Packed with Glory

If you've been in the area long enough you'd know that once a year the coliseum host the so called Winter Jam.  Winter Jam is a group of Christian bands that get together and tour the united stated and one of their stops just happens to be Fort Wayne. This was my first year to experience the Jam but was it amazing. There is no doubt that I will be returning next year. The moment you walk in the building you can tell how big of a deal this thing is by the millions of people that are waiting in line. Most people know about how the big the home of the Comets stadium is, now imagine that completely full. Row to row people cheering, singing along, worshiping. As the concert started it was just amazing to feel the energy in the building, everyone was so excited. Band after band came on, sometimes even individual singers. What I didn't know was that they were saving the best for last. When the last band came on the crowd went crazy! They call themselves Skillet. They were the most uplifting, interesting, loud band I have ever heard. Their show was pretty cool too. They actually used real fire in the performance! The stage lit up and the crowd went wild. During the entire concert in between performances somebody would get up there and talk about different things. Someone talked about scholarships, another about sponsoring children in need; Anyway to help other people. Basically this concert was an amazing experience for me and I hope even more people decide to go next year.
