picture with two of the members from the band!
Great experience indeed!
HSG decided to hold their own youth concert known as The Takeover- Our Turn Now! I was called to join the music team to perform for the concert itself. I hesitated in the beginning because I had to cope with my studies due to SPM but agreed in the end because I knew God placed me in the team for a purpose. Working with the seniors was a whole new experience altogether. I've learned about being committed, pouring effort into perfecting a song, making sure that the hype is there and being together as a team. The organizer, Aaron Daniel, together with the committees had put in a lot of effort as well in making sure the concert was a success.
Before the concert started, the committees prepared some pizzas, light snacks and even free ice-cream for everyone! Because I was going to be on stage, I ate very little for dinner not because I want to diet ok I know I am skinny enough. It was because there would not be enough time for my body to do its digesting job, so. :(
Outfit of the night!
Aaron and Natasha were the emcees of the night. They did a great job in bringing up the hype of the crowd! The concert then begun.
Local dance group known as Hyperactive. They definitely did heat up the atmosphere that night!
Speaker of the night, Pastor Matt Fielder!
Half of the band! I wasn't in the picture because I was busy taking pictures with the others. :(
With the big brother (pun not intended)
Meet Felicia, a new friend I met that night!
