Last night, May 8th, I went to the Musica for a couple concerts I was really excited for. My first impression of the place was good- chill theme, and really nice people to greet us at the door. Most places i've been to people at the door are either rude or seem like they don't want to be there. The atmosphere was different. A few of the bands, especially Ivoryline (a alternative/rock/christan band) ended with a dedication to orphan children who are in need of food and water in the most critical places in Africa. They offered a way for people of all ages to get involved in helping a child in need through WorldVision. Most bands have their booths set up with their items to buy including t-shirts, cds, etc. However one of the bands caught my eye. They had a few tshirts but then the rest of their table was covered in stickers and little cards to fill out to sponsor a child. I thought, "wow, if only everyone did that!" I found it inspiring that there are many people who are not just making music, but making their music count! Somehow, someway they are making a difference. I personally have never EVER seen something like that at a concert, let alone someone talking about it during their show.It made me really respect that band, whether or not how they sounded. What do you think? Should we be more involved and impacting then we are? What can we do to be a part of someones life? What can we do to make music count?
