But no humidity and idiocracy could keep me and my friends from seeing our favorite band, State Champs, play our favorite song. ]]> 2016-12-22 14:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144684018 176783 https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686468 2016-12-22 14:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686468 176783 https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686782 Voices of the crowd soon quieted down when a new song started. The beginning chords started playing and I immediately knew what song it was. Everyone else did too. ]]> 2016-12-22 14:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686782 176783 https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686953 2016-12-22 14:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686953 176783 https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144686989  It was Kayla and my favorite song.

The voice of the singer was loudest, but the chorus of everyone around me reaffirmed the idea that concerts are a collection of people all loving the same thing.

As I was singing the lyrics with my best friend I felt incredibly relaxed, but equally as excited. I forgot about everything else in that 30 seconds and purely focused on singing and looking at the band play and sing the words I love and heard so many times before. ]]> 2016-12-22 16:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144700184 176783 https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144700338 2016-12-22 16:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144700338 176783 https://padlet.com/176783/8kx9y70peqrr/wish/144700399 The experience was individual, but also I felt apart of a larger community of people.  Even though the sound and people were roaring it was quiet in my mind. Kayla and I looked at each other and smiled and turned look at the main singer, Derek, who we both had a crush on.
