What did I miss?


"On November 6, of last year I went to Traveling Through Time and Town at Shorter University. It lasted about 40 minutes, maybe a little more, and had about 30 or 40 people in attendance. It being my first college concert, I expected it to be longer and have more people in the audience, especially with it being at a university. Before I start criticizing the concert, I just want to say that it was overall, an alright or mediocre production. That being said getting to where the performance was taking place and a few parts of the concert itself was bad. Getting to Shorter was easy and the campus was very nice. Finding the chapel on campus where the concert was taking place wasn’t hard either, but when me and my friend walked in, we had no idea where to go as there were no signs. Later we found out that if we would of just went straight up the stairs that we would have been where we needed to be, but of course we went right and accidentally met up with the chorus. We walked all around the chapel getting an accidental tour and even found a door we could have used to sneak in and not have to pay, but we needed the programs so we eventually found the right place to get in. We took balcony seats and started looking over the program to see if we knew any of the songs and just see what would be coming. Soon more people started to filter in and then the chorus came on stage. Now skipping a song and going to Holy, Holy, Holy. I’ve heard this hymn a lot of times and never have I heard it performed so badly because of the beat boxer they added, I assume to make it more modern. Now the other songs were fine with few mistakes but this song alone made it a worse experience." That was a little excerpt from a past concert report of mine. I am a good critic.
