To continue about last night's concert

The concert was so loud but it was worth the ringing ears afterwards! The TSO uses a lot of lights and lasers that are all cued to the music and the rhythmn of the sounds and whatnot so when songs were playing, the lights would dance right along. The lights were flashing EVERYWHERE and they were so bright! You better not have epilepsy or anything if you ever want to go see them in concert. They also had pyrotechnical stunts going on with fire blasting in the background every once in awhile (mainly in the second half of the show--the first half was a Christmas story so not as much pyrotechnics during that). It was so cool! Unfortunately, we couldn't take pictures but I don't think the pictures would've turned out so good anyway with all the bright lights all over the place. Anyway, in case you don't know who the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is, they're a group of musicians that play anything from electric keyboards to electric violins to all types of electric guitars and they're most known for their renditions of Christmas music. They also play non-Christmas music. For their non-Christmas music, classical music is their inspiration so basically, they make anyone who thinks classical music is boring think that it's cool. I was definitely impressed with their performance and Kyle and I think we may like to definitely go again next year when they make another round. I highly recommend this group and you can look them up online and possibly hear samples of their music.
