Winter Jam came to Des Moines and I was excited to go.
For $10 you got to hear 10 christian bands in one big concert. I was most
excited for Jamie Grace and Toby Mac. I wanted to take Jayden and cousin Kellie
was back for the weekend and agreed to go too. It sounded like a fun time
together. I really didn’t know what to expect with general admission. The
concert started at 6, and we were parked and in the sky walks around 4:30. The
line was long, but moving. We just kind of went with the flow and before long
we were in. I thought we would find decent seats, however we were about 6 rows
from the tippy top. The concert was in the Wells Fargo arena and I had never
been in such a big auditorium with 15,000 people. We were so high up there. It
was loud and crowded and the first 3 bands I had never heard before. Finally
News Boys performed followed by Sidewalk Prophets, and Jamie Grace. Jamie was
super fun to see and hear. She only sang a few songs to give a taste of her
later performance and Toby Mac the highlight of the concert. With 15,000 people
in this building, I couln’t stop thinking of how we were going to get out of
there and to our cars. I also had thoughts of how would a person get out of
here if there was a fire, seeing a pyro technical act with shooting blasts of flames didn’t help
my thoughts either. So, it was
agreed between Jayden, Kellie, and I to leave early. We did miss out on Toby
Mac, but still happy we got to see her some and the other
bands. It was pretty cool and I am glad we got to enjoy it with Kellie. We got
back home around 10PM. Later I found out Kellie drove all the way home that
night to Minnesota in order to beat the incoming snow storm. That had to be a
long drive!Winter Jam came to Des Moines and I was excited to go.
